    I took some photos of the little man late this morning. I picked my two best shots and I was just trying to decided on which image to post. Then, I decided to take Elijah outside and I happened to already have my camera strapped around me. This little guy hates the snow!

    I guess I am just really liking black and white these last few days. This kid gave me too many great faces this morning. This face won me over.

    Today was a hard day with trying to decide what picture to take and which one was the best. I had so many different ideas, but too many things didn’t go in my favor.

    I am not sure what these two were looking at. Elijah was probably watching the snow fall. It had been a favorite thing to do lately.

    Day 2 We are stuck at home and not headed to church because we decided to bring a Montana winter to Oregon. The snow keeps coming and the drive down the Gorge to Hood River is icy.

    I have been wondering what to do with my time lately while we are still figuring out life. I don’t do much right now and am starting to miss my busy life that I had back in Bozeman. I was never bored. I had a cleaning schedule for my house, I would run, I’d take…

    After a month of delays that kept coming, our house finally closed yesterday! It was a rough ride especially for me. I spend my days at my parent’s house just thinking about our current life and all that has gone on. I don’t see my friends since they are miles away, Brent is away at…

    I just so badly want to know what God’s plans are for my family right now. Throughout the summer, He kept certain doors closed and then opened others. Here we are sitting in the PNW still not knowing where we are suppose to be exactly. Our house keeps getting delayed. It will have been at…

    We spent our first Thanksgiving in the PNW and it was a beautiful light rainy day. I don’t think I have ever spent a Thanksgiving away from my sister, so this year was hard. We normally start our day by heading outside to participate in the local Huffing for Stuffing race. Since Elijah came early last…

    Brent and I tried out a church for the second time yesterday. The pastors sermon couldn’t have been better for Brent and I after the week we just had. As we are constantly thinking of those that we left and dealing with those feelings. We are also dealing with the delays of our house closing…

    I have always struggled with patience. I want to have a plan for everything and I want it to happen in my timeline. God apparently doesn’t want that for me lately. With everything that has transpired since Brent started applying for jobs, it has been a waiting game. It hasn’t been a normal waiting game…

    This past weekend we headed south to go visit Brent’s brother in Eugene. From the little bit we were able to explore, it was a beautiful city. The one thing that I could really tell that my brother-in-law really enjoyed about it was the proximity to the trails.
