Obedience

Earlier today I was putting all of the letters from when Zach was in basic training into a display box for the office. I ended up reading a few and came across something that his mom (my mom-in-law!) wrote to him. She said "Obedience to God brings blessings, and disobedience brings curses." That quote stuck with me all throughout the day and I just had to share, because it is so true. Some of the best blessings that have come my way have happened when I was truly obedient. Having quiet time, praying, and studying the word are all so important and this quote really motivates me to be 100% obedient.

Our fire pit!

A few weeks ago we completed our first home project! We decided to do a fire pit first, since we have people over a lot, and it's always cool in the evenings in Colorado! We went to Lowe's for all of the materials, and it only cost about $80. We love it!

May goals

I can't believe May is here already! Time has gone by so fast. I can't wait to see what adventures this summer brings!

May Goals:

1. Finish the office renovations. This weekend we started a few projects for the office and we hope to get them finished next weekend. The entire office won't be fully done, but I will post updates little by little :)

2. Complete the She Reads Truth study that I've started this month. 

3. Start and stick to a running schedule. Why is this always so hard to stick to?

4. Have a get together for Zach's birthday/Memorial Day. Delicious, festive food. Presents. Grill out. Fire pit!

5. Have one weekend with Zach, JUST the two of us. Every weekend we end up having friends over, which we love, but I think it will be good for it to just be us for a weekend!

Backyard Decor Ideas

We have people over a lot and are so excited to be able to hang out outside now! Here are some decor ideas that we hope to bring to life this summer. I LOVE the blue table set from Lowe's! 

Easter

Last weekend we had our first holiday at our new house! We decided to make a big dinner for all of our Army friends that couldn't go home for Easter. It was such a fun and relaxing day and I can't wait to have more holiday celebrations here!

Love this guy so much!

We're home owners!

Sadly, decorating a new home is a slow process, but we can't wait to begin!

Almost time!

Only a few more days until we close on our first house! 

We're working on packing everything up and will be moving in this weekend. 

Can't wait for all of the extra room, a big back yard, and to decorate!
