our little haven (in the south)

"One of the hardest things to realize is that our someday is right now."
(I love words, sayings, quotes, scriptures & write them down all the time--bear with me as I share them!)


This little haven of ours hasn't sold yet. Going on month 5, everybody. It's okay though. We aren't planning on giving it away and are patiently (not all the time) waiting for that one very special couple/family to cherish it as we have. You are out there! Get a move on it! Just give me a bit of notice before you come- for I have stopped keeping this place spic-n-span 24/7.
Not that I have given up, but c'mon...

No really, it's a gift every day to live in the moment. Live fully right now. Not tomorrow or yesterday. Today. And today is good. There have been many times in my life where I have lived in the past or the future. To be content and grateful for right now is priceless considering the huge transition we are entering and all that is unknown. I know that peace only comes from the Lord. There is comfort in knowing that there ARE plans for us (fabulous one's to boot) and that we are just in a holding pattern at the moment. We/I are simply walking in faith and knowing that there is always hope sitting softly on my shoulder every single day. It's like a song that is constantly singing in my heart.


Here are some pictures of what it is right now for us. Labor Day weekend on our haven in the south....

  Tremendously awesome sunsets in our backyard almost every night. Of course we don't own that prairie behind us...but certainly enjoy the free views.

The fantabulous man in my life who traveled all week last week and then came home to set up camp in our backyard with some special girls in his life. (Great campsite available all seasons; especially on a chilly night with convenient fridge and clean shower steps away. Can't beat it.)

Our neighbors next door have this crazy good tree house/play area in their backyard- complete with a fireman pole and small zip line. Aaaand they like to share it with us. Yeeesss!

The nights are getting a tad cooler finally. We have been frequently sittin' out like "porch monkey's" (as Daddy says) in our front driveway eating dinner, biking, playing....even our Polly-poo has her seat. She sits on it like an old lady and doesn't want to get down. Too cute.

Porch monkey Hannah, in her sweet tooth heaven. An ice cream truck came through our hood... and of course we excitedly jumped up and HAD to get huge bomb pop's and stuff. (Remember how fun it was to hear the tune of an icecream truck?!)
