Looking For A Place to Hang Our Hats

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Life is filled with being busy! 
You are either busy at home, busy with work, or both! 
Life is filled with being busy! 

For the Wilsons we have decided to see how busy we can be at this particular season in life. Kaleb is busy pursing his degree in Petroleum Engineer, which most of the time sounds like a foreign language.  I am busy with pursuing the title of "Rookie of the Year" at work, which leads to many stressful nights. And yet with all of this wonderful busyness we have also decided to throw a few more curve balls into the ball pin. 

As of this past weekend we are officially on the hunt for our "Dream Home" or as close to that as we can find in the Denver market. The housing market here in Denver is extremely stressful! Houses are going quickly, and many to cash offers. So in order to find a home that we are okay with purchasing, but also knowing that they there is some wiggle room we created our must have list.

Dream Home Must Have List
  • A Fire Place (you can't live in beautiful Colorado and not have a fire place!)
  • Four Bedrooms (room to grow)
  • A Finished Basement (with neither of our families living here it is vital to have a place for them to stay)
  • Room For An 8 Person Dinning Room Table ( I really enjoy hosting the holidays)
  • The Perfect Spot For Our Christmas Tree (I really like Christmas)
As we move through this journey we have decided to daily passionately pray about the home the Lord has for us. We know that he moved us to the Denver area, and we know that he has called us to Harvest Bible Chapel. Now we are passionately praying that he moves us into an area that we can grow with our community, share his word, and raise our little family. We are daily praying for the walls that will someday surround us, the roof that someday will guard us from the storms, and the love that will run wild through that home. 

I am excited to share this next journey with you. :)

XOXO, 
B

To Everything There Is A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 New International Version (NIV) A Time for Everything 3  There is a time   for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2       a time to be born and a time to die,      a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3       a time to kill   and a time to heal,      a time to tear down and a time to build, 4       a time to weep and a time to laugh,      a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5       a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,      a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6       a time to search and a time to give up,      a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7       a time to tear and a time to mend,      a time to be silent  an...

Top 10 Tips for Flying with an Infant

Last week we spent the entire week in Cincinnati for the national veterans wheelchair games, which was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life, but we will save that for a different post. We met great people, had wonderful conversation, and took our sweet girl on her first airplane ride. Being the crazy mom that I am, I stressed about the plane ride for far to long and made way to many mental notes on how to survive it. I asked everyone who had ever flown with a child what to do and received some great advice. My goal is to break it down into the top 10 things you "need" in order to survive flying with a baby! 1. Plastic Bags are Your Friend Prior to heading out to the airport I separated Ellie's diaper back with gallon size baggies. I had all her diapers and wipes packed in one, toys in another, and food in it's own. It made fast diaper changes before take off a breeze, as well as finding snacks in the air. Everything had its place an...

One Month

My Sweet Princess,  One month, how did that happen? There's a Winnie The Pooh quote that states "Oh no, please. Can't we just go back to page one and start all over again?", and sweet baby that is exactly how I feel. Oh how I would love to go back to day one and meet you all over again, and yet I cannot wait to see who you become.  You currently look just like your daddy, especially with your beautiful almond shaped eyes. Your hair is a light brown, but I believe everyone still has their fingers crossed that you will end up with red hair like your daddy (though I would be okay with a brown haired little girl). Your eyes my sweet girl are blue, I believe they are my eyes (but who knows). Your eyes have changed from sleepy eyes that look like they are looking through you to these big blue eyes that are filled with wonder. My favorite moments are when you are lying on my chest and you turn and look up at me. In those moments I feel like you k...
