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

It's a Family Tradition

"Traditions are behaviors and actions that you engage in again and again – regular rituals that you perform at the same time and/or in the same way. Traditions can be big or small, but they differ from routines and habits in that they are done with a specific  purpose  in mind and require  thought  and  intentionality . Meg Cox, the author of  The Book of New Family Traditions , defines family ritual as “any activity you purposefully repeat together as a family that includes  heightened attentiveness  and  something extra that lifts it above the ordinary ruts .” Traditions, when done right, lend a certain magic, spirit, and texture to our everyday lives." Brett and Kate McKay As we approach the wonderful holiday season my heart begins to journey  back to childhood memories and the family traditions that make those memories so perfect. I come from a large family filled with lots of cousins, tons of laughter, and of course many tradit...

March 30th

The last two months of our lives have been a complete whirlwind of emotion, stress, and utter joy!  On March 19th we were able to endure our first IUI, where I laid very similar to Phoebe in Friend's and prayed with my husband that this would be our first and last IUI. We went in with hopeful heart's and praying minds, and knew the lord had a plan. The following weekend we went on vacation to San Diego where I unfortunately began  to believe that our IUI had not worked, and that we were not pregnant. I experienced cramps, was grumpy to my poor family, and walked around feeling like Shamu on the beach. So obviously I wasn't pregnant, right... Fast forward to March 30th, two days before I was technically supposed to test. It was a Wednesday night, a Wednesday night where I  obsessively thought about nothing else but that I wasn't pregnant. I did what any mildly obsessed woman going though infertily treatments would do, and tested. I jumped in the bath and pretended th...

Remembering November

Well, hello there November, and yes I am aware that it is November 3rd and well I should have written this three days ago, but anyway  November has always been one of my absolute favorite months, for well the obvious, Thanksgiving, fall decorations, and MY BIRTHDAY! Which is in two days, I'm like V for Vendetta REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER. All of these awesome things are reasons to absolutely adore November, however two years ago November also developed a very different feeling.  November 10th will mark the two year anniversary since Kaleb's accident. And though I will always love November I now have a heavy heart as we fast approach that day. It is as though every birthday will in some odd way be a reminder of my 21st which is what I was celebrating when I received the phone call that forever changed our lives. Every Thanksgiving as joyous and wonderful as it will be will also remind me of the saddes...
