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

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...

Nine Months

        My Sweet Eloise Jeanne, Month nine has come and gone and mama has been the worst at putting this together. Has with every month this one has been equally busy and equally different. I find myself smelling your sweet baby scent as it becomes fainter. I hold you nightly after you have fallen asleep staring at your sweet tiny face. This month I feel that we said goodbye to my baby baby and began welcoming our soon to be toddler. Your personality has come out in force, you know what you want and will do whatever it takes to get it. You are determined and strong willed, both qualities that I know will take you far in the future. I miss my baby baby but love playing with my new toddler girl. This month was a huge month for mobility. We went from not really being able to move at all to moving constantly. On July 25th you began trying to army crawl and can successfully get yourself from one place to another. On Friday,...

Eleven Months

Hello Eloise Jeanne,  Can you believe it, you are eleven months old. This month was different than the others because I knew exactly what we were doing a year ago. I remember celebrating you with our church family back home, I remember making the long drive to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta and celebrating you at Aunt Becca's shower. I remember feeling as though I couldn't get any bigger and then I did. I remember counting each of your kicks to make sure you were growing just right. You were my best friend long before I met you and you captured my wold long before the world greeted you.  This month you seemed to truly embrace that crazy toddler side and nothing can stop our speed crawler. You know exactly where the dog food is and love to play in Chuck's water, chuck does not find it quite as amusing. You are love to smile, you are constantly smiling and waving at anyone and everyone. You figured out how to wave, the sweet little precious wave whe...
