Learning Curve



As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine, but finding the time, finding the bravery, and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way, but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog. I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger, fear of what friends and family would think, and most of all fear of letting myself down. But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve.

Ideally this blog will move from a personal blog to a lifestyle blog where I share the million things that go through my head daily. I want to be in prayer constantly and I want to follow the Lord in my post. I want this to be a place where I not only share where the Lord has moved in my life, but also for you as the reader/friend share where the Lord has moved in yours. I want to share the beauty but also the struggles that are motherhood. I want to write about our journey of being dairy free and the recipes that we find through it. I want to share my fitness journey and the new passion of the gym. I want to share all of this and so much more! 

So as part of the learning curve I am changing the name of this beautiful blog that holds our stories. Lace in Denver captured my heart immediately following our wedding. Our wedding was filled with delicate pieces of lace everywhere and it created this softness, this classic feeling. When I chose this name I needed this place to hold the softness in our crazy journey of life in Denver, and it did. Since then we have made Colorado our permanent home. We have purchased a home in Littleton and I no longer need this to be a soft place. I need this to be a place to share once again the beautiful struggles of life, so that is this. 

Welcome to Beautiful Struggles, hope you enjoy the learning curve.

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...

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...

Eight Months

Well beautiful we are another month closer to your big first birthday. As we inch closer and closer I seem to remember more and more those first moments with you. Like the moment that I finally made it into post op and they put you on my chest, it was as though all the pain of my c section was gone and time stood still. Or the moment of watching your dad and the nurses give you your first bath, I longed to be there by your side but also loved that it was your daddy with you. These moments fill my heart often, but as often as I long for those first few days I am just as eager to see where you go in this great big world. You have so much personality and drive that I know you are going to be one amazing adult. You are strong willed but never will I say that's a bad thing. You are quiet, observant, cautious, and slow. You don't make a single move without thinking it through. Your smile is contagious and you are still rarely seen without it. You are perfect! This month was fi...
