Do you feel defeated? Do you feel alone? Do you feel misunderstood?
Today, I am GETTING WORK DONE. I am super super sick (yay), but I just have a lot to do anyways. I am in the office (sitting at home in bed) 9-2 today listening to @jonasbrothers and @anniefdowns, editing my butt off for some of you, sending out wedding questionaires for my June/July couples, revising my June email, posting fun, helpful wedding planning content, and so many things. What are you guys getting done today?

Ok. Our first 3 days home have been a blur. Packed with OUR PEOPLE 🥰 Being away from home was different this time. Dynamics and expectations were just different... I was grinding my teeth every single night (My body physically does not let me hide that I am stressed) and I really, really wanted to come home. As much as there was to work through, like learning family personalities and pushing through the anxieties and finding our role in their everyday, it was a super great trip. Everything in the Midwest is so, so beautiful. The hikes, the lake days, the air was my favorite. Yet, I was not used to the noise or four kids or a shift in food or having to find time to give myself space to be alone. It was a good-ah-whatisgoingon-thisisamazing-why-ugh-laughingsomuch couple of weeks away. Home just felt more special. Feeling known. Being valued. Remembering how special my people really are. Staying is hard for me. Like even just the word "stay," EW. What is natural for me is to go. Go far. Go somewhere new. Just go. I think about all the lives that could be ours and I do not see obstacles or barriers to receive those lives as realities, I just see the path to get there. Wide open for us. Hawa'ii; Walking to the markets, littles on surfboards before they can walk, waking up by the shore before heading to work, a culture of warmth and closeness. The possible lives go on and on. I like to know the plan. I like to know all the details. I like to be prepared. I like to know to know what's next. I like to be in control. I like to have an easy answer for small talk. I like to be seen as focused, as determined to follow through, as able. And yet, that's not the secruity or identity that we were ever promised to have. So I will stay, even though it's hard, until God moves us somewhere else. PS: ACCEPTING ANY AND ALL ADVICE FOR MOUTH GUARDS. I have grinded my teeth when I was stressed or overwhelmed ever since I had teeth. Sorrrrrrrrrrrry Mama and now, Sam. He says it sounds like someone is literally sawing in the bed with him. AHAHA. Drama.
