For REAL?

Wow, I had no idea that I hadn't updated this blog since May. My, how time flies when you're...not blogging. No excuse, really. I've been busy...yes. But who isn't? So this will just be a mishmash of what I have in my head right now.

1. We have been doing loads of home improvement projects and most recently finished the tile in the bathroom. Fun. Or not. But it looks great, so I'm happy. We are painting the bathroom and our bedroom next...doing new trim, doors, ummm basically everything. Oh and we're doing hardwood floors. This is our tile (which we got on clearance).


2. Next Saturday will be one year since my brother passed away. In the past couple weeks I've went through being sad, angry, grieved, devastated, happy that he's no longer in pain...and now...like there's a big gaping hole in my heart. I thought that since I had dealt with it well in the past few months that the one year anniversary of his death wouldn't be that difficult. It is. It's hard. And it sucks.

3. I'm thinking of becoming Catholic. I don't feel the need to really elaborate on this anymore at the moment...maybe sometime in the near future, though.

4. I'm back to wanting a baby. Badly. We were very much considering adopting a little girl, but circumstances weren't favorable...though those are changing with the little girl we were considering. So...we'll see.

5. Finally, I probably haven't been blogging as much because I've been journaling more. Actual "hold in your hands" type journals. While I've been journaling, I've been listening to David Nevue. Wow, is he awesome. I had never even heard of him before I listened to his music on someone else's blog. This is one of my favorite songs:



How are all of you?

I'm very sorry about your brother. It must be so difficult to get past :(

I hope the circumstances change with your adoption plans! Adopting is such a beautiful thing to do.

I like your tiles!

I noticed you hadn't blogged in a while when I looked at my trends but thought "she'll be back" and you are. I love that tile! It is gorgeous. Would love to see some pictures of the bathroom renovation and the other stuff you guys are doing around the house.

Sorry about your brother and the difficulty of the anniversary. I think the first is always the hardest because just when you get in a good place, it comes and slaps you back to day one. Hang in there.

P.S. Love the song :)

Blogging is one of those things that you can just pick up again like riding a bike. :) Happy that you're back.
