Hello Again

Life, for us, has been a little helter-skelter here lately, but it's starting to slow down...I think. To be honest, I didn't have the best week. My body and emotions were a little worn thin. I felt as though they were fed up with me after all the craziness we've through of late. All that to say, I've been extremely tired. My patient husband has had to convince me multiple times that, 
"Babe, it's ok to get some rest, alright?" 

 And we've done just that the past three days. We didn't have to be anywhere or have a schedule to follow. We were both in the same State at the same time, hallelujah. 
(this is something I appreciate in a whole new way now). 

We ended up:
 sleeping in
 getting our house (mostly) cleaned up, 
bathing Sadie
grocery shopping
rescuing/relocating two turtles
...oh, and finding that very-important-to-me journal in the picture up there. 
I'll share more about what that's all about some other time.

I'm feeling ready for the week ahead after this bit of recuperation at home. Plus, having extra time with my Jonathan always helps anything. He really is the best for me y'all.
I'm ready to get some work done, create some beautiful things and let God work grace and strength back into my soul. 
It's a new day, a new month. 
Here we go. 

Fill up all my emptiness, Jesus. 

p.s. and no, no, no...I'm not pregnant. 

Suspicions crushed.
