i was playing with the effects on the camera on my phone . . .
solarize is pretty funky.
and i was enjoying the coziness of home . . .
i can't even begin to tell you how grateful i am for our home. to live in the house that ben and i built together . . . . to have realized our dream of living in our forever home by the time we were both 30 . . . to be collecting memories and treasures that make our home a reflection of us . . . i am so very blessed.
i am sitting in the break room at work right now. i worked 15 hours - last night overnight into this afternoon, went home to sleep about six and a half hours, then came back tonight for a regular overnight shift. i am very much looking forward to heading home in the morning, sleeping for a few hours and then spending time with my rockin' awesome family
while i was sleeping this afternoon and evening, ben took the kiddos to barnes and noble. they had never been to a big bookstore before. wow, were they excited to tell me about all the books they looked at while they were there! ben said they would have stayed all night if he would have let them. maddie told me that she really missed me, especially when dad told her that he and i used to go to barnes and noble for dates before we were married and when we were first married. isaac wished i could have seen all the cool lego books.
i painted isaac's room on friday before i headed to work. so tomorrow i should put his furniture back, hang some things on his wall and get him all settled in his new mossy, olive-y green room.
i get to keep babysitting our two little buddies for the next few months!!! i just found out tonight. i am so happy and relieved! maddie and isaac will be happy, too. and so will ben. having the little kiddos around is so fun. and me not having to pick up a bunch more night shifts is awesome, too. (if you were praying about this for me, thank you. you are good friends and our God is good.)
so, i guess this could have been bullet points again . . .
i hope you all have a wonderful sunday. love, ~e
