Chronicles of...Rochester

Hey y'all! I feel the need to really ham up my Southern charm now that I'm a Midwesterner. I had to give my phone number to someone yesterday and I made sure to say fahvvvvvvvvvvve (you know...instead of five). And yes there are three fahvvvvvvvvvvve's in my phone number. 

Lately, we've been settling into our new routine. Well this is the first routine we've had in months! I am still without a car so I have a simple, slow paced life (and I'm about to die!!! But I'm learning much about myself, my God, and my ideas of what's important in life). 

I'm trying to step back from my to-do's and need-to's and actually enjoy time with my daughter. It's more intentional than I would've imagined. Instead of lamenting over my lack of curtains, drapes, or any other type of window covering, I'm trying to enjoy the glorious view of the snow covered landscape. And, as difficult as it can be sometimes, I'm trying to rest, listen, and pray. Really rest in God's Word. Really listen to what He is teaching me. And really pray for people in my life. Praise God for his grace, because I will fail in all of these areas without it.

Besides that, I'm waiting on the arrival of my sweet niece Mae. Praying for you little girl! AND I'm toting Addison ALL OVER CREATION in a sleigh...well it's really a plastic sled but I like to think that it's a sleigh. And I sort of feel like the White Witch's polar bears when I pull her on it.

Not going to post a pic of me in my winter get-up so Forest it is!




Have a great evening!
