Thankfulness Lately

 

 Lately I have been thankful for glorious sunsets

 

 

 For beautiful homemade gifts from even more beautiful friends

 

 

 For family time and an inspring movie recomended by Dad

 

 

 For a facial night and catch up with friends

 

 

 For great friends I have known for almost fifteen years and times to cuddle on the couch, laugh and let our hair down.

 

 

For a safe home that I love, even if it decides to lock me out

 

 

For inspiring prints that I spot while window shopping at this store.

What are some things you are thankful for?
Happy Weekend-ing everyone!

Didn't expect this

It was one of those day that God springs on you out of no where.

Put my study boots on in preparation of writing 4,500 words in 32 hours.

Walk out the door and lock it behind me.

I stare at them through the window, hoping they could walk out on their own. No luck.

No money or credit for a bus ride.

How was your Thursday?



Lunch Shared with Family

Today has been beyond wonderful. My family came over for lunch. I didn't have to worry about a single thing, they brang a bbq and the food - all I had to do was open the door. I feel so blessed. The five hours spent with my loved ones was relaxing, humorous and enjoyable.

Thank you Dad for cooking the food, fixing the sink, finding the hole in cheesecake bottom, informing me there are a lot of houses around and for being so relaxed. 

Thank you Mum for making the salad, doing the dishes, noticing my weeded garden and realising my clothes line was on the right side of the garage. 

Thank you Nathan and Emily for making the effort on four hours sleep, telling me I could sell my artwork and understanding I only had man-size plates left to use.

You're all super-dooper fabulous! 

Making it Home

Home is feeling more like home.

Many dollars were spent at ikea {thankyou tax time!}, followed by many hours assembling furniture. As I hopped into bed at 3am after a bonding experience with Mr J and furniture making, I saw how furniture makes a house cosy.

The big move has been mighty hard and I miss my home and family in the hills, but I'm still excited for each following day and what God has in store for me.

The company of visitors has been wonderful. I have had coffee, tea and dinner dates, played board games and started painting canvas'. I can't wait to use the herbs in my new herb garden, display the ornaments and  fill my new furniture.

A big shout out to the amazing people supporting me through this life change.

The Move In

Mr J and I own a mortgage!! Probably the only time in our life that the word 'mortgage' is exciting. We feel so blessed to have bought our own home. It's a new journey, starting now!  Friday night I waved goodbye to mum and dad with a car packed full {mainly of clothes!}.

My weekend consisted of finding space in a lack-of-storage home, buying kitchen appliances and using my brand new washing machine.

 I watched a few episodes of this fantastic show to wind down at night.

 One of my biggest challenges was marathon-ing around the supermarket for one ingredient to add to my trolley load,

I now have a semi-full pantry and fridge and our house feels semi-organised. This is a bit exciting!
