change is coming!

every year around this time....


winter is inching closer to being done (despite the snowfall/rain we are having this week) 
i can feel it! spring is coming and so is change! one day you just wake up and say "there is hope!" and today was that day for me. this winter has been plenty long. long for so many reasons. it's been a challenging season of life and once again i am reminded i only have so much control and that i can only control the way i am. things happen and you have no idea what good can come from them but yet it somehow does.

i tend to hibernate in the winter. i definitely am affected by lack of sunshine. winter in mn= perseverance. it makes us hardy people that's for sure!

i just got back from a family vacation in copper mountain, colorado and it was amazing! it was so nice to enjoy the mountains and sun! you start to forget what the sun is like and the warmth it brings. a few of us came back with racoon eyes :)

to give you a glance at what we were workin with....


it was rough. 

soooo i love this quote that my sis-in-law said when we were getting ready to leave:

"don't be sad that it's over, smile that it happened :)"  -tracy ann stanz

 it's so her too. she seems to find the positive in everything and i find myself wanting to be more like her all the time. but what a great statement! it can apply to almost everything. life is about perspective. you can find good in anything if you want to. after all, bad things are bound to happen its just a matter of when and how you react to them. 

changes i am looking forward to:
  • a new living space aka MY OWN SPACE! 
  •  finding and raising a rhodesian ridgeback puppy cousin for rosie :)
  • dog sitting for rosie girl at the end of march
  •  supplemental income (tbd!)
  • practicing more positivity! 
  • investing in uplifting friendships and removing toxic people from my life
  • long hair :)
love this!


and finally, my heart and mind are set on this verse:

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2

God's will is perfect. His timing is sweet. He cares about every detail of our lives and all we need to do is trust in Him.
