right now.

feeling rested (took a 4 hour nap)
cleaning dishes (and feeling okay about it)
drying the last load of laundry (and ready to put it away)

putting up christmas decorations (and singing and swaying to sarah)

was initiated into a beautiful organization today (the teenager calls it my gang) with dear kite flying friends and new friends

although i've had multiple meltdowns over the last few weeks, this week i got to have one with my Bishop and it felt so so good.  i needed to see him look at me and i needed to hear his comforting voice.  i'm thankful he is such a good man.

looking for a new place to call home.  we've been in our treehouse for 13 years. the boy was only 7months old when we moved in.  but it's kind of falling a part around us and they need us to move out.  it's kind of funny how that works.  i mean, i never thought they would be the ones telling me it was time to move on.  so, now really wanting a house that is likely under any renters budget to allow someone to live there, and trying hard to get excited for another apartment...  and i suppose we're mostly trying to get revved up about packing and moving. during the school year. omg. 

my mom came to run an austin errand and stayed to help ease my troubles this week.  she was a cleaning, organizing, errand running, crazy lady...and then she fell down my apartment stairs!  bless her heart.  it could have been a million times worse, but she "only" tore the ligaments in the top of her foot.  she's in a big boot and bored out of her mind (no walking, no driving, no nothing).  she's also going through shopping withdrawals:) 

rejuvenated with snipits of beautiful friend time last weekend.  it does wonders for the soul let me tell you.  there are a few more i need to reconnect with to complete that feeling and i can't wait. 

i was gifted the most beautiful personal treasure (anonymously) on my front door recently.  i have been racking my brain because clearly they know me well and it was so special to me yet i had no idea who it was from.  i will share it with you in its own post because it seriously makes me all warm and emotional and i adore it.  thank you sweet sweet anonymous friend.

i have no idea how i'm going to get out of this unhappy feeling or life mess i feel like i've gotten myself into, but this week amongst the chaos i felt like i would figure it out.  there are so many beautiful people in my life, there is so much to be thankful for, and i know i will figure it out.
