We signed for a house today! It's a decent size with a big front porch with an ocean view and a screened in back porch with a mountain view.

Day 1 of Empty Nest Summer
I'm super tired today, but I've made something of my time. I've done the dishes. Last night we bought another crock pot, and I cooked my husband's lunch for the week. I've journaled in my Bible as well and chatted with A via text. The laundry is done. Best of all, I've started reading 3 … Continue reading Day 1 of Empty Nest Summer
Summer is here
A just landed back home with her grandparents. C and I are having a lovely day just us again (A traveled all day Saturday too). We went to a lovely shop that sells coffee and analog photography supplies. C got excellent coffee. I got an adorable new 35 mm camera with a bunny character on … Continue reading Summer is here
Looking Ahead
I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me. I will struggle to sleep for the 24 hours or so that she will be traveling. But after that initial, terrifying … Continue reading Looking Ahead

This week has actually been pretty awful for me. Bipolar mood swings have rendered me exhausted and unable to function. Fortunately we are staying … Continue reading Home

Now I have a 7 hour flight. My anxiety is high, and I hope it doesn't get the better of me. I have … Continue reading Headed to Our New Home
I Throw Out My Art
I throw out 99 percent of the visual art I create. Crazy, I know, but I move too much and make too much to keep it all. Honestly, most of my work is not even created with the intention of being kept or hung on a wall. Most of the paintings that I post on … Continue reading I Throw Out My Art
Pictures from Hawaii
In Hawaii
We arrived in Hawaii yesterday afternoon. The dogs arrive today. Right now we're driving along Fairington Highway on the leeward side. It was so sweet. When we arrived at the airport, C had someone there to give is leis with real flowers. Gorgeous. Write later.
