My Artist!

Mason is the most creative little boy I know. He totally takes after his father. He is an amazing singer, he produces and creates movies, he is imaginative with very creative ideas and he is an amazing artist! So we were not completely surprised but extremely proud when he was one of 12 students out of 800 in his school to be chosen to have his artwork displayed at the Volunteer State College's Elementary Art Show!!!! Way to go, Mason! We celebrate you and your creative spirit!!!A chalk self portrait

I'm goin' back to Cali, to Cali.....

Thanks to my amazing friend Mandy's amazing husband Ashely, I will be jetting off to LA in less than 5 days for a girl's trip! For the first time since having children, I will be going on vacation with two girlfriends and no children. I will miss my babies, I will miss my hubby, but I am so excited! I am looking forward to some girl talk, beach time, shopping..... AND....... drumbroll please....... I will be attending American Idol on Tuesday the 9th! So look for me in the audience! I probably won't be hard to spot as I will probably be the oldest one there rockin' my Mom jeans but having a good time! Yeehaw!

The next big adventure????

As you may know, we have our house up for sale. So far it has just consisted of a FSBO sign in our yard which does not generate much traffic since we are tucked away in a neighborhood. We have been meaning to put it on the MLS since January 1st. Why have we been dragging our feet? Mainly it has been me. We don't really have a specific "house" or neighborhood that we are looking to move to. We just know that this house and neighborhood are not best for our family. So when I look at the MLS listings, I am a little discouraged that I don't see the perfect home in the same school district. I have been struggling with the Faith that God will orchestrate it all. We don't want a bigger or fancier house. We want a place where our kids feel free to be as silly and creative as they want to be.

So where does the Big Adventure come in? Well, as you know...... Rob and I have the adventure in our blood. Traveling, moving from Bellingham to Lynden, changing careers at all ages, taking a month long roadtrip in our trailer, moving across the country to a place we had never been before. We love it. Sometimes it's hard, but it is exciting and life feels to short to not adventure out!

We love Nashville. We do not regret our decision to move out here. Rob LOVES his job. The kids love their school and have some great friends.

But Rob and I have a little itch..... maybe I do more than he does, but it's there. And the thought of moving across town to both of us isn't as exciting as moving on to another Adventure. Where? What? No idea. Maybe it is just across town, maybe it is a new school, maybe it is a new city, maybe it is something we never imagined, maybe it is our lives now, but with a twist or a little better than we thought it could be. But I am going to put the house on the MLS this week, pray and have faith that God will lead us and fulfill those desires of our hearts and scratch that itch.

3 Cheers for coming back!

I have been intimidated to start up on my blog again as it has been so long and I didn't want to play catch up. So I decided today was a good day to just start fresh.
Happy March!
Spring is coming!!
