{5 weeks}

whew! 

it's been FIVE weeks since i've blogged.

and, a lot has happened in those five weeks.

the good, the bad, the ugly.

life.

in an attempt to not be a half-glass-empty-kinda-girl

at this very moment, i will simply post that i am 

alive and kicking {thank the LORD and I mean

that literally}....but, otherwise, this post will be brief

other than to say....

*i am so very thankful it is spring

*i am sitting in a living room with 2 dogs

and 2 boys simply thankful

*taxes are DONE!

*new chicks were added today {pretty

white laced red cornish and a barred

rock, i think}

*i am thankful for all of the business, but

am overwhelmed with all of the rainouts and

no room to quickly reschedule them

*i am thankful for sunday and all that it 

entailed.  evan's baptism was precious.

i didn't take a single picture.  it was

one of those moments i simply wanted to 

"be" in and not 

behind a camera.  i think i shock people.

*i've been trying several new recipes. 

it was a healthy chicken nugget recipe

tonight.  FAIL.  BIG fail! 

*so thankful our precious B is doing better.

*sand remains in my car.

*shells remain on my patio 'drying out'

in the never-ending rain. 

*i've been on a roller coaster ride of late -

and, i've hated every second of it.  but, again,

life tends to happen and all i've known to 

do it pray and pray some more.  

the song "worn" could have been written by me.

but, i trust i'll be on the other side of this

struggle soon.  life is definitely not all mountain tops

with pretty butterflies flittering around. ;) 

xo,

Shannon
