how I'm doing and fun Pinterest inspiration

Haven't felt like blogging much lately for obvious reasons.  Just like any grieving process, it'll take awhile.  There are good days and bad days.  A friend said grief is like ocean waves, coming and going, stronger at times and calmer in others.  Truth.  If you're one of the many who have given us encouraging and sympathetic words, thank you.  We are loved.

I'm sitting in my living room here at night with just the glow of our Christmas tree lights.  That's right, our tree is up.  We love Christmas time.  We wanted to get it up to do something special together and start enjoying the season, however, it's not quite the same... which is to be expected.  Sawyer's little stocking is hanging near ours.  What else can you do but hang it up again?  

I've really been trying to focus on being thankful for our many blessings, including our time with Sawyer and all the wonderful memories.  Today was a good day.  After many nights of not sleeping well, I got nine solid hours last night.  I had a productive day at work and we had a great practice tonight with the worship team.  I got to spend a little time with Luke tonight, which was sweet because he has been pretty busy with work lately.  I just love him to pieces.  He's truly the best.

So until I feel like posting some creative pics again, here are some recent Pinterest inspirations, from cute fall attire to furry cuteness to holiday decor... Enjoy.
