12.

It can't be. Not allowed.

On Saturday, my sweet blonde boy turned the big ONE-TWO.

 little brother was happy to serve him breakfast in bed.

I was happy to watch his peaceful sleeps until lunchtime.

Landon was happy to get him 3 pounds of Sour Patch kids.

And he was just happy to show us his hilarious mustache.

But on a more serious note...

Happy Birthday to my sweet prince! I love you more than words could ever express. Your charm gives me great joy. Your intelligence makes me jealous. Your perfect hair makes me laugh. Your style is handsome and your athletic abilities are just outstanding.
Before his birthday dinner i took these. I can't even look at them without sobbing. Where is my sweet baby boy who was just rolling around the floor with his paci and sweet baby rolls.

He is such a treasure, and i have to say my favorite part of the day was when he asked if he could ride with me to dinner. Both brothers and me. It was such a precious moment to me. Even if only a karaoke session to them.

twelve years went by so fast. But i wouldn't trade them for anything. I love you sweet brother!

Happy Birthday!

And Even If;

Y'all. its been a while. Holy cow. I was talking with a friend this morning about life and this waiting game of a season that the Lord has me in right now. Waiting for graduation, waiting to know what the rest of my life is going to look like, waiting on contract updates and internship approvals, waiting on interviews, Creation studies to END (forever and ever amen), leases to run out, May to arrive and my next chapter to begin. The whole while I was sitting there discussing the frustration yet Hope that I had in this season I just kept replaying the lyrics to one of my favorite songs "Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul He's IN the waiting" He's there friends. He's with you. He's fighting for you, with you. Look next to you, allow yourself to sense His presence as He runs this race right beside you, pushing you on until the very end. Who am I to rush this season the Lord has purposed in my life for go...

We are Family.

All my brothers, sister and me.   A week after leaving my sweet family, they came to visit. Guess they missed me ;)   Their 24 hours here flew by but it was such a refresher and so nice after my first week back. And it makes the month before I see them again, not seem so crazy long.   My siblings and dad had never been to the campus, so we enjoyed touring around and even getting some fun filled hours at the Snowflex. The boys LOVED it. And I just loved them being here to do it with me for once. :)   It was the perfect family weekend.   Now back to those books..   Have a great week y'all! -Austyn

Plans for prosperity and hope..

This morning as Stephen and I listened to Bruno Mars' song "Marry you" and talked sweet talks of pure preciousness he drew my future family. As he drew me, blue as i'll ever be. and my sweet husband. and the bunk beds, treehouses and basements. the staircase leading to the sky and my huge house that really isnt needed.   he also drew two black kids. My Ethiopian babies! Oh how i dream of adopting from Ethiopia. And how precious that he drew them not even knowing i did want to adopt. Seriously, how precious are those little Ethiopian prince/ princess (s). Only two because "i dont want you to work too hard" Be still my heart.   -Austyn :)
