7 Things

My blog layout is being wacky today so sorry for all the close together, no spacing-ness.
#1  This is a big #1 and not like a big, long pee #1, but a so so awesome #1…we got videos of our boy yesterday from our agency and I’m not going to lie, I couldn’t play it cool for not one stinkin’ second before sobbing into a heap at our house.  And then sending them to Josh Kelley.  And then onto my BIL & SIL who speak Chinese to ask them to translate PLEASE!!!!  And then I watched them over and over and over again.  It’s the best/worst feeling.  Oh little man you are crazy loved.
#2  Today is Amon’s 4 year heart anniversary.  I know it sounds kinda of dumb to think about his surgery day, but this surgery saved his little life.  And he had such a hard recovery, so each year I mark the calendar because I always want to remember God’s goodness and mercy and faithfulness in his life and our family.  I want to remember those hard days and how near Jesus is.  And today I feel humbled and honored to get the chance to mother another little heart warrior.  Ahhhhh, just makes me feel all the feels.
#3  There are only 3 days left to order the crazy cool tees Sasquatch Design Society designed and are printing for our adoption.  This is such a great way to partner with us.  You get a cool tee and we get funds for our adoption.  Head over TO MY SHOP and make your purchase.  And share with your friends and family and strangers…anyone who will lend an ear 🙂
#4  Sunday is our big Noonday Collection show for our adoption.  I would love to see your face and hug your neck.  All are welcome.  If you cannot make the party you can still join us by placing an order in our ONLINE SHOW.  Just CLICK HERE and check it out.  Also I’ve been busy making my food game plan.  So far THESETHESE and THESE definitely made the cut.
#5  I hope everyone else’s kids wear safety head gear while playing in the sprinkler.
#6  Tomorrow is Josh Kelley’s 34th birthday.  Dates are so few and far between these days, but today we did snag lunch together to celebrate.  Marriage is hard you guys.  We can fight with the best of them and duke it out hard.  We’re just two flawed humans raising a bunch of other tiny flawed humans and singing Jesus to take the wheel. (insert Carrie Underwood who is way to pretty to be human.)  All the work though is definitely worth it when getting to do life with Josh Kelley is in the mix.  He makes life fun, humble and filled with his quiet, witty sense of humor.  I really like being his wife.
 
And #7  I’m not a giant reader, but when I do and it’s an amazing book I like to pass it along. Falling Free by Shannan Martin is insane you guys.  Like so so freakin good I can barely handle it.  I have underlined almost full pages.  It’s truth.  It’s conviction.  It’s personal and also were-all-in-this-together.  It’s funny as all get out.  It’s goodness everyone needs to read.  I seriously couldn’t recommend it enough.  Get this book asap.
Happy Wednesday!

  1. I just made a purchase in your Noonday store. Perfect birthday gift for my bestie! God bless you on your adoption journey. In 1999, we had a grandson born with serious heart issues and your pics of Amon bought back memories. Roe was around the same age, size. He is now 17! God is a Healer and is so faithful! Amon is so blessed to be yours!
