We are learning a new rhythm of life, Adam and I. He accepted a job almost a month ago and has been on a consistent work schedule for three weeks now. And I like routine. I like knowing when I can make plans and I really don’t mind packing him lunches (and including cute notes like my Mama always did when I was in school). And I really like making my body into a huge “x” that takes up the entire bed after he leaves (I love you, hunny!). But this transition still has us tired, and we’ve spent most of the past weeknights counting down the hours until bedtime.
And each, in turn, his people know;
One kills the weeds their hearts produce,
The other makes their graces grow.
Though like dead trees awhile they seem,
Yet having life within their root,
The welcome spring’s reviving beam
Draws forth their blossoms, leaves, and fruit.
But if the tree indeed be dead,
It feels no change, though spring return,
Its leafless naked, barren head,
Proclaims it only fit to burn.
Dear Lord, afford our souls a spring,
Thou know’st our winter has been long;
Shine forth, and warm our hearts to sing,
And thy rich grace shall be our song.
princess phara is definitely more of adam’s kitty than mine. but i guess that week of him away, must’ve meant bonding time for her and me~ because she was allll over instagram this week.
after my boudoir shoot on tuesday, i stopped into subway (i’ve gone almost a year without ordering fast food [mcdonalds, wendy’s, burger king]), and HOLLA~ sub of the day was my favorite. free cookie? yes, please.
*(Instagram is a free app for iPhones that features various filters that are easy-to-use and make posting to Twitter, Facebook, and ha, my blog, easy-peasy! You can follow me @ bgilsonburnett)
Sweet baby Charlie will be making his blog debut this week~ and oh.my.land, he is precious. And he has a beautiful, miracle of a birth story.
I’m feeling a bubble bath and The Lucky One (I made had Adam watch the trailer twice tonight in two different versions~ to get us ready for a date night this spring). I wish I were fancy enough to say that I’d cork open some bubbly and eat something delicate like chocolate covered strawberries, but to be honest, Adam and I already devoured half a pan of brownies I made less than 24 hours ago and a glass of ice-cold water is gonna have to suffice. 🙂 Goodnight, all!
