426: HOME

It is 7:10pm.

WOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH.

I love you all. I love you all. I love you all.

And that is all I am going to say about the election outcome.

OKAY, on to the good news for today <3

WE HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, I can not tell you how relieved I am right now.

So much of a weight has been lifted, and I am so very thankful.

I really can't even put into words how thankful I am.

I am also super touched over the amount of support and love that came from my Facebook announcement today. I seriously cried some happy tears.

And to continue the good news, I think that I might actually be prepared for The Les Amis Craft fair.

Today I ordered business cards, t-shirts from our new website to wear, and a card reader for my phone. I will also have 100 copies of Eli The Crawfish in The Night That The Lights Went Out in Natchitoches on hand. I am just hoping that is enough. Do I sound crazy for thinking it isn't enough???? I hope it is, cause I am pretty much broke until the 19th lol.

Lord help me...lol.

I also now have a spot secured at The Christmas Festival, which I will definitely need more books for. But one step at a time. I am trying not to get too overwhelmed.

Tomorrow we go and start cleaning up the new place and kind of moving in some of the random stuff I have been storing in my cars...lol.

We will need a fridge and oven if anyone knows of anyone trying to get rid of one.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and positive vibes. I am extremely thankful for all of you.

Oh my geeze...is it really only 7:47? Because it feels like it is midnight.

Well, I'm going to get ready for bed anyways.

Good night everyone.

Please continue to pray for our world. Pray for each other. Pray for the US. Pray for my family. Pray for me. And always always pray for my sweet Elijah. <3

All morning I walked through the yard, worried because I hadn't seen a heart in a while.

Worried that we were losing touch or that I wasn't doing enough.

I worry about that a lot you know.

It is so hard to be this far apart.

But then when Gabriel ran past that book of sunflowers at the library, 

I just had to move closer.

And there it was...

the book with colorful sunflowers was right next to the book, "The Kindness Diaries."

Not only did the sunflowers and kindness make think of you right way,

"The Kindness Diaries" is a book I bought while pregnant with you.

It is a book I read while you were just an itty bitty baby.

Sometimes I lose hope,

but then there you are to brighten my day.

I can not express how amazing it is to be your mom

and how my heart still breaks daily that I am not holding you in my arms.

I love you so so much.

Thank you for being you Elijah.
