It's HOODIE Time!!!

It's officially the time of the year that all Floridians look forward to: Hoodie Time!!!

Ok, not everyone calls it that, but it's my blog. ;)

Last night it reached the 40's outside!! This is so exciting!

There's something so precious, so sweet about the Fall season.

I don't know exactly what happens, but suddenly I feel creative, inspired, and excited!

I love taking walks without sweating.

I love staying in and drinking coffees and ciders, while eating something warm.

I love the colors of fall.

I love wearing scarves and warm socks!

You get the point....I LOVE FALL!!!

The past three weeks have been.....ummmm....interesting.

I started a new job, which I LOVE!

But honestly, the first two weeks of that new job were extremely difficult for me.

I found myself holding in ALOT of emotion during work hours, and once I arrived home, the floodgates opened!

I began having anxiety attacks: heart racing, 200 lbs of pressure on my chest, and lots of tears.

I felt like I was in a deep, deep hole and couldn't see the end in sight.

And then the truth set me free.

The truth that I NEED to grieve properly. The truth that I NEED to let it out- tears, screaming, sobbing, lauging....anything!

The truth that it's OK to still be crying over my Daddy.

And boy, do I feel like a new woman!!

No more anxiety, no more stress, no more holding in the grief.

The Lord is good and His beautiful mercy endures forever!!

PS Here's the latest pic of me and Josh....I so LOVE him!
