Stillness

I love falling snow. I love the seemingly endless uncountable flakes, like stars. I love the quiet of it. There is a no more peaceful precipitation than snowfall. 


Junior year of High School, my little group of best friends and I went on a retreat with our church to the most beautiful cluster of cabins in the mountains I've ever seen. We would wake up early to breakfast and worship, talk all day, stay up late and repeat. And every day we were there, we were met by these huge quiet flakes falling. It's one of my favorite memories of us all together, before college in different states, and life in general would pluck us away from each other. I remember one night in particular, I left the laughter and plinking of an out of tune piano in a common room and went outside. I heard the heavy wooden door close and taper out all the noise and I was left alone there, with the falling snow.


I like to feel quiet and small once in a while.


I hope you have a beautiful day.
I hope you have a chance to sip your favorite coffee, and find meaning in poetry you never found before, and hold a warm hand to yours.


I wish you all the best,
Grace Elizabeth.

A Confession

So amid the hurry and flurry and hustle and bustle of logo designing, house cleaning, bill paying, working and trying to stay sane, we made a big decision: we want a baby. :D It's a little scary to say that out loud. I've had this huge fear my whole life that for some reason I won't be able to have kids, so I don't want to jinx us further by talking about it. But here I am, talking about it. I want a little person with his eyes and my hair, his fingers and my elbow creases. We want a little thing to love and take care of. It's huge and scary, I realize. And I'm not promising I won't regret saying this later if we find out we can't even have kids, or if we can and its completely overwhelming. But we've got a good strong thing going, and a good strong God. 

I'm sure either way we'll be just fine <3 

Also, this song has been stuck on repeat in my head all day:

All the best, 

you lovely people,

Grace Elizabeth.
