What a May!

By

The Taulmans are having one heck of a good month so far!

Rick co-signed with Collin on his home loan and it was approved! Collin gets to purchase the house he wants for his and Kyndal's future. I am so proud of him for taking this big step toward my daughter's happiness and well-being. And I love Rick so much for stepping out in faith for the future husband of his step-daughter. It takes an amazing man to do something like that, and I love him all the more today because of it. We are so blessed to have him leading our family.

And speaking of leading our family …. he has officially accepted his new job and will be making the transition there in a couple of weeks. We are hopeful that he will immediately get to start spending more time with us here and less time working there. Now to figure out where in the heck we are going to put his office in our house! It's a good problem to have.

We also found out yesterday that Eli and Brynne's bowling team did win 1st place in state in their division out of 16 teams. We are so incredibly proud of them! Eli also ended up in 5th place in singles out of just under 100 kids. It was such exciting news!

The rest of the month looks to be just as great! We are off school this whole month and I am currently purging closets and dresser drawers while the kids enjoy some much-deserved jammie time. The weather is beautiful and my garden is in and already flourishing. Collin will be closing on his house, Dawson will be finishing up his junior year of high school, and an icky situation is almost over. We are looking forward to summer living!!!

    Congratulations! It's amazing to me to see your children growing into awesome adults. Just another reason I love blogging.

    And congrats to your husband, on his new job.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...
