oh heavens, my room is in a dreadful state. my carpet is modge-podged together, my husband is falling apart at the seams, and my laundry is long-overdue for a cleaning.

what a blissfully fun weekend. new best friends at fika, seeing my beautiful rebeca and such an entertaining party, a little labyrinth for movie night, then seeing fall colors and beautiful shoreline at indiana dunes, putting up a tent and cooking over the fire, eating too much and laughing all night. i do love my life.


"S
ing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the LORD.
"Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
"Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband- the LORD Almighty is his name- the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.

Isaiah 54:1-5
singleness is a blessing, and i will enjoy it and live it to the fullest.
