In my very first blog post, I wrote, I keep searching for the islands in the sea to bring life to these hours. To harken back to this idea, I will periodically post examples of current islands and sea in my life. The islands are the inspirations, the joys, the overwhelming blessings of light that restores my soul. The sea represents the brokenness of this world that I am currently wrestling with. It is not the negative; it is that which pulls deep and heavy on my heart.

finding out a dear friend is expecting
celebrating ten months of baby boy at the zoo this weekend
dreaming about our five year anniversary trip in May
discussing August's first birthday (and refusing to look on Pinterest)
editing 2013 pictures for our family album
pumped about trying a new bread recipe soon
weary of pumping but determined to keep going
