you know when you live out of suitcases for a really long time? well we've been doing that for nearly a month now. i was unsure how this experience would go, being with a 2 year old and a nine monther. it has gone waaaaay better then expected. thankyou, Lord. truly. nevertheless, i am quite excited and anxious to get to our new home in charlotte. we are moving into a 4 bedroom house! which is quite an upgrade for us. we were excited about the extra space in itself, but we recently found out that the owners of the home we are renting have renovated the whole thing!! new kitchen counters, cabinets and tile. they redid the bathroom tile, shower, and tub. AND we are getting all new carpet! i feel so blessed. i don't even care a whole lot about what it all looks like, i'm just so excited that it's all clean and new.
we're going to get there in the middle of next week. once we're settled i'm planning on posting some pictures here. i just know the Lord is taking care of us. and even giving us extra. i am grateful.
night night.
love.

the beginning
hi.
i'm meredith. i wanted to start a blog for my family, my friends, and myself. my little family is in the middle of a rather big transition, and i think i will truly value from chronicling (?) ha! some of that here. i am married to my great man, jake. we have a two year old little boy, finley and a baby girl, audrey, who is 9 months. jake and i met in portland, oregon in 2006 and married in 2008. we had our babies there. we've been in a bit of a "funk" for a little while. seeking what is next for us, where the Lord would have us go, how He would use us, how to offer our lives to Him, how to live a better story. we've had a rather unique opportunity offered to us, and long story short, we are moving to charlotte, north carolina. as in the north carolina on the OPPOSITE coast of the continent. jake will be working with his big brother managing an all inclusive wedding business. it is a huge move. huge. move. we are nervous, curious, excited, and "in it". we are choosing to emerge ourselves fully and live abundantly. hoping to learn what there is to learn, grow, be obedient, and just love.
we will miss a lot about the northwest (a lot of my dear family is there). at the same time, we feel confident this is the next step for us. thanks for reading. i know i don't use capital letters.... i just feel like it goes against my personality. hope it doesn't annoy you. ha!
oh, the reason it's called "baby hands" is because i love them! and i feel like this new phase of life is so new and i'm discovering things like a baby would.... hoping to do it well.
love.
