so often in life it seems as though people, while struggling and stressing and worrying and dreading on the inside, still try to keep an exterior composure. people put on smiles when that's really the last thing they want to do. people go about their days telling others they're fine when really there's something inside just killing them. i know, i do it all the time.
thankfully, though, my home sweet home has been the exact opposite of this lately. while 205 is undergoing some MAJOR work on the outside (and let's be honest, looks a little bit like a condemnable tornado-effected crack house... see below) the inside could not be healthier and warmer and more full of love and fun and blessings beyond belief.
this whole year after my crazy, 12-hour days of madness, i get to come home each night to 8 other girls who love the lord, love fun and love me. and i can't in words express the joy this has plopped down into my life!
i love these girls. i love living life with them. i love random 5-person-spooning sessions... turned photobooth photo shoots. i love the beautiful witnesses they are. i love that i come home to them baking prettyyyy dang often. i just love the way we love and teach and encourage each other.
205 n frances. wouldn't really call it a house right now. but it's certainly home to me :)
Nicole. I. Love. You.
