about me

I’m Faith and welcome to my cozy little corner!  I’m so glad you decided to tag along with me on this journey. Grab a cup of coffee (or Diet Coke–I won’t judge) and let me tell you just a little about myself.

Me and The Beau

I’m a newlywed, recent homeowner (of a fixer-upper.  A BIG TIME fixer upper), major foodie and an only child of a single parent. Although the immediate family is small, I come from a large extended family (Mom is one of 8 ) who love as hard as they laugh loud.  In October of 2009, I married my best friend and teammate (affectionately known around here as The Beau) and we reside in the beautiful Bluegrass of Central Kentucky.

I’m trying  my best to figure out this whole I-have-a-full-time-job-yet-love-being-a-wife thing. Yes, I know there are no kiddos yet, but I still feel like this wife (and one day Mom) thing is something I was meant to be.  Can’t wait to have kiddos and the Beau and I are working on getting healthier so we can give our kids our best–trying to eat healthier, be more active and pray for God to miraculously cure us of our foodie-ness (just kidding–we know we need to be more disciplined.  But….if you’re listening, God…).   I love being creative, finding new DIY projects, eating locally and (am learning all about) home renovations! Mom has Rheumatoid Arthritis and was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Vascultis (which is really rare), so I’m also trying to figure out how best to support her and be her advocate from afar all the while trying to get her closer to us in Kentucky.

So that’s the short version.  You can check out the extended version here (but I’d get a refill first!)  I hope you enjoyed your coffee (or coke) and will come back often to visit.  From house updates, to new recipes; our get healthy plan to the latest way to be more sustainable, you’ll find a little of everything around here.

Best,

Thanks for joining me!

Romans 12:1-2(The Message)~Place Your Life Before God

^1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
