If you guys don’t know, my sister Shelby has been officially accepted into the Baylor Truett Seminary! That’s kind of old news but it’s still awesome. So since she found out she’s been apartment hunting and job hunting. Last Monday I had to work, but the rest of the fam drove down to Waco for an appointment to look at a pretty great apartment. However, when they got there, the landlord told her it had been leased the day before and just forgot to tell her. Talk about upsetting. But God had something better! That same day Shelby found a perfect and beautiful apartment with creaky old floors and huge windows and a cute kitchen. Just for her. That Friday she and I drove down to sign her lease. It was a pretty good day.

PS. Sorry, if you follow me on Instagram you probably already saw these. Still a good post though. 🙂

Three hours in the car with your sister/best friend never feels like three hours. Lots of Coldplay, Anberlin and worship music with long talks and snacks make for a pretty awesome road trip. She signed her lease like a big kid, we toured it (I’m dead because it’s so cute), then wrapped up our day at Common Grounds with delicious coffee. Also it’s where we saw the Civil Wars a few years back. Ahhh… memories. 🙂

Be sure to keep up with Shel on her blog at ihavethislife.com where she’ll post pictures of her new place when she moves in! Eeeeek, right?!

Sometimes you just need to remind yourself how good it is to be home. To have a home and a family.

So to remind myself of this I’ve been taking more pictures inside our house. My favorite places are our backyard and my room. Even though Shel and I share this room and most of our stuff is in storage and clothes cover almost every surface it’s still a place to come home to and call mine. As long as my bed is all snuggly and comfortable I feel at home. 🙂

How do you feel at home? What do you like to do to relax? Netflix, bed, my puppy and some chocolate make me feel better. Always.
