Coffee Dates

Let’s Have Coffee | Vol. 12

If we were having coffee, I would ask you how you’ve been. Coffee dates are most certainly for catching up with friends and having real heart to hearts. Tommy and I have started going on more coffee dates and they have been wonderful.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask how you are liking the seasons changing. I’d share that just recently (within the past few years) have really started to appreciate the fall. There’s just something about how the coolness in the air gives me so much motivation. But I would have to admit that this year I’m not feeling it quite as much as I have the past few years and I think that’s because I am so preoccupied with the HUGE life change that is coming our way this winter.

If we were having coffee, I would admit (like I have multiple other times on the blog) that I am just loving preparing for our precious baby boy. I’m loving putting together his nursery and baby registry. There’s nothing quite as fun as dreaming about what our lives are going to look like once he joins our family. I honestly still can’t believe it’s all really happening!

If we were having coffee, I might bring up the recent hurricanes or I might not. If you’re a long time follower of this blog you know I normally stay far away from mentioning current events. Honestly I just don’t feel like I ever have the right words to say so I tend to distance myself from the topics. I’m not sure if that’s really a good thing but sometimes the world just feels so overwhelming and I feel so small and insignificant to do anything. Anyone else feel this way too?

If we were having coffee, I’d let you know that life finally seems to have settled down for a bit. This year has been quite a whirlwind! We moved out of our first apartment in May and into my mom’s house for a couple of months while waiting for our new apartment to be ready. While living there we found out we we’re pregnant and I feel like I haven’t quite been able to get my footing. I’m someone who really loves to have routine and know what’s coming so this year has really caught me waaaay off guard. It’s been good for me but I’m also happy that I’m starting to feel a bit more settled in our new apartment and into pregnancy for at least the next few months. 😉

If we were having coffee, I’d ask how I could pray for you. I’d really love to know how I could so please either leave a comment or click on the contact form above and let me know what’s going on in your life. I know that no matter what we are going through, it’s always super nice to know others are praying for us so let me be that friend for you. 🙂


Every second Monday of every month (or whatever day I can manage during that week) I link up with Erin from erinsalmonwrites.com and we chat over coffee (or tea if that’s your thing). Come join us! We’d love to have you!
