New Year... New Everything

I haven't been hiding, I swear.
I've been Living.
And as much as I like to write about life, I took a step back and just enjoyed it.
The good, the bad, the strange, the unknown. I really have been living in the moment.
Kind of like my second to last blog post! I've been discovering what God has on the horizon for me.

Don't get me wrong...
I've spent many hours being worried sick about whats to come next...
But sometimes when you really have no clue whats going on in your life half the time, you're able to throw your hands up, let go and flow.

The biggest news that I've already announced... I'M ENGAGED!
I love saying that. I never get sick of it.
I never get sick of looking over at David (my fiance) and thinking, "Oh my God. I can't believe he's going to be my husband. Thank you, God."
I never get sick of looking down at my left hand.
David catches me often and calls me out on it. At that point my 5-year-old self comes out and I'm all, "Stoooooooooooppp-aaaaaa! I like looking at iiiiiiiiiitttt-aaaa!"

In other news... A lot of people have suspected or heard through the grapevine that I have moved from Nashville and the truth is, yes I have.
I moved to Pennsylvania.
Not where I'm originally from in PA but about an hour southwest from Lancaster.
I feel great about it. Not once have I questioned or second guessed the decision.
The reasons are many!
1) I love Nashville, but I needed a change.
2) David fell in love with Pennsylvania when we went to visit last Christmas. Its surprisingly lovely to love a man who loved my home state and could see himself settling there someday.
3) As I'm growing in my relationship with God, He is changing my heart and my passions for the greater good of His plan.
4) No, that does not mean I am no longer a singer/songwriter. I will always be a singer/songwriter. Its a talent God gave me on purpose. I just think its meant to make a difference and not to become famously successful and all that THAT entails.
5) I'm still writing. Writing music, books (I have 3 ideas in the works right now that I am pumped about), and just writing to write. To get it out. That's what I'm good at. That's what I know.

So what am I pursuing now? New business ventures!
I started a new branch of a company with my Mom from a business that she has had for years and years.
Its called Jane's Daughters!
Yes, I stole my blog title.
We will eventually be branching out with different ideas, but for right now it is a custom handmade wedding decor shop!
You can find our creations on Etsy at www.etsy.com/shop/janes2daughters
It would be lovely to have your support on our facebook page as well at www.facebook.com/janesdaughters
I love creating no matter what facet of my imagination I'm tampering with!
I love the action of creating custom bridal bouquets for bride's-to-be. Especially since I've become one! AAAAAH!
If you ARE a bride-to-be or KNOW a bride-to-be, please share my shop and share my contact information: janesdaughters@gmail.com.

Not sure how many of you watched The Attempters DIY videos (www.youtube.com/theattemptersdiy), but they are coming back!
Ashlyne Huff Revelette and I filmed about 6 more home decor DIY videos that we can't wait to share with you!
Life has just been so exciting and unpredictable for all of us (that includes David since he shoots AND edits each vid) that we haven't had the time to really get them done for your viewing pleasure.
One of the videos is a tutorial of how to make my burlap roses!
That will be released soon and featured on my dear friend's blog, www.hottmessmommie.com. Check her out! She's a hoot and a half!

That's my life bundled up in a ball. I'm not sure how exciting my life will continue to read from here on out, but I enjoy writing and keeping anyone updated who cares to know!
I may not be on a tour bus traveling the country much these days, but I have a wonderful life. A life built on Christ and love.
That's all I personally need. And because of that, I get so much more.

I'm sure I could literally write a book right now and go on and on and on about my new house, living by my family again (it rocks), my dog, time change, wedding planning, my soon-to-be family, new friends, etc etc etc... But I will save them all up for later entries.

God bless and goodnight, Bloggers.
