Spring Apron Toolbelts are going up throughout the week and weekend in the Shop. These tend to go quickly, so don't miss out!And... wow. Brace yourself for this. My Messy, Thrilling Life, this blog I've dutifully posted to and worked on for almost four years, will be shutting down on Tuesday, April 7. I'm telling you now, way in advance, so you can copy down favorite recipes, quotes, or other tidbits you may have found pleasurable and want to keep. I'm also telling you now so you can post a comment to this post with your name and email address to get on the upcoming Freeman House Newsletter, which will begin going out via email in May. Consider it a concise version of the blog... still with photos and recipes and news... but minus the ramblings and things of a personal nature that we're used to finding here.
Why? Why will this blog be gone on April 7th? Well, it's simple, really. I'm ready to move on. April 8th I turn thirty. 30. I'm ready to kick off a new decade afresh. I'm ready to funnel my creativity into new projects. I'm ready to reroute the time I devote to this to other ventures. Yeah, I guess I'm simply ready to leave this behind.
So. There you have it. I'm leaving the comments open on this post until the end, so feel free to rail or complain or give me your reasons why I shouldn't quit the blogging forum. Only be sure to leave your information so I can keep you advised on what's going on with the house, garden, kitchen and other various upcoming events and happenings at Freeman House.
It's been a wild ride, hasn't it? Thank you for joining me. It's been such a pleasure to take you along on my messy, thrilling life.... -Brin

Wow Brin, I don't know what to say. I haven't commented as you have more than enough to go around but know that you are an inspiration, and I hope that you get all the good blessings in life. You've helped me so much in the last two years. When i'm down, which is quite a lot, you help to strengthen me, by your faith, your coolness, your love, your kindness. What an inspiration! I've had my own struggles with economy this year. Struggles with separation from loved ones, heartbreak in relationships. I've emmersed myself in my saviour and fell in love with him these last two weeks. You've contributed to that with your faithfullness. There are people listening, and you will receive rewards in heaven, I know that. I hope that you recieve the rewards in life also, and applaude you for always trekking a new road for your destiny. Maybe you will reconsider and send a few lines our way sometime. At any rate, i will always have a cold glass of ice tea waiting for you. Heidi Sanders

Someone once told me that when you are tested the most in life, when you are going through struggle, that is when God is strengthening you. I've recently went through the hardest time of my life and it's when I finally realized that I can't make my life better, God has to that I emerged out of the fog and into God's reality for my life. I can't change my will just as I can't change anyone else's will, as much as I've tried. Only one could save me from death and give me eternal life and I gave my life up to him that bore the cross for me, the only one who could ever change my life to what it should be, God's will,not my own. He is with you, always.

please add me to your list for newsletters, I enjoyed your blog.
Well Brin I haven't been by to visit you in a while. How funny to come by just after posting on my own blog that I will be staying around. See, January 1st, the beginning of a New Year, I decided I was going to go private with my blog and return to a smaller, simplier existance(in blogland that is), but after receiving multitudes of emails with such kind words that I took dearly into my heart and pondered for two months I decided to leave my doors open and remain here for everyone.
I would like to say as an almost daily visitor here to "Freeman House" (that is how I had you named in my 'cottage companions' on my blog) I will miss you terribly if you shut down. You are an incredible encourager and lifter of the spirit, you are so relateable and like a dear friend. I know your life is twirling right now, but we are all here wanting to twirl with you. I do hope you will reconcider and stay. Maybe only post once a week or even a once a month and we would still be more than happy rather than never being able to see you again. Thank you so much for your transparency and for sharing your deep heart with us. I will be sad not to be able to stop by and say something nice to you. You are such a diamond, a jewel in His hand. I love you sweetie.
Here is my email: ksseacottage@gmail.com
and my blog is" seacottage@blogspot.com
One more thing Brin...
I don't know if you realize it, but YOU are like FAMOUS, you know...like a MOVIE STAR here in blogland. You really are. Everyone in blogland knows who you are. And you will be missed like that.
Kind of like we are all missing Heath Ledger...we will miss you terribly!

I discovered your blog only about two months ago when I was first laid off as well. I have loved your blog and am of the same mind as you regarding life, love, work and God. I am just a bit older and I want you to know 40 is so much better than 30! I am now 47 and no matter what life throws my way I am so much better prepared for it! I live on 5 acres in a 1920 Farm house, with my wonderful husband, that is 10 years younger than me. He is the man of my dreams! After two that were not picked by God for me. This one was! Although I don't attend a building (church) I am spiritual and see God's hand in my life daily. You will survive and life will turn-I see strength in you and a willingness to not give up no matter how adverse! Please send me the newsletter I will want to hear how you are.
Oh yes, you will need my email! It is: Cathybolgerfl@yahoo.com. Big Hug!

I've never commented but I've read your blog for well over a year. (Not sure why I kept putting off commenting...) I've loved getting to see all of the fun, creative things you've made. Your pictures of food always makes me hungry and your photography skills don't hurt anything! :) I LOVE all of the pictures of your house. It looks like so much fun. (And lots of work too!) I can't wait to see it when it's "ready for business".
I'll miss your blog. (Can't wait to get your first newsletter though!!)
I think you're cool. ;) Thanks for the fun blog! :)

Bless you, Brin. Your blog has been so enjoyable, I look forward to the newsletter, because I know God has great things ahead for you, and I can't wait to read about them!
Lynn
I have found such a sense of renewal in areas of my life because of your blog. I'd love to follow you along even if it's monthly. God bless.
I must say, I read you post the day you wrote it but I guess put off commenting because i wanted to believe it wasn't true. I even cried when I found out! I guess I was having an emotional day or something (lol) but i feel like I know you...like I'm losing a good good friend. Of course...like everyone has said...I understand your reasons for shutting down the blog and you do need to focus on new things and what God has for you since that is what he is putting on your heart. I have so looked forward to reading your blog everyday - even if I didn't comment all the time. It made me feel as if my thoughts and feelings are normal and that there was someone else my age that was always aspiring to be more and more and live an abundant life. That being said, I will very much look foward to your newsletter. Please add me to your list. Do you mind if I email you my email address? I don't love the idea of posting it here in public.:) Anyway, I better to get to jotting down some of my fav recipes on here that I've tried. I guess I always thought I could jump online and find them here. I will have to resolve that I can't visit here anymore...but will keep praying for you and wishing you the best...looking forward to updates via newsletter! Thanks so much for being so open and vulnerable and honest and transparent in sharing bits of your life with us on here. It has definitely made me think about how I can do more and be more as a child of Him. hugs!
I will be sad to see you close your blog, but I understand new beginnings. Would love to receive your newsletter and, maybe, someday, actually visit Freeman House. Best wishes, Happy Birthday and a toast to new beginnings !!

Brin,
I have been waiting to post my email address until I had the right words to say to you (but I am running out of time and I don't want to miss out on your newsletters)!
I found your blog a few months ago and feel blessed to have found you. I appreciate everything you have shared with us. You've given me a perspective I had lost over the years and you've made me step back and appreciate the simple things in my life. I now try to make more time for life's simple pleasures.
I wish you all the best. And may your 30's bring you much joy and happiness.
Warm regards,

I would also love to receive your newsletter! However, I am not comfortable posting my email here. Could you get it from blogger somehow?
sad to hear that you'll be shutting down your blog but happy for the opportunity to receive your newsletter. I've only found your blog a short time ago but it is by far my favorite one to visit. I haven't yet had time to go back and read it all but will try to before it shut down as I have found so much of it inspiring. I feel God speaking to me so much through your words. I wish you the best on whatever projects you take on in the future and may each day bring you joy amid the trials. Keep faith that He'll keep providing...it might not always be comfortable but it will be good (in the end). ***BIG HUGS*** Take care and God bless!

You have been God's servant...faithful to write this..faithful to be humble..faithful to be real..faithful to be open...and I know He will greatly reward you for every single heart and life you've touched...and inspired to change..to keep on keeping on...
I really wish you wouldn't end the blog...it so saddens me to think about it not being there ...but at the same time..I do wish you the best of joy and peace in new pursuits..and thank you once again...that for a time..you shared pieces of your heart and life with us..and helped us not feel so isolated in our own walk through this earth..

Dear Brin,
I have enjoyed your blog so much, yet never written to offer a word of encouragement, a thank you, or an "amen sister!" Here I am now, to finally say God bless you and remember:
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
This verse has seen me through some hard times. I would love to receive your newsletter!

"Brin, I would love to pass on your Freeman House info and auction however I would have to charge you a fee to get the publicity to save your precious piece of shit house. However if you really wanted to save it GET A JOB!!!!
I also don't expect a reply since you expect us to save you but don't have the time to respond to us... hmmmm?"
Nasty Blog - Wish you hadn't deleted your comment! It made me laugh. I appreciate both your candor and sarcasm. If you aren't my ex-husband, please consider dropping by the bakery for dessert and a drink - on me.

Change or perish!! A rip off from another quote but so true. I hate change but know that acceptance of change opens doors. The universe delivers. Brin you are a gifted lady.
Your blog has been a quiet peaceful stop in my everyday chaos. Godspeed!!

Brin,
Well this is my first response EVER to any blog. I am definitely a blog stalker, but I've learned so much from blogs - yours especially! Please add me to you email newsletter.
As a fellow Texan, I love your stories. We live in Austin, but my husband is from Henderson and my daughter graduated from college in Nacogdoches. We often travel through that area and will stop next time at your lovely bakery!
Thanks!

I've only just discovered your blog and have been so inspired and encouraged byt your journey and story (though that may surprise you?!)
I'd love to be on your email list - janelockrey(at)gmail(dot)com

Brin,
Your blog is such a delight! I am still hoping that you reconsider, but if not, I do want to be added to the mailing list.
Thanks,
Kate
I still don't have the words to tell you what your blog has meant this past year... as a single girl turning 30 this year, too, it has meant the world to know that someone else was real enough to share the struggles of wanting God's direction, His best, but not getting answers, not knowing where to go or what to do next. I will miss your blog greatly, but am so excited to see what the Lord is providing for you as the next step! Thank you so much. Praying for you! Oh, and definitely put me on the newsletter list. ;-)
I just found your blog and now you'll be leaving.
I've read many, if not all your posts. I don't know if it's because I hail from a long line of Texans or what, but I feel more than a little bit of my spirit in yours.
Rising up to soar, whether it be after a job loss or the realities of life with a medically fragile child with special needs, is a blessing you pray, plead, and dream of with a determination not many hearts can muster.
Add us to your email list, please.
