Thoughts on a Monday...

Well obviously there is a lot going on in my life and at times it is a bit overwhelming. So here are some thoughts for a Monday!

·I have been very very sick for the past 6 days. The worse pain I have ever felt. Ulcer.I.hate.you!

·One good thing about being sick? I lost 3lbs!  Haha Now I am down a total of 14lbs. Yay!

·We bought my childhood home, how fun is that?

·It is so much work but so worth it.

·On that subject, Parker is the man! He has done so much work and has saved us thousands $$$$! Amazing job babe!

·I am amazed but not surprised how much my family has helped. There is always at least one family member over every time we are working on it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. <3

· Going to school while renovating is truly a perfect storm waiting to happen. Enough said.

·Although there has been a lot of stress, I feel so incredibly blessed!

·I feel like we are making the right choices in our lives. Things have been falling into place perfectly. Even if we don't understand it at the time.

·I am so grateful for the opportunity to live with my Dad and Tammie. I have learned so much from them. I am so thankful they let us stay for free. Because of that we were able to save and pay off debt! Yay

Well, one thing for sure about life is you never know where it is going to take you! Heavenly Father knows what he is doing. I am so grateful for that! Xoxo

Free to dream in a marriage!

Our four year wedding anniversary is coming up and because of that our marriage has been on my mind. I know marriage can be a personal topic but I also think it can be therapeutic to talk about marriage.  Parker and I have definitely had our ups and downs but one thing that has stayed constant and that is, we are constantly growing and working each day to make our marriage better.  We have been through a lot like almost too much to handle but somehow we always come out on top. I recently had an epiphany about the past five years we have been together. We got together when we were twenty years old and according to research that is the prime age to really find who you are. So we got married and Parker was focusing on himself and I was focusing on the marriage.  The next few years I saw Parker blossom he kept receiving raises, losing weight, and just all around being confident in himself and becoming better. Well I literally lost myself I was finding the weight Parker was lo...

Jags

As I have gone back to work full time I often wonder what I miss with Jagger during those 6-10 hour days. The days used to be our special time to learn, go on adventures and just spend time with one another. Now we try to cram those special moments at night and on the weekends. It's so difficult to be away from him but I am full of gratitude that our bond has stayed intact and that he is so well taken care of by my mom and Jeff.  I feel like I need to document the small things about Jagger because eventually those will be the big things as I look back on them. I love this quote and it pretty much sums up how I feel about my babe... “Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” Jagger is such a social butterfly and has no fear of being himself and showing himself to the world. How I admire this and hope he will keep this confidence through out his life. He smiles and says "Hi" to everyone he comes in contact with and truly i...

Passenger Seat

Autopilot.... My life feels like it is continuing to move and I am in the passenger seat praying that I don't get hit and hoping I can just coast. It's that checked out feeling and being aware of it but not knowing if you really want to be in the driver seat because you may end up just crashing. It's difficult knowing which one is better right now and maybe it's about recognizing that whether you're the passenger or the driver if you get in an accident you get hurt regardless.      It's interesting how tricky our brain can be about giving us a false sense of hope and to be quite honest, I am surprised my brain still seeks out hope. I heard once that "hope is a discipline" and I'm not sure I have that discipline right now. It's confusing and there's a lot of uncertainty right now in this unpredictable world, fear based motives and personal turmoil as humans. It makes sense why our world is the way it is we are all unsure and living in fear i...
