Dear blog, I love you then I hate you!

So, it's true.. I have a love/hate relationship with my blog. Why?????? Here are a few reasons.....

1. I think I'm really a bad writer.

2. I just spent a whole hour trying to get a very cute black and white damask background up and obviously it's not there. I can't figure out gadgets, widgets or any of the blog language. Oh, and I can't get my previously blogs all the same font color!!!! FOR THE LOVE!!!!!!!

3. I HATE being a copycat, so I'm trying to not duplicate any of my friend's blog material:)

4. What am I trying to say again in a blog anyway??????????????????

So, those are just a few reasons why i'm breaking out in hives right now as I type this. However, I'm going to push through and just express myself through my keys... I'm hoping this will be therapeutic,, I could use some free therapy:)

Daddy on the orange, me on the pink and Micah on the harmonica!!!
This is how we spent our Monday night:)

Crazy how life detours from "our" plans????

Don't Run

 Read chapter 2 this morning and this stuck out to me. " When it becomes apparent your dreams are not coming true and you feel you've been stripped of everything, this is no time to run. It's no time to take things into your own hands. It's definitely not the time to turn your back on God. This is when you need God more than ever before. Don't run, lean on Him! 

It's nothing I have'nt heard before, but reading it today was like the 1st time I've ever heard it!

 So, today I'm giving up my running shoes. 

Day 3

                                        
    He said " hey honey, does this remind you of anyone?" I laughed, but only a little:)  Only those who know me well will understand this picture:)))

5??!?!?!? what!!!??!?

Hard to believe this sweet baby is going to be 5 years old in a few weeks.  A mother's love is simply beyond words. This love can only be from God above. I feel sooo blessed to be her mommy and watching her grow into a beautiful fun passionate little lady is a dream.   

 God definitely went over and above when he gave me Micah.  xox

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2010

Saying goodbye to 2010 and hello New Year! I love the fresh start a new year brings. Yes, I am one of those people who always set resolutions and yes, I am one of those that break at least one of them by midnight on Jan 1st. Today, it was my resolution of no diet coke and chocolate. :( As I type this, Ryan is rolling his eyes and silently screaming "I told you so":) I'll hop back on the bandwagon tomorrow......after my last piece of chocolate:))) jk:)

Some other resolutions for this year are.....

1. To be faithful with this project

2. Eat healthier,, specifically no more diet soda and cut waaaay back on processed sugar

3. Consistent Workout Regiment

4. Complete love dare

5.  Forgive more

6. Affirm my husband (its on here cause I suck at it)

These are just a few of many, I"ll post more later.. ohh and get to bed earlier is #7. Night night. xox
