Monday and For Now I Will Wait

Monday…Oh how Monday can wear you out. In reality Mondays are not my worst day by any means but with the snow and a busy weekend today is one of those days were I want to curl up and sleep in. But today is another day where the sun is shining and my patient is tried. I have been reading a lot about progress and the concept of “imperfect progress” I am a fairly patient person…well until recently (ok to be honest I am pretty patient with most people but tend to be less patient with myself) and currently my life is in limbo of waiting and waiting. We are still (yes still) looking for a house, I am waiting for a position at work to open up, I am waiting to hear back on a program I applied for and there are a few other I/We are waiting for. Last week I had this intense moment of being overwhelmed and frustration of feeling like I am falling behind in my life…I mean I am closes to 30 than 20. But when I sit back and look at my reaction I realize I am trying to rush God and change His plans for me. (AKA Not good) So for now I wait, take a deep breath and enjoy the moments that God is giving me now and rather than wait in anticipation of the next new thing I will cherish where I am and what I have, so that I enjoy the journey and the walk.

Busy Weekend!!

This weekend was jam packed. We went baby shower shopping for my little sis’ shower. Followed by the Family Birthday party for my two nieces, Then shortly after that party we (Dawn and I) hosted my niece’s friend sleepover. It was Hunger Games themed. Dawn and Gwyn worked on the cupcake (super cute) and I was in charge of the games. So I created a life size Hunger Games Board game…where each kid had to visit each of the districts and at each spot there was a task that was related to that district…turned out to be pretty awesome!

Happy Birthday Luke!

Today was Luke’s Party…it is wild to think he is already 1. The party was fun(lots of little ones) I think the best part of the whole day was the content feeling of not being the oldest ones there without kids. It becomes frustrating to see everyone around you having babies. To the point you feel like you will 50 and raising a toddler. But today there were a good deal of couples older than us (by a few years) with infants or toddles…it gives me hope that there is still plenty of time.

Happy Birthday to ME!

For my birthday this year we headed to the Spaghetti Warehouse for dinner and then the whole family went to watch a OSU Hockey Game. It was a pretty fun chill night! Thanks for all who came to celebrate me getting older J And was totally suprised when I got my Serger!!! I have a sneaky mom, who I love greatly!

 

 

My New Year Resolution!

I don’t normally do resolutions or at least not real ones (they are usually self-improvement or randomness) This year I want to get healthy, I mean we are not super bad we just have a wild schedule and that makes eating right and working out a challenge at times! I have some great ideas that I have found that I want to incorporate into our routine…more to come.
