Jake and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary on Tuesday. This is the only picture I took. We didn't do anything too special- went to dinner, enjoyed a snow cone and enjoyed the sweet memories from our wedding 3 years ago.
I just spent way too much time on this site (my new favorite) which led me to many blogs with other great pictures which then gave me way too many fun ideas and pictures of what I would love our house to look like, which then left me feeling overwhelmed and stressed out with way too many decisions to make.
That was a long sentence, but that's what my last hour consisted of. I guess I need to stop complaining that I don't have enough time for things when I spend my time like that.
Now that blogger isn't down I can post May's 12of12
To have a desire for; to yearn for; to crave for.
What do you long for today? I tried not to think about it because I am aware that it makes me sound very desperate, unhappy and ungrateful. But sometimes my heart longs for so many things.
I long to be a new mother at this time of my life. Even knowing the challenges and uncertainty ahead, I would gladly change it for where I am at right now.
I long for days when I can work on something that I know has more meaning then what I am doing now. I am painfully aware of my age and where I am at and where I wish I was.
What are you longing for today?
As I was unpacking a vase to put some tulips from the yard in, I thought "I should put this back and not use it- I will just have to pack it back up for when we move soon." It fit perfectly in it's box and the bubble wrap was around each little bottle.
Then, I remembered something my brother reminded me of when I spoke to him yesterday "life is short."
And, I unpacked my cute vase to put these beauties in. Because, life is short and it adds happiness to my day.
I know it's been more than a week since the list time I shared a miracle of the week. And I am aware that it's the beginning of a week, but I have two miracles to share.
1. I passed my insurance property and casualty test. I am just waiting for the state of Utah to approve my license, and I will start helping Jake in his office.
2. We are under contract on our house!! The closing date is May 26, so we are hoping it really happens then. It will be great to have a few weeks to paint, etc before we have to be out of our current place. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it happens that way.
Week 2: color
Isn't it amazing how much color and joy children can add to your life? I was able to see 6 of them this weekend that always brighten my soul.
I am so grateful to so many mothers in my life. I am grateful for my beautiful mother and everything she has taught me. I am so grateful to consider her a best friend. I am grateful for my mother-in-law who raised my amazing husband and for her sweet kindness.
I am grateful for my amazing sisters and sisters-in-law who show me what motherhood is all about and do it with style. I am thankful for the sweet older sisters at the temple who are still mothers to so many, including me.
here's a great tribute to mothers. Happy Mother's Day.
I am so proud of my wonderful husband. He graduated today and we were able to celebrate with some wonderful people.
Here are some of them:
