Am I really 25?

By

Turning 25 has been a bigger deal to me then I thought I would be. I was kind of having a hard time with it until someone opened my eyes and helped me see all that I have accomplished in my 25 years. Here are a few of the things I thought of:
  • I am a college graduate
  • I am married to the man of my dreams
  • I am a mother, which is something I have dreamt about becoming my whole life and I am loving every minute of it!
  • I am not in debt
  • I have many hobbies that I love to do
  • I have an amazing family who I would do anything for
  • I have many friends that I love dearly
  • I think I can fairly say I am loved by many
  • I have a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
  • I have served in many callings
  • I have served many people
  • I have the dream child who makes me smile and laugh everyday
  • I am half way through my second pregnancy
  • I am blessed beyond measure!
I realized I could go on and on. Makes me think of the hymn "Count Your Many Blessings,"

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed.
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear.
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
[*And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.]

The Lord really has blessed me. I have a Wonderful life and I can honestly say I would not change one thing about it! I am grateful for all that I have been able to do in the past 25 years and I look forward to what the next 25 will bring.

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
