Changed a Few Things~

I have changed the background on my blog and I plan on changing it with the season as long as keep blogging :-) As I sit here: listening to the sounds of my 5 year old son whine like an infant and hear the sounds of my girls argueing and as I type I have to fight off my kittens so I can touch the keys on the keyboard: I realize something..... I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!! I know that this is a strange time to realize it, but I do. As I was taking a shower and praying, it just struck me how blessed I really am. As I was praying that this is the month that the Lord will bless us again with another sweet baby, I realized that even if He doesn't, I am so blessed already. Yes, I long to grow another baby in my womb and then hold that precious child in my arms, and of course watch that child grow into hopefully a faithful servant of our Lord and heavenly Father. But I am already the moma to 4 wonderful, although difficult at time, children. My 5 year old son is rude to me at times and mean to his sisters, but I am so proud when we are at Wal Mart or another crowded place and he is so polite. He says please, thank you, and excuse me. I am so proud of him at those moments. I blush just thinking about it :-) Then theres my beloved....yes there are times I could strangle him ( not literally ;-) ) but he is so good to me. I am so proud of him and how he works to make it posible to have me home with our kids. In 10 years of marriage, I have never HAD to work. I did have 2 jobs ,only for a little though, and only because I wanted to do it. I was being rebelious and going against what my beloved said. So I wanted to be independant. I look back on those days and think how silly and childish I was. Praise the Lord for a hubby who has loved me no matter what. And then I look around at my home. It is paid for and all thanks to my mom. She sold her home along with our other home and we bought this place and moved in together. We pay that bills and we will always have a place to live without worrying that the bank woill take it away if my beloved lost his job. Thank you mother! I have had the best mom in the whole world ! I feel so blessed today to be sitting where I am. I just wanted to take a little time and say how blessed I am feeling today. I guess I will go for now, as I have alot to do before my beloved returns home! Blessings and be safe all!

Blessings~

2014 in Review

    I decided that a great place to start here on my blog since I haven't really blogged in so long is to recap our year. I would love to put lots of pictures in this post to be quite honest with you, I am posting from my new macbook air and I haven't the slightest clue how to post pictures  from here yet. So I'll probably come back with just a photo post :-)     In January of 2014, we re-listed our home after abruptly removing it from the market in early December 2013, with a new realtor. I honestly  had high hopes that our home would sell quickly. Again, God had other plans. Its still for sale as I type this and we are once again planning on moving to a different company after our contract ends, later this month. Im  sure some of you maybe thinking that perhaps this is a sign that it isn't God's will for us to move. And that may be the case. Time will only tell, but we certainly still feel that God wants us in the country and that he is preparing the perfect buy

Thoughts to Ponder~ a jumbled mess~

I've had many things on my mind lately and I have decided after much thought and prayer that this is a good place to share those things. I know I don't have a super popular blog that tons of people read, but the whole reason I set out to blog years ago was to keep memories and to hopefully inspire a few people along the way. Not to make money or have a ton of followers. I have not posted as frequently as I would have like to, but I really want to try to make a point to post atleast once a week from here on out. In real life, I have very few friends. I can credit the internet to my closest friend in real life and my other friends are all online, although I hope to meet some of them someday. I look at blogs and sometimes feel insecure in my own life. I think to myself, that my life isn't as "perfect" as some of those other ladies. I have struggles daily and live a very real life. My children are not cookie cutter kiddos lined up with fake smiles and perfectly styled

Update on life at our home :-)

I just realized that I haven't posted since our little Jonas was born nearly 8 weeks ago. My how time flies! Our life has been both wonderful and chaotic since then. So to update you all... Jonas was born March 1, 2013 at 10:48 am and he weighed 7 pounds and 8 ounces. He had a headfull of dark hair, tan skin and was such a sweet, calm baby from the start. I am so very blessed to have him be so calm especially after Jackson was quite a demmanding baby. He cried alot. But praise the Lord we got through it and he is a sweet, sweet little boy. My c-section went well and I have actually had one of the best recoverys ever. If it hadn't  been for just seeing Jonas and nursing him, I wouldn't have realized I had even gave birth. Much less by means of my 7th c-section! Jonas was toungue tied and we were so greatful to a new doctor in our area who is not only a wonderful ob/gyn, but specializes in breastfeeding issues and early infant care. So he came in on the next day after Jonas
