My photo
Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

my BFF




   Laura has been my buddy for 11 years.
She confides in me.
She builds me up.
She is hilarious. 
Sweet.
Beautiful.
Down to earth.
Humble-hearted.
Loyal.
Motivated.

....
In August
 we did a triathlon.
I watched my friend step up and sign in at 300 lbs.
Even when she was surrounded by lean athletes, with fancy bikes, and tri-suits.
I was scared to swim.
I hadn't prepared all that well.
She was a champ.
She helped me get through the swim.
(Half way through I panicked. I had to ask for help)
I helped her with the bike.
 We cried and talked our way through the race.
We finished together.
 Next August,
we're gonna do the race again.
She might beat me.
She's a real go getter.
She's already lost 40.
So by then she'll be a lean machine.
She's my inspiration.
Everyone needs a friend like my Laura.

    Oh I've missed you and your posts. I'm so glad to see you posting again. The post about talking the ferris wheel ride and talking to your children about sex and love touched me. And I loved all your reasons of why you enjoy kids when they are small. It goes so fast.

    I still secretly wish you could be my neighbor.

    Did you get my Christmas card last year? I hope you did.

    Thanks Elizabeth!! I've been enjoying yours too. I trying to carve out time to post but I'm trying to stay away from the computer as much as possible. Its so easy for me to sit here for 10,20, 45 minutes-sometimes even more. You're sweet about the neighbor thing, and yes I did get your card. I still have it. thanks for sending me one. talk to you soon,
    Kim
