blessed....

i've been thinking a lot lately about how blessed i really am. i take so much for granted and i often forget to slow down and take the time to let all of the beauty in my life soak in. i'm so fortunate to have an amazing family, a wonderful husband, and two precious children who are no doubt my absolute pride and joy. i have a safe home to live in and even though we are quickly outgrowing it and of course it would be nice to have something bigger and better and that time will come, but for now i am at peace where we are because i know that it's the memories we have made and will continue to make in this home that matter the most. home is where your family is. i also have some great friends who i adore and cherish. our lives have taken us in different directions, but it's so amazing that our paths will forever be crossed and we will always remain close at heart. there are so many more ways in which i am so fortunate, but the ultimate blessing that makes everything else possible is that i am loved and treasured by god!



after that deep thought.....I can't have a post without pictures!

you are blessed! :) i'm glad we've stayed so close even though we live hours apart. i think about you often and miss you! i'm glad you updated again...you're on a roll.

what day would work for you to meet in warsaw? i'm thinking it would be fun to go to the lake...you might think differently and if so, we don't have to go there...we can do anything!

i'm not sure what your total is. i didn't keep the slips but i will let you know when i get them back. as for the books, i asked her and she said she sells them for the 3.95. i know, irritating. i'm thinking about becoming a consaultant. she said you only have to sell 100 a year (i'm sure i'd spend that on my own) to be a junior consaltant. i want to wait until the kit becomes half off though. so we'll see.

as for the beach, yes, whever is fine. we don't have too much on our calendar. i'm excited. :)
