Saturday morning

Waking up today, thinking of what is to come in the new year, 2013! I can't wait to see what happens throughout this year, I am hoping to start on my Masters of Science in Nursing...crossing my fingers all goes well and I get in. Also I find myself remeniscing of all that has happened throughout 2012. I started the year off marrying the love of my life, my one true love, my hubby Aaron. He has made me realize the true meaning of life and the important things in life to focus on. He grounds me when my dreamy self goes way beyond, in a good way. He always wants me to have everything I want, and he does usually end up finding a way to give that to me. He is my reality check tho and a well needed one. I tend to have a dreamers mind, heart and soul and sometimes I fly away and need to be brought back before I let myself down. Moving on, first came marriage and second, well hubby and I have attempted twice to have a baby, both times ended in miscarriage sadly. Although these both were difficult to face and thankfully we had eachother and the support and love of our families to get us through, nothing seems too difficult when you have the love and mercy of our Savior Jesus Christ. He is our all in all. We know that this is his plan and he will not give us anything that we can not handle. Praise him daily for he loves us and always will! 2012 also brought my hubby and I both new jobs. My hubby loves his new job and mine ,well I found out the grass is not greener on the other side and am acutally fortuante to be able to get back to the job I had beforehand. As 2012 comes to an end I am realizing how blessed we are to have such a wonderful family, church, friends and life in general. God has blessed us and continues to do so daily as we continue to love him with all we are. Looking forward to 2013 and all that is to come! My main New Year's resolution is to grow closer to my Savior, what is yours?
Enjoy the black and white celebration I am having today!

Hello all!
How was your weekend? I blinked and mine was over! Saturday, I spent a full day of Christmas shopping in St. Louis with my mom, my mom-in-law,and my sister-in law. We had a long day of fun and laughter, but it left me tired on Sunday. Next weekend my mom is having a cookie bake and some crafting to do, which I found some pin-spiration on pinterest.

Monday Blues

So why is it that the weekends can zoom by so fast, but yet the week seems to drag on and on??? I love my weekends and want them to stick around a little longer so that I can enjoy the work week a little more, what about changing the work week to four days with a three day weekend? I truly feel this would benefit all of America! I tend to be more productive on the weekends anyways, at least for what I consider important work. All I want to do today is curl up in this nook and read a good book while sipping my eggnogg latte~

Wow time is slipping right by me, I can not CAN NOT believe its going to be September in a few days, Summer was a blur. I do not know about you all but life has been crazy lately. I started a new job working for just one Doctor, a lot different than the hospital atmosphere let me tell ya! All in all I love it, weekends, holidays off, 8-5- five days a week, it's not a nurses norm, but I can get used to seeing my hubbs and eating a REAL dinner throughout the week :) I have been extremely overwhelmed, stressed out and moody since I started....I have this thing about me where I overthink everything and make it out to be a lot worse off than it actually will be. God pops in and tells me to just relax and reminds me that HE is in control and will not let me endure anything that I can not handle.....thankfully I am able to sit back and hear him. My comfort is found in him and through him, along with my wonderful family! I got to spend time just hanging out and talking with my fam this past Sunday night and I sooo needed that!!! As August checks out and September checks in I am going to try to get a few crafts done, save up money to put toward the kitchen fund, and celebrate my Hubby's B-day. Whats on your September list???
