When life gives you lemons...

When things don't quite turn out the way you want them to, or an opportunity slips through your fingers, it can cause you to re-evaluate who you are, what you are doing, and where you're headed in life. Your confidence is checked, your pride is shot, your hopes dashed.

You have to remember that you are where you are for a reason. Ultimately, He has a plan for you, and His ways are not the ways of man- which is why many times we can't understand why we're in the situations we're in. Having faith and knowing that things happen for a reason and that it all will work out in the end will help pull you through hard times.

Being thankful for your faith in God, the love of your family, and their unending support is most important. Although circumstances may change, these things always remain the same.

Nesting!

Thank goodness for my nesting instincts kicking in lately! I'm on a roll with organizing and cleaning! My in-laws will be visiting this upcoming week, so my hard work is paying off! Our bedroom looks gorgeous (so proud of the space we freed up in our closet!) and now on to the spare "bedroom"! I've been going crazy with bins (they always go on sale this time of year!) in all shapes and sizes, now I just need to find space to put the bins! Made one trip to Goodwill to donate yesterday, and will possibly need to run there once more. Got our carpets cleaned yesterday morning and now the living room carpet looks like new again!

P.S. So excited for the in-laws to visit! Acey can't wait to play w/ his nana and poppi! Not to mention- Ace and I can't wait to have our much anticipated date night @ Dave & Busters!

Just wondering...

Why is it that when you have a child, all your alone time in the bathroom disappears?? Seriously! It's like a luxury just to shower for 20 minutes without a little face popping through the bathroom door!

And, I only have 1! What happens when you have 2, or 3 kids?? =)
