Here is my attempt to not let those little precious moments go unforgotten...

As I reflect back on my life so far I have realized that I'm really just an average girl, with an average life, living with an average disease. But what I do have is an AMAZING God who continues to blow me away with His love and His grace in my life. This is my attempt at putting into writing my journey so far.

Once again as I typed my long blog yesterday and I went to copy it to the clipboard because I needed to finish it later, it erased it all. very annoying and now you get the short version.

Had a great birthday and Mother's day. Ryan and Hannah made me breakfast in bed and a card with 2 coupons on it. One is for a whole weekend of sleeping in and the other was for a day without responsibilties. And they also got me a 1 hour prenatel massage gift certificate. So Memorial Day weekend i'll be cashing in on the sleeping in coupon and massage. i can't wait. Ryan and I are not celebrating my birthday until the first weekend of June. He is taking me on a secret get away. i am so excited, because I was hoping that we could have one more chance to get away just the 2 of us before Caleb comes along, because it will be awhile after that.

It's been kind of a stressful week for me, because there seems to be much bad drama happening around us with our friends and families. I feel selfish even complaining about how burdened I feel when I am not the one going thru the situations at least. The ironic thing is that I have been on this mountain top high for a few weeks with life. Thanks to Donna (my mentor) and God's faithfulness, I am finally getting to where I feel like not only a productive mother, but a productive wife, homemaker, and friend. I'm not sure I have ever felt this balanced before in my life. And it's not even like I am getting everything done that I want to get done all the time, I actually still have a long way to go. But I am not as hard on myself or running ahead of God which I used to like to do a lot. I am definitely seeing the correlation more and more between the time and the quality of time I spend with God and my peace and patience level with life.

Great job Matt, Mare and Trace on the bike ride. What an accomplishment! Many props to you! (am i too old to use that phrase? :) )

Has anyone else been watching Grey's Anatomy on sunday nights? The acting isn't the greatest, but I really like the story lines and Patrick Dempsy. I have been really into the music too. I went to ABC's website and they actually have a music guide to the show which i thought was pretty cool. I usually don't know enough about groups to plug anyone good and you all have probably already heard of them, but Tegan and Sara has some pretty good songs. i was listening to some clips on itunes. i like their sound...kind of an alternative folk sound. so there's my music input for the year! :)

Welp time to make the most of Hannah's nap time. Our friends Tracy and John and their little girl Siera are coming in tomorrow so it will be a good excuse to get the house in tip top shape. i'll end with a funny bumper sticker i saw last night on my way home. it said.."If God isn't a Bronco's fan, why are sunsets orange". i'm personally not a bronco's fan, but it made me chuckle.

Have a great weekend all!
