Just enjoying life and being content which is something that i'm not usually so that has been a nice change. Last week Ryan diagnosed me as an extreme thinker. When things are good, i'm floating on cloud 9, but when they are bad it's the worst ever. i've actually come a long way in this area, but his words are still truth. So being content is a huge step for me. I'm sure it won't last long, but i'll enjoy it while it comes. It's the first time in a very long time that i have balance in all areas of my life. Physically i feel great and have been working out, which also helps in the emotional department. Spiritually, God and I have been on this really cool journey where i'm really enjoying him as a friend and we have little conversations in my mind thru out the day. thats been really uplifting. Ryan and I are doing great, and the kids and the house routine are coming together. ahhh i sigh in peacefulness just thinking about it.

i'm looking forward to this weekend. our semi-annual girl's trip is on once again. we have yet to go anywhere else but cincinnati, but none of us really have money to do anything else and just getting away and being girls for a day or 2 is all we need. plus we have become spoiled with our belgium waffle maker at the hotel we stay at. actually we did change that up. this hotel not only has the waffle maker, but a pool and outdoor. look out! :)

ok question for you all...do you think that God is ok with wanting to retire and travel a lot? i've heard different christian speakers talk about how we should be working our whole lives. that's what God called us to do. that really depresses if that's so. just thought i'd see what you all think. reading about the Ireland plans and watching Amazing race has been putting me in the mood for a great trip, but alas that season is not quite here yet for us. but before we know it we'll be able to get up and go again.

i think there's more to say, but my fingers don't want to type anymore. have a great weekend all. i know i will!
