Our life's purpose- "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down ad when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Counting My Blessings at Thanksgiving

As a woman, a mom, a wife and a friend; I realize I have a lot to be thankful for. I am blessed and love my life more than words can describe.

Years ago I couldn't see my life the way it is now, and that I am very thankful for. From where I was in my life when I met Kenny (a little bit over 5 years ago) I feel I have been "rescued". I strongly believe God sent Kenny to me to be my saving grace. I was in a dark place where I felt alone, depressed, stressed, and angry all day, every day. Kenny accepted everything I came with open arms and a loving heart. I often think about how accepting he was to me and during different situations I have been in over the past 5 years, it has made me change the way I have viewed things.

God has blessed me (and my family) beyond measure. We have the picture-perfect life style with the cute brick house, nice car, new truck, one daughter, one son, me being a SAHM and Kenny being a PM for Intuit. But beyond looks of our family, Kenny and I have a firm and solid marriage built on love, trust, support, and we are faithful in church. Kenny is my best friend, love of my life, and my rock. He is a fantastic and loving father, husband and friend. This year I am thankful for the non-materialistic things I have, which is my husband, kids, my sister and her finance', my parents and my in-laws.

Unorganized Chaos Can't Get More Hectic...

The past week or so for me has been off and I can not figure out why. I am now a stay at home Mom-and love it, but am ridiculously behind on everything. I am behind on e-mail, blogging, my boutique on Etsy and the list just goes on and on. I seemed to have more things under control when I was working part-time. I can add a few positives to the list that "Santa" has done his shopping, we have the kids teacher's Christmas' gifts, and a few other family members. Does that make it any better though?

We will see how long it takes me to get it going again. Just adjusting to a new schedule is what I am telling my self.
