Today I wanted to inspire myself to complete something from The List. If you have a goal or goals, having them written down helps you achieve them. Hopefully this can turn into something I post regularly.

His Timing: 7/16/2012
I don't know where to begin with this post. I have been going through a trial, one that God is testing me with. I feel like I am growing stronger in my faith and realizing what I want more and more. Without going into too much detail I am surprised by Him and the direction he has taken my life. I am sure many of you can say that you didn't imagine yourself as you are you at whatever age or place you are in your life. For me this has been the struggle. I never thought I would be my age and almost angry at God. How selfish of me!? It's not up to me, I'm on His time, He has a plan for my life and I must trust His path for me. Each morning I repeat this scripture to myself as I thank God for another day and plea with him for what my heart desires.
Jeremiah 29:11
I can't believe it's taken my ALL summer to write a post. It's a testament to how unfocused I have been and slacking off on things that make me happy. I hope to continue to write out my feelings and thoughts through my blog as well as my journal. For me it's therapeutic and cleansing. A lot of time has spent reading 50 Shades of Grey, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Bible. I recommend all three to you! I've also spent time being a new mommy to our latest addition: Birdie Bell, she is a teacup morkie (Maltese mommy + Yorkie daddy = morkie)
My new goal is to count my blessings and be grateful for the wonderful things I do have in my life and not to waste my energy on the things I don't have. I trust in Him and know that my ultimate dream of being called Mom will happen. If you are struggling with something I hope God wraps his love around you and comforts you. Remember that hardships are trials from God to make us stronger.

It's Ok...
that I have spent my first days of summer vacation relaxing
to request gifts/money for your birthday (June 19th ;)
to spend the day in your pajamas
to feel a slight bit of jealousy when your friends announce their pregnancies on facebook
to ask for forgiveness when you feel jealous (see above)
to love when your husband is lazy with you (in bed)
to only worry think about today
to be very excited for what God has planned for you
to have setbacks and remain strong in your faith knowing your struggle is making you stronger
to pin a zillion things that you swear you will create, yet haven't
to talk to your dogs as if they are your best friends
to let go of material things you don't use or need
I hope you are all having a wonderful week! We are going to Dallas this weekend and I can't wait to get away. Blake's Mom is hosting a party for her sister and they just moved into a beautiful new home with a pool, so I am super excited! In other news... We are getting a puppy! She is a morkie, maltese mom, yorkie dad, and it's the same mom as our Maltese Bella Bell. Our new little girl is to be named Birdie Bell. It's my early birthday present. I am so excited to meet her and have another frup addition to our family!
This is from a book by Linda Dillow.

Fill in the Blank Friday: 5/25/2012

1) The best surprise ever would be, a positive pregnancy test!
2) Spending time with my Grandmother Dicey is my most favorite memory. In particular, going through her high school yearbooks, wedding albums, telegrams from my Granddaddy.
3) The hardest, but most worthwhile thing I've ever done was putting my faith in His timing for everything!
4) The best part of my day is in the morning when I wake up to Blake and he talks to the frups in a goofy puppy voice!
5) Something I like that most people don't is not eating meat.
6) Something I am willing to fight for is my marriage, my family, and my faith.
7) Something you might not know about me is I do not like traveling long distances and planes terrify me.
Today is wonderful because it is the last Friday of the year and next week we only have TWO days of school! Today is also my youngest brother & sisters birthday; Happy cake & candle day James & Caroline!

Terrific Tuesday: 5/22/2012
A look back at a few events that have been occupying my time. Above is a picture of me & my Dad at Cibolo Creek's first farmhouse! Our little town has it's very own Farmer's Market every Saturday and at the Market you can tour the old mill, first hand dug water well, and this gorgeous house. In addition to all that you can also hike the trails! It was a family affair and I was as usual impressed with my Father's knowledge.
Blake amusing himself with all the "junk" I buy for the house. Typical Saturday.
You are never too old for face painting! Our cute little town also opened a water front walk all the way around the river. The grand opening was super fun and the new walkway is awesome!
My Mom, my inspiration.
My creative Father put this up in hopes of "a clean sweep" for Spurs victory. Even though I am a Mavericks fan you must admit this is funny/creative!
Blake has been working very hard on the yard & it shows!
