#4

Today I am thankful for our right to vote. I can't imagine living in society and having to obey someone's laws and rules that I didn't have a voice in choosing.

With that said (caution pregnant lady rant) I feel that the future of our country is dismal. People vote based on feelings and not facts and the sense of entitlement, what can I get for free, and I do what I want are ruling our elections. There's more to it than that, but the next generation (of which I am part) is so self centerd and worried about "making sure everything is fair" that it's bringing our country down.

Thankful November

Recently I’ve felt a strong feeling of gratitude and thankfulness to the Lord. My life is good and blessed and so many things that were worries and brought stress, anxiety, and strife, I'm now at peace with through God’s faithfulness and provision.

To kick off thankful November (because it’s an easy way to ease back into blogging- if I choose to do so) here’s a general list for what's been making me feel so blessed. (BTW, it totally annoys me when people say they are #blessed, it’s seems to have gotten commercialized and cliché, that’s not how I mean it, it’s just the best way to describe it)

  • Financial peace
  • Happy and healthy children
  • Healthy pregnancy
  • My husband
  • God’s presence in my daily life and activities
  • Discipline

I’ll be back to elaborate on these things and more for Thankful November.

Um hello! Yeah it's been awhile... again... this time I'm not going to try to keep up or post date things, even though my ocd may make that crazy, instead I'm just going to start again. (Ok I'll maybe add 1-2 posts from January or February, but we haven't really been up to a WHOLE lot so it won't be hard to update.)

My cousin over at Home Sweet Harney just started a blog... a DIY/home renovation/design blog. It's so great! She's really my husband's cousin, BUT the few times (which needs to change) I've hung out with her, we hit it off and I can easily tell we'd be great friends if we only got to see each other more often. Same style, same taste, she's definitely more talented than me on the craft and DIY stuff, but that's ok, cause I know I'm still pretty good too :) .Anyways she just inspired me to write a little tidbit update and maybe I can keep up with the blog thing afterall. Also... it doesn't hurt that we just got a new (to us) camera. It's a Canon dSLR and that's the most I could tell you, I have a lot to learn still.
