The Sweet Things...

I had no idea so many people read my blog... and now I am so embarassed on how much I complained in my last post! I was a rough day... in fact, a rough week with this dumb splint, but I am doin good! Its hard with a gimp arm and a baby, but i have a lot of great people to help me. So, since i made a list of all the bad things in the past year, my mom had a great idea to list the good things in my life:
  • Jesus. He rocks. Thanks to a good friend of corey's, i met the two greatest people of my life: Corey and Jesus. I struggle every day with how to keep God first with all the crazies with life with a baby, but I try.
  • Somehow, i totally lucked out in the husband department. Im pretty sure he hung the moon, and if he didnt he would find a way to if he knew i wanted it that way. He is absolutely my best friend and we make the best team ever! I found a man who makes me smile every day; how could i ever ask for more?! :)
  • 8.5 months ago, my little world got a whole lot bigger. Little brigzy makes my day. every day. I completely under estimated to amazing-ness a baby brings to your life. It gave corey a different smile. He smiles a certain way just for brigz and its my favorite! My only complaint is my days are never long enough with him. I am so blessed to be a stay at home mamma. I would eat canned beans for every meal to get to stay home with that little stinker though!!
  • Family. There is nothing like being surrounded by tons of people with so much love for each other, random similarities, and too much talking to get a single word in! well thats how our family is anyway! Sundays are my favorite. We all go to my mom and dads and eat good food and pray for good weather so we can spend the day in the sun outside. I wish i could bottle up the feeling in the air when we are all together. Its comfy, warm, fun, and it just feels right. I love being around coreys family too and seeing the similarities of him and brigz to every one else. You cant beat family time and love.
  • unanswered prayers. My biggest fault is being a super planner. If things would have gone the way i wanted them to, life would be boring! God knows what he is doing by leaving me out of the driver seat! Why he thinks i am worthy of all my blessings, i will never know.
  • friends. besides my mom and sister i have 4 best girl friends who keep me sane. They are all so different, yet so perfect for me. They are the best.
  • nutella and amazonmom.com. If you dont know about either, you should.
  • my job. working with family, making my own schedule, and having 20 gay male hair dressers make you laugh all day, who could ask for a better job!? i only work 1-2 days a week, but it is great. soooo glad i didnt end up being a dentist. I would have gone crazy!
thats just to list a few of my awesome life. Each day, i get better at figuring out how to use just my right hand and how to ask for help. Both are equally hard for me! two weeks left in this awful splint, then 8-10 in a short cast. I think the short cast will be better... i pray it will be!!!
