My Family Rocks
I've been feeling an ensy bit depressed and kind of feeling-sorry-for-myself a little bit these last couple of weeks. Life just isn't "working" for me I guess you could say. Money is tight, Ben and I have been arguing a little more than normal (uh, duh, probably because money's tight), I've been feeling really tired, and just kind of feeling negative about the world.
This morning when I turned on the radio as I was driving to work, I head a woman calling in to the radio station and request a song to be played. The woman explained that she was going through chemotherapy and radiation because she has cancer. She wanted the song played to feel some encouragement, and she just had such a great attitude about it.
God really has a way of making me feel like my problems are the size of ants compared to what other people are facing...I needed that today. I need that always.
I decided to look at things more positively today, just for today...it worked. I feel so blessed to have my rockin' little family. I love Ben and Sam so much and I know that no matter what happens, they love me back. I think I'm going to look at things in a positive light tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that...and, you get my point right?!
Thank you God for blessing me today, and always.

25 Random Things
I was tagged on facebook to do this little "25 random things" about me...I am just transferring it over because I am having a bit of trouble trying to think of anything else to write about.
Here we go...
1. I love being a mommy to Samantha...I can't imagine ever loving someone as much as I love her, but I'll try when we have more kids.
2. My husband is the best father and partner! He is an amazing person and I love him so much!
3. I ran 21 miles once (almost made it to the marathon but it was held on the day we got back from our honeymoon) I'm trying again...this year, gulp!
4. I think that breastfeeding is one of the most amazing things ever, but I was so thrilled to give it up after 8 months!
5. I watch The Hills on a regular basis... I know it's completely disgusting but it's a guilty pleasure that I'm just not ready to give up.
6. I graduated from college last summer and now am virtually unemployed, and LOVE it.
7. I detest KinderCare.
8. I love the way working out makes me feel but I don't do it nearly enough.
9. I am somewhat of a hypochondriac.
10. I would like to tell anyone who will listen that God is amazing and having a relationship with Jesus Christ will change you forever. He is the way, the truth, and the life.
11. I am so not a feminist.
12. I was married before. Although I do not particularly believe in divorce, I am so thankful to be out of that relationship and with someone who loves and cares for me.
13. Sometimes I wish that I could be a little bit more myself around people.
14. I am sort of in the process of writing a book and would love to be published someday.
15. It annoys me when people text too much, just pick up the phone people :)
16. I have the most amazing best friend, she's like a sister. (you know who you are girl!)
17. I love my sister Tina because she is an amazing young woman, a wonderful mother, and a true friend.
18. I love my sister Liz because she isn't afraid to be herself, she's open-minded, and also a true friend
19. I am almost certain that Ben and I will adopt a baby overseas someday.
20. I am grateful that my husband has a job but I hate the job he has.
21. Even though I am not a Democrat, I am very optimistic about our new president.
22. My dog is the worst behaved dog on the planet, but I still love him.
23. We are all blessed to live in this country and have the rights and freedoms that we do.
24. My house is almost never clean.
25. I owe the bank LOTS of money in student loans and I have no intention of paying them anytime in the near future.
