January comes to an end...

Can you believe February is almost here? We have almost finished out the first month of 2009. This last month was full of ups and downs. Main Down: Brett's injury. Main up: My brother is getting married and have a baby! I am excited for February because it's Valentines Day and that means at least one day next month I don't have to cook. I have actually been looking forward to it for quite sometime. I have become very selfish with holidays now since starting a family. I take ownership of all of them and feel entitled to be served and given a break. As if my life is so awful or something that I need time away. Even though having three little kids is definitely pull-your- hair-out frustrating most days, they still are the biggest blessing that God has let me be a part of. Not only play a role, but one of the most instrumental roles in their lives, being their mother. I need to get out of the rut that my life is hard and I need a break all the time. My life is amazing, I am able to stay at home with my kids. God will give me the strength, patience, kindness and love for them I need each day.

Kelly I love reading your blog. I just know you are a spectacular mom. I think all those feelings creep up on us all, specially with three rug rats!!! Keep fighting the good fight. "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. Prov 31:30-31. This is YOU!

Catch a glimpse of our crazy family!!!

Thanks for stopping by. Wish we could share a cup of mocha together and just talk. It's hard when everyone decides to move away and start their only family after college. What's up with that? Me and Brett are working on buying our own island and then everyone we know and love could come live there and we would never be apart again. Until then, we will communicate through technology like the rest of the world. If you know Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven anyway and that's way better than the whole island plan because those cost a lot of money and Brett isn't good at saving it. I am always trying to get him to save money and not spend it but he always blows it on frivolous things. (if you know Brett, you know that's a total joke; the man could be in the middle of the desert parched and not spring for a glass of water)
