My Happy Place

Since it is November I have been thinking a lot about what I am thankful for and well there is a LONG list. This year has been AMAZING. Of course there have been struggles but i am thankful for them also. I think I am most thankful for my husband. The life i live would not be possible without him. He made sure i had the wedding of my dreams, the honeymoon of my dreams, and he is making sure i have the career of my dreams. I love him for loving me so much! our marriage is wonderful...do we fight?..only every other day...do we laugh about it...always. we are both such hard headed people that we arent going to go a day without thinking we are right or better at something than the other. but i wouldnt change it for the world. my husband is my everything. he has definitely taught me the meaning of true happiness.
another thing on my list that i am thankful for is school. i know im crazy right? i have really having such a good time in dental hygiene school. the more i learn the more excited i get about becoming a dental hygienist. this past week we polished teeth for the first time and man do i really feel official! and the girls in my class just make it that much better!
My family also tops the list. I really dont see how people do it without a big family. Our life would be so boring! dont get me wrong...my family is a crazy dysfunctional mess...but i wouldnt have it any other way! i cant wait to have about 3 babies, my brother and sister in law have some and my sister and brother in law have another! i want my kids to grow up in a big family. have cousins to play with and know that their is nothing greater than family.
im loving my life. i am definitly in my "happy place" and hope that never changes.

Life is crazy...but GOOD crazy!

It's November! This year really has flown by. It seems like yesterday I was stressing about our wedding and finding out I got into school. Now, we are getting ready for Christmas! This year has been crazy and the best year of my life yet! School has not slowed down for one minute. I have to squeeze in time to spend with family...and friends...yeah i spend time with the ones at school and that is about it. Im loving every minute of it though. Yes i have been so stressed out i feel like crying and yes i have asked myself is this really for me but i know this is what i have wanted for a very long time and i wouldnt be here if it werent for God. I am so very blessed.
and i know i say this in a lot of my blogs but i dont say it as much as i should. i have an absolutley wonderful husband! he has wanted to kill me many times since i have been in school but he hasnt...yet :) he is so understanding and has really stepped up to support me and help me in any way he can. i know that i am a lucky girl to have a man by my side like him. in the mist of all the craziness around the house he obviously has really stepped it up at work to bc he recently got a promotion. im so proud of him.
this past weekend we celebrated Halloween at our church fall festival. we had a really big turn out! adam isnt fond of halloween...i think mainly bc of the money that goes into it for one day...costumes are freakin expensive it is ridiculous..and candy..$10 and more for a bag? crazy! anyways we were pirates with my sister and her family. we all had a booth together that we decorated as a pirate ship and had two games for the kids to play. we won first place in the booth contest. :) my sister and her family had the cutest pirate costumes! me and adam on the other hand...made our from stuff we had at home :) adam looked more like peter pan with a wig on but i think mine turned out pretty good considering! it was fun. but it wore us out! last night was halloween and since we didnt want to go buy more candy we left the house and went to my moms so we didnt have to deal with trick or treaters! haha yes i know we are horrible!  i told adam last night i am really going to have to so some soul searching when we decide to have kids bc sometimes i just dont feel like getting all into it and i really want to for my kids sake! ugh i guess this just means we arent ready...or atleast im not! lol
all in all life is still crazy. we are busy all the time and never seem to have a "lazy" day or time to just do nothing. but in my eyes that is a good life! we have goals and dreams we are accomplishing and setting up the life we want to live. and so far not strangling each other in the mist. life is good. we are blessed.
