When I'm an old lady...

This is what I'm going to be like!

Sweet Surrender!

So I've come to decide that a valuble part of living is surrendering! Not trying to control every little detail in my life but rather taking each event as it comes and finding the beauty and happiness in it!
Naturally we need things in our life that will ground us and keep us focused, but these are already provided! For me, my grounding influences are the gospel, my family, and love for others! It seems silly to add anymore things on top of these; for that's when I start to get stressed and unhappy!
So there it is! Life might not always be happy, but it is always beautiful! And I have every intention of reveling in that beauty!

SKYDIVING!!!!

The Wait took FOREVER AND A DAY!!!! so here we are... WAITING!!!!
ANTICIPATION!!!!!
That's ME!!!
Safe on the ground!!!
TADA!!!!

And that's pretty much how things went...

Austin TEXAS!!!

I'm officially a nanny down here in Austin! These are my babies! Two year old Caleb and 8 year old Eilianna! I love them buckets! They keep my very busy, but it's all worth it!
If you have any parenting advice I'd be glad to take it! Goodness knows I could use the help!
