Random Thoughts

Here is a great sign that Justin and I love. It is random and I wasn't sure how I would ever work this into a blog, but today is all about random things so I figured it was now or never.

Today, I would like to just throw out some thoughts that I have had on my mind for the past couple of days. This will be pretty random, but will hopefully allow some of you to see inside my head and more importantly get some of these things out of mine.

Random thought #1

I recently have been working on a project for our family. I started this before we had even moved back up here to Virginia. A couple of people tried to convince me not to do it, saying things like "it would be a waste of my time and not worth the effort". I being the probably the most stubborn person you may ever meet was not admitting defeat. I would say, " I just need one more week, give me one more week". That was about 5 weeks ago. On Saturday, I admitted defeat. I realized that maybe they were right and I was wasting my time. In the long run it didn't really matter if it got done my way or not, but dang it I wanted it my way. Justin was playing racket ball with a friend of his that morning and sadly when he got home I unloaded all of my frustration, anger, and pure heartache out on him. Bless his heart, he just let me cry all day as he held me and wiped the tears from my face. I felt like a had failed and like I had let my family down, he loved me anyway!!! I really never imagined that I would be lucky enough to have a husband like Justin, but man I am glad that my Heavenly Father felt like I some how was worthy enough to be his wife.

I am still not completely over feeling defeated but I hope that it will pass!!!

Thanks to Aunt Terri I have spent the past 2 days reading a women's blog that I have never meet. http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ This blog helped me on Saturday to get my mind off of my own sorrows. It is a blog, or story as Justin and I refer to it, about a women who seemed to be living the perfect life until August of 2008 she was involved in a plane crash and received saver burns over 80% of her body. She is a very elegant writer who loves her family very much. She has been an inspiration to me and I am grateful for her in sites on life before and after her crash. She loves her husband and you can feel their love through this blog. I am grateful that I have been able to spend hours reading about her and encourage everyone to take the time too read it as well.

Random thought #3

I love my home in Virginia. Justin and I have spent most of our weekend hanging out here at home. We love to be home!!! Lately we have been spending our evening on the floor in the living room playing games, making delicious food in our kitchen, and sleeping in and snuggling in bed on our Sunday morning (We don't have church until 1) and love it!!

Random thought #4

I was able to talk to my mom on the phone yesterday. We chatted for almost a hour. After we hung up Justin came in and asked me what we talked about. I honestly didn't really remember specific things, we just chatted. I love my mom and love our Sunday chats. I missed Dad last night but love him and his chats too.

Thanks for reading about my thoughts and feelings. Now, I have Labor Day shopping to get ready for.
