Goodness
Its been quite a few months since I've blogged anything! Life has been, well, life. The pregnancy has been going well, and now we only have 4 weeks left! Thats just crazy to me, but we are so excited and honestly can't wait! I am certainly ready to not be pregnant and definitely ready to just get the whole labor thing done and over with. Baby Helaina Joy will be here before we all know it, and life will be a little bit more interesting and sweet. ;)
What a year...
Every year is full of new challenges and new blessings. 2010 was definitely no exception! Here's just a quick run down of how our year went.
- Our Jeep died...8( RIP Serenity
- My sister got married!
- Steve and I got jobs at KRTV, working in a field that we actually went to school for! Not necessarily the field we want to work for, but definitely a step in the right direction.
- We were finally able to move into our own apartment!
- We were blessed with a Ford LTD Crown Victoria!
- In one week we found out that KRTV was cutting my hours from 29 to 12 a week, and that we're pregnant!!!
- Its a girl!!!! We're due May 13th! 8) Can't wait!
Changes
Ah the one constant thing in life. Change is always happening, every day, all around us and we must change to. Change is generally hard for us to deal with, mostly because its not what we wanted. But its what life is about, nothing stays the same. Except God. He is always faithful and always there for us. And I am thankful that I can rely on him to always be the same. He is my constant when the world around me is changing at a pace that I'm not ok with.
Big change is happening in our lives once again and like the old saying goes, when God closes one door he opens another (or a window, I've heard both). More on that at a later date though. ;)
Music makes me whole
Going with my amazing husbands blog theme, about all the things that make him complete, awesome blog, check it out! Music is a big part of who I am. Its my passion, its my connection to God, its my connection to my heart and soul. There is very little in this world that inspires me more.
Here with me
When life starts to overwhelm me, I have to turn to God and just sing. Plumb is my favorite Christian artist! This is one of the many songs that I love to sing with when I'm overwhelmed.
In my head I have dreams
I have visions of many thing
Questions... longings in my mind
Pictures fill my head
I feel so lost instead but
Lost doesn't seem so bad
When you are here
It doesn't mean anything
Without you here with me
And I can try to justify
But I still need you here with me
In my heart I had hope
Built on dreams I'll never know
Answers to love left behind
Visions filled my head
I felt so trapped instead but
Trapped doesn't seem so bad
When you were here
It doesn't mean anything
Without you here with me
And I can try to justify
But I still need you here with me
I can't do anything without you
You give me strength to do anything
I can't be everything I try to
You saved me from the everything
I couldn't be
You saved me
It doesn't mean anything
Without you here with me
And I can try to justify
But I still need you here with me
It doesn't mean anything
Without you here with me
'cause after all is said and done
I still need you here with me
Need you here with me
I need you here with me
I have a dream
Ok I have a lot of dreams...
Owning a house, making every part of it ours. Okay I'm a bit obsessed with this one. I love searching Google images and making folders on my computer of designs and examples of what I want. For example: I am in LOVE with European front doors.
Like this yellow one.
But not just the door, every element around it!
And like this blue door.
Basically, I want to live in Europe, but than again I want a yard, an amazing beautiful Montana yard! So why not mix my Montana with other amazing things! I'm also in love with basically anything Moroccan and somethings Bohemian, and our house will be amazing and different and fun!
Anyway, the actually reason I started this blog... I have a dream. I want to home school our kids! A LOT! And every time I read Me Ra Koh's blog about her children and her adventures in home schooling, it stokes the flame. Steve and I talk about it a lot. And we talk about all the lessons we want to do and the field trips we'd take them on, and it just keeps stoking the flame. Its become something I'm strongly passionate about. Its not for everyone though.
And of course that dream is attached to the dream of having kids, which its just not time. Which of course is attached to the dream of having our own home, which its just not time. But I hope that one day they are all more than just dreams...
