Interesting quote from a friend

"If you try and try to get something or someone and fail then you can go though life knowing you tried..if you give up you automatically fail and you will never know if the thing or person you want could have been yours."

We've all been there before, made me ponder some thoughts. In general, going through life you have to TRY for everything you want. IF you don't, you are left with always wondering what if.....

I guess in some ways I played my life safe, yet again I am satisfied and happy in every aspect, so who's to say I didn't take certain risks. I did. Maybe there is a reason I didn't go down that road...take that turn, head that direction. Maybe it was fate, whatever it is/was it's all in His hands.

Pondering thoughts

I have to say, even though I am currently struggling with weight loss and it bugging the hell out of me I can't help but be absolutely 100% happy, regardless of what the scale might be punching me in the face with.
Jayden is the light of my life, Dj is an amazing husband & daddy and I can't believe I have made it to my happily ever after.
There are so many things to look forward to this year. Let me tell you what it is that keeps me smiling.
Tess is coming into town this weekend

Roseanna is coming into town next weekend

Brieanna & the girls the following weekend

Julianna will possible be home by the end of the month until November!

Next month is our FIRST wedding anniversary and Jayden will be 6mo. I think this calls for a photo op don't you? =)

Between Sept or Oct Traditional Apple Hill trip (where we got married) and now Jayden gets to go! =)

October is his FIRST Halloween! I think I might dress him up as a little chipmunk since I called him my chunk a munk when I first laid eyes on him. LOL. Or maybe Winnie the Pooh....not sure all I know is I can't buy a costume until the month if cause this boy is growing so fast!

Noevember is his FIRST Thanksgiving...my parents 30 year wedding anniversary!

December his FIRST Christmas! We might take a trip to Tahoe with Dj's parents and brother and stay in a Cabin for a few nights. That would be fun...FIRST time in the snow!

First New Years Eve? LOL ya right he'll be asleep. =)

Valentine's Day?....eh for him....but Dj proposed on Valentine's Day 6 yrs ago =)

THEN HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!!! It'll go that fast!! I can't believe how fast it's already gone. And with all of the above we are hoping to relocate to Elk Grove before Christmas!!!!!! =)

Ok listing all of that made me feel better again. =)

Gotta count your blessings sometimes and even though "It's pouring" with the stress of some items....it definitely does NOT outweigh my blessings!!!
