The last few months around here

Ohh my goodness there is so much to catch up on....where does a gal begin!
 
Lets go back to November. It was a bit hectic with school finals, dog surgery & recovery,  hosting Thanksgiving in our home, traveling  to Colorado to visit a soul sister and also the celebration of our one year wedding anniversary but it was all so very worth it. Don't ask me how I got through it! Well actually go ahead and ask...oh you would like to really know? Well I will tell you my secret... Ive learned while going to school which can be very stressful at times while trying to have a fulfilling life with satisfying my family, creative, and just enjoying "life"needs I have come to rely on this lil tidbit...are you ready?
Its to do one thing at a time. YES that's it! And let me tell you it sounds so simple but do you really put it into practice?
It involves letting go and trusting, which is something Ive been working on over the last few years and let me tell you ...it's tough but it really works!
So next time you are feelin the pressures of the todo's just remember to take a deep breath, focus on whats in front of you and Trust that everything will come in its right time and let it go!
 Here are a few juicy tidbits from the last two months...
 
 





The hubs and I just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary this Thanksgiving week...It was a day (and a week) I will never forget. Since the moment we met my life has been one blessing after another. I am deeply honored to be given this life and to be able to walk it with this man beside me, grateful for the family I have had and for the new additions I have gained this year and sooooo dang excited for the future ones to boot! Happy post Thanksgiving everyone...♥
