Simple Pleasures

Things are starting to get back to normal. Rachel and I are back from Arkansas and although it was a good trip to see close friends and family members, I know that we are both so glad to be home. I missed my husband during this trip more than I ever have before and I am not quite sure why. I mean, that certainly sounds rude doesn't it? I always miss him but this time was different. I guess it could have been because I was grieving the loss of my uncle or because Rachel is getting more and more active and hard to deal with by myself. Not sure but I made a point to tell him that I missed him and that I love him. Then today I was thinking....I wonder how often my husband actually feels DEEPLY loved by me. I devote majority of my time to our daughter and when I don't, I am cleaning or on the computer or working. I told him last night that it is easier to know what a good thing you have when you are away from them...I guess it brings the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" even closer to home. My husband is amazing! He's smart, funny, loving, a great father, a godly man, a wonderful teacher, and the list goes on and on and on!!! I just brag about my little girl on here constantly and realized that I haven't ever talked about the love of my life! We have been married for 3 1/2 years and I think I love him more everyday!

All right, I realize that most of you reading this are probably about to gag so I will change the subject! =) Had to go to the doctor today for Rachel again!!! Dr. Hull (who we ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!) is getting some good money from the insurance company! I am glad that we don't have a limit to the number of visits. Rachel has pink eye! YIPPEE!!! So, I had to leave work early and now have to put antibiotic drops in her eye twice a day. I just had to laugh.....if it isn't one thing, it's another! She has started doing this new face thing...it's HILARIOUS!!! She likes to squish up her face and make her eyes really little and then open her eyes really big. The funny part of it is that when she opens her eyes really big, she does this funny little thing with her mouth....here's a picture from the bathtub!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
