I love my life. :)

Everything is going right.  I love that.  :)  Michael and I are healthy and happy.  We have a large, beautiful home that we plan to raise two beautiful babies in.  We have two sweet puppies who make us laugh and keep us smiling, they add a great deal to our lives.  We have jobs that are understanding of our family-centered lifestyle and who don't mind giving us time off of work for appointments, family functions, and the arrival of our little one.  We have a perfect baby on the way, weighing in at approximately 3 pounds and 15 inches long.  She still has 9.5 weeks to bake, but she's already getting big and healthy.  We are dearly loved by friends and family, who are there to support us through good times and bad.  We have two nice cars that run well and keep our family moving.  Everything is going so very well!  Life is good.  :)

We have had several ups and downs since we got married (seemingly more downs than ups).  But things have finally come around and we are at a really good place right now.  Things have been up and continue to look up in our future.  I'm so incredibly thankful for that.  :)  There's an old hymn that say, "Count your blessings, name them one by one.  Count your blessings, see what God hath done."  Today I'm taking in the moment and counting my many blessings.  Michael and I have come to realize that there will inevitably always be good times and bad times.  We have become quite skilled at managing and getting by and through the bad times.  But we have also come to realize that the good times need remembered and recognized, in the moment, not just when they're gone.  So today I'm counting my blessings.  Today I'm thankful for the good times.  Today I'm drinking in just how perfect life is right now.  :)
