Just life
Life is amazing. I love it. I find myself slipping into depression sometimes (a family trait), but once I slip out of it I look around and I think WHY........Why did I slip into that, and it happens a lot that I do. I have these amazing friends, and I really truly feel like I was born into the one and only true religion, not a cult, that really requires you to live the way God (Jehovah) wants you to. Every time I'm feeling down, out of nowhere, my dear friend Amy will call. I love her so much. Sometimes I feel like I rely on her too much. One day, I play these waste of time games online way too much, I met this amazing woman, DeeAnne. That night I dreamed about here. The next morning I got online and we just happened to find eachother..........without looking. I told her about my dream. Within' a few minutes I found out her father-in-law is one of Jehovah's Witnesses and it has caused a rift in her family. We've talked A LOT and she has told me how she's been curious about our religion but didn't want to ask questions and cause more problems. I've answered many of her questions and we have become really close. I just feel so lucky. I'm such a reserved person, but my faith has opened me up to so many people. I wish more people would take the time to listen. Too many think of us as a cult, but we are far from that. What other religion teaches the same exact thing in every place. There is no differentiation. Every Witness around the world believes the exact same thing. We all hold ourselves to the exact same standards, and we don't very at all. No false idols, no fornication or adultery, no stealing.......... I don't feel anywhere near perfect, but I know that if I start to stray, I have a close knit family to straighten me up. I'm so happy.

Me and mine
As I sit and listen to Aiden complain about not wanting to eat dinner, I can't believe how much I absolutely adore my little ones. I had tons of people today tell me that my kids are so well behaved. I always have people tell me that Austin is the smartest kid they know (and yes, he is brilliant, and not just "Mommy" brilliant.) I have good kids. They never get into things. They know what is good and what is bad. Sometimes I feel like I'm not that great of a parent, but today is not one of those days.
Aiden is OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED. I am super excited about that. That is about $60+ a month. I look around and see people that are just putting up with their children, and I don't want to be one of them.
I love my little family. As I sit and watch my sister's marriage fall apart, I can't help but realize I have an amazing husband. He loves me and the kids. I never doubt him. He is great. He supports us not only financially but also emotionally. I've noticed lately that most of my friends have abandoned their children to their own parents, who are just getting ready to retire. I don't understand the irresponsible tendensy of this generation.
I have enjoyed every milestone of my life (at least in some way). Up until high school it was peaches. High school taught me a lot about people. Then I got married, spent 4 1/2 years alone with my husband and then had Austin. There have been moments where I have felt like I'm going to lose my mind, but that's life.
My mom really wants me to have another baby, because Greg and I have such a great relationship, but we are honestly ready to move on to the next chapter (which I think we will have lots 'o fun with). ENJOYING OUR CHILDREN.
Having babies is OK. I thought it would be AMAZING, but there is the lack of sleep, diaper changing, being tied down, MONEY MONEY MONEY, stress of back to back doctor visits and not to mention POTTY TRAINING SUCKS. Now they are learning to do things that we really enjoy doing, and are so amazingly funny. I thought I would start to get bored after the baby years, but the opposite has happened.
I can't wait until they learn how to swim. We are planning on camping with them within the next few months. They play make believe. They attack us for fun. LOL. It's great! I think sometimes I need to sit and meditate upon how wonderful my life really is, and how so many people would be jealous if they knew how good I have it.
