on to day 4 and 5...

Day 4: Something you've had to forgive someone for...

I have to forgive Tim for drinking all of our drinks we share :) He doesn't mean to...he just does it. Who said this had to be a deep truth?

Day 5: Something you hope to do in your life.

As most wives and women do, I hope to have kids! Here is my furry child, Molly! She has been a blessing and a joy! But, I still want some human kids :)

Also, I want to be a radio personality...seeing in that I don't have my degree in communications or anything other than education...it's defnitely a long shot...but I would LOVE to get paid to talk and people may actually WANT to listen to me! How fun!

Day 3

Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.

I must admit that this post was difficult to write. Because of the love and grace that is Jesus Christ, forgiveness is something that I learn more and more about. I feel I have not held guilt over myself for many things in my life because I am aware of the freedom that is Christ.

That said, I had a hard time coming up with something to write. I don't feel like I have struggled to forgive myself...but these are two things that I struggle with.
1) Spending time in the word. From sophomore year in high school to sophomore year in college, there were very few days I would miss reading my bible and spending time with God. Busy-ness has taken hold of my priorities and I am ashamed to say I have been very inconsistent the past few years. Recently, it has been my desire to get back into that intimate place with God.
2) As stated previously, I have built up a bunch of resentment towards myself when it comes to image. I need to forgive myself for being so judgemental of myself and learn to embrace the beauty God has placed inside of me.

Alright....something more fun.

Today we had a meeting in school and discussed stuff coming up in the next six weeks. These include,
1) 7 1/2 days until Thanksgiving break.
2) Early dismissal Nov. 19
3) Our third graders get to see the Nutcracker Ballet in December!
4) Our Christmas PARTY in my class!
5) 24 1/2 Days until Christmas break!

I went home this weekend and I was so homesick leaving!! I miss being close to family and I miss the Dallas area! Come on holiday breaks!!

Day 2

30 Days of Truth

Day 2: What I love about myself.

I love that I am a wife. I love this whole marriage thing. It has been so awesome and wonderful to be married to Mr. Tim and test out my wifey skills. I love to cook (not that cooking constitutes a good wife)! I love having a companion to share life with everyday and every night. I love waking up beside my best friend. I love having someone to make decisions with. I love to share stories at the end of the day. I love that I can just lean over on the couch and my hubs is there. I love having someone to talk about the future with! I just love being a wife!

I also love that I am ambitious. I love to push myself and achieve my goals. When I set my mind to something, I will do my very best to succeed. I love a challenge!

Here's to being a wifey!

30 Days of Truth

Taylor and Sarah have dived into the thirty days of truth, so here I come, too! Maybe this will motivate me to blog? I read everyone else's blogs everyday...but I just haven't been motivated to soul search or anything...so here goes 30 days of truth!

Day 1: Something you hate about yourself.

The number one thing I have hated about myself since I was elementary school is my weight. However, over the years I have realized that it's not my weight I hate...it's my mindset! I hate that I don't see myself the way that God sees me....or anyone else sees me for that matter. My husband tells me everyday how beautiful he thinks I am...how badly I'd love to believe him! I can remember back to before third grade struggling with seeing myself as beautiful. I hate it. I hate that it effects the way that I carry myself...I hate that it effects my relationship with my Creator and my husband.

I'm hoping day two is a happier truth!

Now that's out of the way...Halloween was exciting in our neck of the woods! Tim and I trecked out to our fall festival as bars of soap!

And I was also able to spend time with my ridiculously sweet nephew, Colin man who made a handsome Mario!

And how could we forget our sweet Molly Lou?? She, too, had a costume! We couldn't pass up the 50% off cow costume we found on Halloween at Petsmart. Sadly, no trick or treaters came by for her to show it off! But, I will give her some fame in the blog world! Meet Molly Moo!

Hopefully the next post will be sooner than later...
