I am totally livin' the life I love...

As I was killing myself running stadiums  with my sister in law today we got on the topic of "if we could go back to high school, knowing what we know now, would we?" We began chatting and talking about all the amazing times we had in high school (separately of course- I was graduating with my bachelors when she was graduating high school--she's a youngin'). We started talking about what we would do different and the choices we made then that we would definitely not make today.

I reminisced. I thought about all the choices I made in high school and after mostly after high school. I thought about what I WOULD do different, the people- the places-the things I did then thought, wait! all of the choices I did make in these past 9 years (eek!) have brought me to where I am today and let me tell ya, I could not be more happier, more satisfied, more aware of knowing I am suppose to be where I am in this moment of my life.


I am totally livin' the life I am in love with....

of course I could have/make more money, be more in shape, have a better attidue about life somedays, have a baby in my belly (hehe) but all in all, I could go to heaven tonight and say to Jesus "up to this day, you have given me all I could and have asked for!" and it's the honest truth.

I have an amazing (& gorgeous) husband who is my very best(est) friend that I am so head-over-heels in love with. For the past four years (only been married for almost two months) I have grown more and more in love with him and his crazy, silly self! He is the reason I wake up every morning, thank God for everything he has given me and going to give me and start my day living for us.

We have a beautiful home that we purchased in January, and I could not ask for anything more, except someone to come and decorate it. (Forewarning, this will not be a decorating/look how fancy my house is blog).

I have the MOST amazing family. I do not know what I would do without my Momma, Daddy and two younger brothers. They are the glue that keeps me all together, they are who I have worked so hard for in my life and I am so happy I have been able to give them everything they have ever expected from me.

I also have the greatest 2nd family (my in-laws). Without ALL of their support- Mom, Dad, Jessi, Vic and Jake- Vernon and I would have not made it to where we are now. I, We are so immensely blessed for such wonderful people in our lives, who care for us and the choice we make.

I have a job that is makes me smile, laugh, cry, pop Tylenol and want to drink a glass of wine every day! Teaching my little 2nd grade boogers is also what makes my life complete, they are life my own children and I love them all so dearly.

I have also been so fortunate to be blessed with the mind, ability and patience to have a Masters degree in Instructional Design. A goal that I have always had, I finally made come true on April 26, 2012.

&& my dear, amazing friends- I have the greatest group of friends- and though there is only a handful of them (mostly married couples) that I trust with my whole life- they are the best group of people that God could have placed in my life.  They are all so different yet perfect for me. =)

My life is marvelous. I am so deeply and incredibly blessed beyond measures. 

&& looking back, I can say I have faced some difficult tribulations in my life and yet I am so thankful I was able to overcome every single obstacle that was thrown in my way and walk the path that lead me to where I am now....

to a life that I love <3
to the man that I love <3
to the family that  I love <3
to the students that I love <3
to the friends that I love <3
&& last but NOT least, actually first to the God above me that I love <3
