Full of it...

My life is FULL.

Full of goals when I find myself exhausted from a day of accomplishing the things I needed to get done.

Full of health when I feel like a zombie from only 5 or 6 hours of sleep so that I can rise for my 5am workouts.

Full of awesome people when there are family events, get-togethers with friends, or kids' games that I carve out time in my calendar to attend.

Full of patience when my mind is restless, but I keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Full of love when I am sick... because I can rely on someone to help me get rest and proper nutrition.

Full of good food choices when I feel like I'm gaining weight on some weeks.

Full of blessings when I am trying to see the glass half full and notice it IS half full.

Full of His grace and mercy because I am alive.

A Full Heart

So much changing. I want to capture it all in a few paragraphs, but I can't; that's going to be a lot of paragraphs. So instead, let me list the top 10 blessings so far.


  1. I'm getting married in less than 5 months to the person whom my soul loves. He is honestly (if I can be unbiased), truly one of the most amazing individuals I have ever met.
  2. Referring to #1: I'm going to have the people we love so dearly under the same roof on that day. How awesome is that?!
  3. My future step kids are beautiful human beings.
  4. I actually really like hanging out with my in-laws (parents, sister, the kids, the dogs, etc.).
  5. Work is changing so much - we've been bought for $1.1B.  Stay tuned...
  6. My parents and future parents-in-law are alive and well, and look forward to the wedding.
  7. I love it when both C and N are in our bedroom and just lounging - even if their eyes are glued on that darn phone ;)
  8. It makes my heart happy when the kids ask me to make certain dishes.
  9. I love home and everything about it.
  10. "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans".
