simple life

when you have an 18 month old and 2 year old. and are 7 months pregnant . . you spend most every night at home. or at grandparents. life tends to slow down and your SOCIAL life becomes a thing of the past-- and late future.. i think life will continue to be like this for the next 5 years. maybe then our kids wont be so clingy and we will be able actually pay a baby sitter so Jared and I can go "out". ..

I feel really lucky ... Jared is a great husband. i feel very blessed to have healthy, tender, loving, sweet kids. i feel blessed to be growing an Elliot in my belly-and to have a spouse to share it with. i feel blessed to have my prayers heard by my Heavenly Father, i feel lucky to have such great parents that have done so much for us, i feel blessed to have amazing in laws that have, and would do anything for us. I feel thankful for our new apartment and for the assistance we are receiving from the state so that we can get back on our feet. i feel blessed to have an Ange, who i can talk to 16 times a day and we never get sick of one another. i feel lucky to have cable tv. i feel blessed to have a husband that i can hang out with constantly and we never get sick of one another. i feel mega lucky that my kids sleep in till past 9am. i feel happy to have only gained about 2 pounds this pregnancy. i feel elated that im over halfway through growing Elliot. i feel lucky to have Nalea to discuss pregnancy with. I feel lucky to be done moving. i feel so blessed that my kids want for nothing... that they are safe, secure, happy, and know that they are loved.
my new years resolution is to live simply.
to de clutter my life, my head, and my heart
to feel organized and accomplised.
and to be proud of the simple things i accomplish.
to enjoy the simplicity and innocense of having babies
its easy to live simply.... when as you can tell by this post-- we dont have the "ability" to go out and be crazy

This was a very mature and nice post. I think sometimes everyone needs to take stalk of their lives and declutter. I think I need to as well. Enjoy your sweet little ones I don't know how you do it. But little ones simply are AWESOME!
