Madelein 10 Days

Madelein's Blessing Day at Church

Madelein was blessed at church on March 24th2013by her daddy. It was an amazing day. He gave her a name in the church and blessed her for her life. He was joined by Rusty, Pres Hartman, Travis, Kyle, and Rick! It was such a blessing to me to see him up there as the priesthood holder in our home and family and giving her a blessing for her life. It is amazing to see your little girl in the arms of her daddy surrounded by some amazing men in our branch who have been awesome friends in our life. I am so thankful for the ability of blessings and what they can do for our life.

Maddie's First Easter

Easter 2013! Maddie was a very good girl for the Easter Bunny and got lots of goodies. It took Daddy and I  a long time to find the perfect dress for our princess. We went with a pink/coral theme and we all matched for church!

Spring Time

Spring has sprung. Flowers are blooming every where. I love the weather and the sunshine. I love even more that I am able to enjoy it every day. Being a stay at home mom has been the best blessing in my life. I am more than thankful for all that I have been given. I know that I will be blessed because my daughter will be able to learn and grow at home with her mommy.

I just finished the spring semester of classes and I am so excited. Being done with classes is amazing. It means more time with my sweet baby girl. I love to spend time with her. I am getting very close to being done with school and it is awesome. I love the classes but cant wait to see what else life has in store for me.

Maddie is the highlight of our lives. She has brought so much love and joy to our lives that I dont know what we would do without her. She amazes me every day. She is 3 months old and has the best smile ever. I love to see her smile and her dimples they are so cute. She gets so excited to see both Sean and I and it is amazing. She has rolled over, and scoots every where on her belly. Today she held onto a toy and played with it. She absolutely loved it so much. Her hands are so tiny she has a hard time grasping onto things. She isnt much of a shopper but we will change that! I cant wait for all of the adventures that the summer will bring to our home and to our lives.

Sean is working on his bachelors in Finance and just added accounting. I am beyond proud of him for all of his hard work. He is definately the bread winner in our home. He is working so hard for Maddie and I and we are so thankful for his love, dedication, support and help. We are thankful it is summer session and that he will be home more often and not have as much class work to do so that we can spend more time with him.

For me, I am on a journey of becoming healthier and being a more positive happy person. There is no reason in life to be unhappy and negative. Life is too short for those things.

Hug your loved ones, pray daily, love your family, and count your blessings!

The life of a mom is so amazing! I love every second of it! I can't explain how she melts my heart over and over again day in and day out. I am thankful for the blessing we received at the end of a Kong challenging journey to get Maddie! My life feels so Mich happier with her.  

Being a stay at home wife n mom has its ups b downs but I wouldn't trade it for the world! I love taking care of things and being able to do the things needed for my family!

I am actiously awaiting warm weather so we can plant flowers and such! It will be so great!

Well where to start??? So much has happened in the past month. It started out by be notified with short notice that my job was holding a manditory staff meeting and hour and half after I went home, and I had a church even that I was the only one from our yw presidency that was planning to go. I was so unsure what to do, but knowing that I couldn't risk loosing my job, I went to the meeting at work and was told that on the following Tuesday that the board of directors would vote to close our doors because of low funding. I actually unlike others was quite calm. I guess I kind of saw it coming. I dont know why but it didnt really shock me. So I went home and told my hubby and then just decided that I would pray about it and not let it get my weekend down. So Tuesday came and work was very long and trying for all. I know I thought it was never going to end. That evening I decided not to go to the meeting because I had  a lot of homework that I had to completer. So i stayed home and waited for a phone call from a co-worker. I got the news that we were set to be open for at least 2 more weeks, when the board would meet again. I learned the next day that they are 100,000 in debt and had to come up with 38,000 in just 2 weeks. I honestly do not think it will happen, so that meeting i set to be held on Monday May 7th...just a few days away. I will be attending that meeting for sure. So this week, I decided that I want to become a 31 gifts consultant to raise some extra money so that I can help out if I do loose my job or just to be a stay at home mom some day. I am really excited yet very nervous. My husband graduates from Ivy Tech in 7 days..I am so excited for him and cant wait to celebrate his accompishments, with our friends and family. I am working really hard to get things done around the house so that I can be prepared for the guest and to show off our house. I am excited about that this will be our first party that we have been able to host since we have been together. In two weeks from Friday, we will have been dating for 4 years....Yes I know hard to believe. In that 4 years, we have gotten married, I joined the church, we went to the temple and got sealed for all of time and eternity, we moved to a much larger house, I got a job promotion, sean will graduate, and we got pregnant even though it didnt turn out as we had hoped it would, we still got pregnant and that is wonderful...we now know that we can get pregnant and we are not gonna let anything stop us from trying. So you have it what a crazy last month, oh and I have 2 finals to complete before I am done for summer vacation. I am getting really excited for this summer and all that it is going to have to offer us and all of the new friendships that I am sure that I will make throughout the year with my new business endevour. Well it is time to get ready for a night of mani/pedi's with my amazing yw!!!!!!!!!

Well what a fantastic Sabbath Day it has been. Church was fantastic, the talks were right there hitting home and the spirit was ever more strong. The lesson that I taught on short notice in YW was also very uplifting to me. I was able to go to the hospital and visit with my dear friend Amber, and hold her very precious baby boy for about 2 hours. It was so fantastic and so much uplifting to me. Just showed me how much more I wanted a baby of my own and how much harder I need to work to keep myself in shape in order to make it happen. I am contimplating changing doctors and hospitals, but I am just not sure what I want to do. I am so confused about the right thing to do. I am just going to leave it up to Heavenly Father and pray about it as needed. I know that I will find my answer. The week is hopeful that it will be a good one, looks like we may be able to go outside this week which always helps out the kiddos and their attitudes. They seem to much more into learning if we do that.
