New Addition

We have a new addition to our little family!  Nope, I'm not pregnant....  We got a kitten!  She is so cute and tiny.  A tortie that is 4 months old and weights a whopping 4.4 pounds.   She is a total Daddy's little girl.  He is so cute with her.  Our other cat Finn is not so happy but it will be good for him in the long run. 

Some pictures for you guys. 

  See Daddy's Little Girl! 

 Our little Fiona!  She is so cute. 

The very unhappy Big Brother.  Who is of course my baby still. 

Leap of Faith.

Around this time a year ago, my amazing husband asked me to be his wife. Now I happily said yes but I will admit there was more then a little fear in my heart. That past year, we watched as some of my closest friends were being a little more then mistreated by cupid, the love god. And I'm not going to mince the words here. It hurt to see that was happening to them and their lives when love falls apart. I spent a lot of time wondering will we be strong enough to endure all the misery that life has to offer.

Yes, my fiance at the time, was everything that I could have hoped for and dreamed about but did I have enough faith to jump into this complete and total unknown? I was worried because by getting married your not only changing your life but everyone else around you. I worried because frankly that is what I do best. But I was worried about how my parents would feel about having a son in law. And suddenly how my actions and the way that I treated my husband could totally affect his family as well. we all hear about those crazy stories of families vs. families. What if they never like me? could i do it? Have that strength. And I'll tell you, I had that fear right up to the middle of the aisle and then magically, it all fell away. It was as if that spot in my heart, the one that I was so fearful of and worried about, took one look at my fiance standing at the altar. Looking so perfect in his suit and just a little nervous, for that spot in my heart to caught up to all the rest of my heart and be like, of course.... You might not have the strength but that is why God put that man in front of you. That together you will have all the strength you need to weather the storm of life. And make an adventure out of it.

So now, A year later from when he first asked me to be his wife. That leap of faith that I took to say yes to him and realize that with him comes the good and the bad. But that the good he brings into my life far out weights the bad.

It was so worth it.
