Grateful

Brooke is a genious! She finally got a family picture of us all looking at the same time and smiling at the same time! She is an awesome photographer who has very reasonable rates. If you ever want to check out her site and make an appointment with her the link is on the right hand side to her site.
See Mj's super cute outfit? I got that from this site for families to save money and save the environment at the same time. It's called www.uanditrade.com. You basically trade your items that you have grown out of for new items you can use. No money is involved. There is a point system that is used instead and the only time you pay for something is when someone requests your item and you ship it to them. It saves the environment because you are reusing other peoples items. I have gotten my kids wardrobes already for winter off of there and some other great things for our house. There is a forum on there as well so I have met some amazing women off of there as well.
I am so glad we were able to get family pictures taken before Mike left again. I am grateful that he was able to make it for the birth too. I swear I like prayed every single day for him to make it home...ultimately it was up to God. I strongly believe everything happens for a reason. We had a message at church last week, there link is on the side too :) There was a reason why I was put through 5 years of hell. Those 5 years of hell have brought me to a place where I couldn't be happier. God has given me a wonderful husband who I couldn't love more, amazing kids, who drive me crazy every once in awhile, haha. He has given me amazing friends and has brought me to a new church, and even though my husband is gone I am still happy. Even though he can't be with me physically, he is still always with me. Ugh, I just can't wait for him to get back...lol
Ok now I am off to play with the kids and talk to my gorgeous husband :)
