5 Things

I decided to post 5 good things about myself and 5 things I want to change about myself.

The good I see in myself:

1) I love the Lord and want to do his will.
2) I have a husband whom I cherish and love dearly.
3) I believe I'm a good friend.
4) I try to love in times when it feels impossible.
5) I have compassion for those who are going through something tough. I try to relate to them and help them.

The things I would like to change:

1) I would like to be a more positive person. I actually shared that at Joy last night.
2) I would like to be more confident in my conversations with others.
3) I would like to get serious motivation to lose weight but to also get healthier!
4) I would like to fast and pray more. That is an area that I need to improve on!
5) I would like to stop letting what others say or do to me bother me. I sometimes dwell on things and let it get me down when it's pointless.


I wanted to post that just for myself to look over whenever I am having a hard time or whenever I need some encouragement. Sometimes we get down and forget who we are but we need to remind ourselves that there is something good about each and everyone of us!

What's Going On

I sadly neglect my blog but I have a feeling I will be updating a lot more. My home (Bloop) is unstable and you never know one day to the next if it's going to be up or not. There is supposed to be another diary site coming up soon and I do plan to join it but not sure if I will write in it as much as I did at Bloop. So for my readers (few I have), this may be my new home.

To give a little background on my husband and I. We have been married since October 8 2005. We were both 19, young and in love! That day we both made the best decision and have not looked back!

Marriage has been such a blessing and growing process. Being 19 and getting married has shown us a lot. Not only that but we both come from diverse backgrounds so coming to a middle ground sometimes was a struggle but well worth it. God has definitely been good to us in more ways than one. He has been there in our times of need and has been the dearest friend we have ever had!

So the daily struggles with typical life things. Jobs. Money. Bills. College. My husband is attending North Central State College. He is going for his Associates in Registered Nursing. We both are certified nurse aids but I have yet to use my verification. My husband on the other hand loves what he does. He enjoys working with the elderly, taking care of them and being a friend to them. He recently applied for a full time position on 3rd and it was offered to him so now things seem to be looking up. Now it's my turn to find a job in the health field!

We plan (after he graduates which could be Spring 2011) to start a family. While it seems far away, I am sure it will come fast. Right now his work pays for his tuition so that has been a blessing. But while I work full time and he works and goes to school, it is hard to try and start a family. But whatever the Lord wants, I am ready!

So here is the start of many more to come (let's hope). Maybe I will stop neglecting this blog!

BTW... I have plans to spiffy it up some but seem to be HTML ignorant. A dear friend of mine can hopefully help me out.. right Amy?
