Life is good!

I am a pretty happy girl right now.

I just feel so content and happy

with my life lately.

It is very refreshing!

Some of the things that I know are giving me

this positive attitude are:

#1 - OUR NEW HOUSE :]

Yes, it looks light yellow.

It also has carpet in the kitchen

and a baby purple bathroom.

OBVIOUSLY,

we will be doing some remodeling.

Which makes me absolutely more

excited than ever!

I am so excited to make this place our own

and to finally OWN our own house!

We are getting the keys on Wednesday.

I spend a great majority of my days

at work looking at decorating and remodeling blogs.

I am stoked!

It feels so great to be taking this

big step in our lives.

I am so proud of the things

we have accomplished so far in our marriage.

And I am so happy that we will

own a house and have both of our

vehicles paid off before we even

START our family.

#2 - Do Terra Essential Oils

and my little version of integrative medicine!

I have this amazing friend from California

named Cynthia.

She is a member of the Self Realization Fellowship church

which is based on beliefs from a guru in India.

SO interesting!

She has inspired me to be more open

to a lot of things in my life.

She's way into herbs and essential oils.

So when our friend Richard told us he was starting

to sell Do Terra Oils,

I was super excited!

We went to a meeting at his house last night

to learn all about them.

They are awesome,

and I LOVE using them.

She also meditates.

Random, I know.

But she encouraged me to try it,

not necessarily for religious purposes,

but for self relaxation.

I thought it was a little off the wall,

but when my monthly COSMO magazine

had an article about meditating,

I decided to give it a try.

So I found myself a Pandora radio station

that plays calm meditation music

and I have been spending about 15 minutes

every morning just sitting in my quiet

bedroom listening to it

and trying to clear my mind.

You would be surprised at how good

this makes you feel!

I am hooked on my new essential oils

and my little morning, stress relieving ritual!

#3 - Our new friends, Richard and Chels.

We have lots of friends,

and we love them.

But we have had so much fun with

Richard and Chels lately.

It is SO nice to have married friends,

who want to do the same things as us.

We will just call each other and say

Hey let's go hiking!
And we will all just drop everything and go.

I have been pretty baby hungry lately.

But having friends who will go do

crazy fun stuff with us at a moments notice

has cured me.

I could NOT do these things if I had a baby.

I am SO looking forward to when we will have one.

But I don't think we are quite ready

to give up all our fun nights and weekends!

Which brings me to number 4.....

#4 - Our cruise!

Next time we get paid we are booking

our 4 night October cruise to Mexico

with Richard and Chels!

Needless to say,

we are pumped for this.

#5 - Having health insurance!

We got our insurance cards...

I can finally go in and get my eyes

checked and get new glasses and contacts.

This is huge for me.

My eyes cause me so much trouble!

It will be so nice to know that if

we get hurt we can go to the doctor!

#6 - Having my Momma with me...

I am such a momma's girl.

We are always busy and if I don't

see my mom for a couple days in a row

I get so sad!

Kenzie makes fun of me so bad

cuz I see her more than most people

get to see their moms and I still get all upset

when a few days go by and I don't see her.

It has been like a dream come true to have

my mom with me everyday.

#7 - Being Married to my very bestie :]

Gosh I just love Mackenzie.

I can't even tell ya.

He is such a sweetheart.

The other day we were thinking back on

how different our first year of marriage

was from our second year.

We spent the first year of marriage fighting!

Haha, like always.

But the last 8 months or so have been

absolutely awesome.
I think we have just matured a lot

and we now realize how to talk out problems

without trying to kill each other!

I can't even believe we are a couple

weeks away from our 2 year anniversary.

The time is going by TOO FAST!

{ SO ANYWAY }

There is my spill.

As I was driving to work today,

I just realized how happy and content

I feel with my life right now,

and it is such a good feeling!

Happy Monday :]
