An Attitude Change

Well, I have realized something...My circumstances are not changing and I'm in desperate need of help, Gods help. Nothing is going to change until my attitude changes and I quit being angry and resentful. It's time I trust God and take back my joy!
How on earth can I do that? I've been asking myself that for awhile....I've finally heard how from the great Beth Moore and her weekly morning talkshow. Praise God!!!!
Yes, it's true..Praising God is the best form of prayer...and in praising God it will change my attitude which will change my thoughts and feelings.
I believe God has brought me to this realization for a reason. It's time to quit stressing about us not being pregnant and everyone else being pregnant/having kids. God has given Jeph and I a desire for kids for a reason...and he has given us many signs...including scripture that say we will have a family of our own, soon. Jeph believes this with his whole heart. Whereas, I don't...but I think it's important that I believe it with my whole heart and trust "God is willing and able to do what he has promised. Rom 4:21"
With an attitude change and joy who knows what God will do. I want to see what living life again will feel like, I'm sure it's better then what I've been living with this last year.

*God I'm giving to you my life and every aspect. I've seen what you can do to relationships ie: my dad...truly amazing and wonderful! My husband, the best in the world...my friends, the greatest group of young marrieds/girlfriends that I can talk to/do anything with, real friends. Finances...tithing, such a release in trusting God. So knowing how amazing you are God in so many areas how can I not trust you with my health(restoring)and having 3 kids of our own?!! I will now!!! I choose to really let go and let you God be in control. Thank you for your patience, grace, love, and thank you for all the things you've done and all things your going to do!
I love you! I will serve you all the days of my life to the best of my ability.

Mini family reunion

So last week Jeph and I went on a road trip with my mom, stepdad Paul, Ethan(my nephew), Krista(my sister), Sam(her hubby), and Miss J(my niece). It was good! We took 2 cars down and it was really fun. We stayed in K Falls one night...Sam, Krista, Miss J, Jeph, and I shared a 2 bedroom suite we all had a great dinner together and then the four of us watched Spiderman 3 and hung out.
The next day we got to Reno and went out to Verdi to visit with my uncle Les, aunt Kitty, and four cousins. We all hung out and enjoyed each others company. :)
The next day we went out to Carson City to a museum, it was really amazing to see the history of Nevada. We even got to go in a Ghost Town/Gold mine...really fun!
That afternoon Sam, Krista, Jeph, and I all went miniature golfing...the funny thing is it's the first place my dad had taken my mom on their first date. We had a good time! I love mini golf! That night we all went to my Grandpa and Grandmas house to hang out and then we all went out to dinner. Later that night...Jeph and Sam played pool and Krista and I watched "Why Did I Get Married." It was a fun time!
The next day we spent all day with Grandpa, Grandma, aunt Claire, Gabriella, Will, and the rest of us we even took family pictures and then we went to Cabellas the largest Cabellas I have ever seen. It had a huge fish tank(fresh/salt), and a huge safari scene. We had an amazing lunch and spent more time together.
Later that day we left for the airport...my dad picked Jeph, Ethan, and I up at the airport we had tacos for dinner and played together.
I had a really good time with my family and I will miss them. I look forward to another family trip soon, maybe September?!!!
Just remember to enjoy all the time with your family you can...you never know.

Jett...my baby!

This is my furry baby! Jett is our 6 1/2 year old black lab/shelty mix who we brought home from my uncle Jim and aunt Jens house when we moved back to the coast 3 years ago. He is our big baby...our only child right now. He loves the beach, chasing tennis balls, treats, taking walks, and anything that means we are paying attention to him. I'm glad we have had a chance to have just him before kids, it means that for sure he will be mellowed out even more by the time we have kids for him to play with. :) It's really fun whenever our nieces and nephews come over and play with Jett, he's a real showoff. :) I love my big black furry baby and I wanted to give him a special blog just for himself.

Enjoy the pics of my precious!
