6:30am (alarm, fog, & glory)

At 6:30 this morning when my alarm went off the last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed. How about curling up by my husband all cozy and warm under the covers..... but no such thing could happen, reality was I had to get up and get ready to work someone else's shift (because of spring break). Which consisted of me getting out of bed like a sloth and slowly making my way to the bathroom. Thankfully I showered yesterday so no need for another shower. Khakis, black polo, teeth, hair, makeup, deodorant, perfume, and I'm ready for the day. I snatched a pop-tart and my water bottle for breakfast and left over spaghetti for lunch. Grabbed my purse, bag, and keys and headed out the door. And what do I find? A beautiful foggy morning, and through my lazy, feel sorry for myself attitude sliced God's majesty. Thoughts flashed of the water cycle and all it's forms; the earth and the life it holds. God so uniquely and wonderfully made everything with a purpose far greater than we can see. So God used this beautiful foggy morning to change my attitude for the day. "Glorify me" He seemed to say, "even though it's 7am and you're tired". So now I'm sitting at work yawning yes, but with a changed attitude (praise the Lord that he would change it). I'll make the most of this day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it, giving Him the glory throughout my day by loving Him and others. :) Have a happy Friday everyone!!

-I learned how to share my computer with Ryan (and that is partially why I have not posted for so long, his computer went kaput so we have had to share mine, so I normally I only have it in the evenings when I want to spend time with him, so yay for letting him sleep in while I blog this morning! :D)

So yeah, there is some of our life since the last time I posted. Now to look forward.

I am going to try to update this more so our family a friends that we don't get to see as often can stay connected to us and what's going on with us, and also to document our life together and be able to look back and reminiscence on all of the memories we made together. So TTFN, and look forward for more to come! :D
