Photo a Day

So I have always seen people do the photo a day thing, so I thought I would give it a shot. So here it is for May 1 and 2! :)

May 1: Peace

This is my peaceful place...my family! (We will get an updated photo of our whole family together when get home this summer. Can't wait!) They are my world and I couldn't be at more peace and ease with my life right now! God is good! :)

May 2: Skyline

My favorite skyline...Honolulu, Hawaii! Absolutely the most beautiful place on Earth! Hope to visit there again someday! :)

May 3: Something I wore today

My baby girl and a burp cloth. The story of my life these days! She is attached to her mama! :)

May 4: Fun!

I want so much to be on a dock somewhere with my girls soaking up the sun and drinking a corona! (Just wish I was ready for swimsuit season! lol)

May 5: Bird

The one "bird" that can bring both joy and tears to any military wive's face!
Not looking forward to having to go through this again! It doesn't matter if you have gone through it once or 20 times...it's just as hard every time!

Devoting Time

A good friend of mine introduced me to a mom's devotional website. Since I am a new mom, I am definitely facing some challanges. I found the website very insightful and refreshing. It reminds me of what I am blessed with...the gift of a child. Even 3 weeks into being a mom, I find myself getting caught up in the daily routines and losing focus of what my job is as a mother. I need a daily reminder of what God has given me and what I need to do for my child to help her grow through his eyes.

We are always quick to go to Him when we need something or when things are bad, but it is times like these when we simply need to be thankful and reminded of how truly blessed we really are. Life definitely has its ups and downs, but are they always as bad as we make them out to be? Take advantage of the negative moments and find something positive in them. 

I need to remind myself to do this daily.

So...here is the daily devotional for today! Check it out! Manna For Moms

Newbie

Well this is my first blog...ever. I am not sure how well I will do keeping up with it, but I'll try! I wanted to start this to keep track of what is happening in my life at this point and share it with you guys. So much has happened in the past year and it is only the beginning. My life has gone from happy wife to happy wife and mother. Things have been interesting and I am enjoying the ups and downs of motherhood. So this is a way for me to reflect back on what is going on and hopefully laugh or cry about it later on!

For now I am just going to enjoy the ride and love up on my two favorite people in the world!

She's my lil sumo baby! lol :)
