Crazy to Calm

I took a step back the other day.


I reflected on the last couple years of our lives and reviewed the craziness that it was.


There were lots of changes, emotions, tears, laughs, ups, downs, weddings, a house, a deployment, and all that happened in between.


No wonder I feel like I am forgetting to do something or make myself feel rushed for no reason. It was starting to become normal for things to be just absolutely NUTS. No countdown to be obsessing about, nothing big to plan, no major tasks to tackle, or no monumental changes coming up.

Time to take a step forward, RELAX, and enjoy life. Feel ok with normal life. Get a normal routine.

This weekend we will be heading to the Fuglestad's to begin the holidays. Dane hasn't been back to Hope (his hometown) since he returned from Kosovo. We are really looking forward to seeing his family! I am most excited that we will be having two Thanksgivings this year since it is my favorite holiday!

I am seriously in the holiday spirit this year. We are having my parents and one of my brothers over for Thanksgiving at our house. I already bought the turkey and most everything else. I can't wait for the house to fill with the smells of the holiday meal and be filled with family.

We hope everyone enjoys the beginning to the holiday season. May you all have safe travels, good food, good company, and remembering all we have to be thankful for!

So, I can't hardly end this post without a list. Let me count all of my blessings and appreciate all I have to be thankful for.

1. my families. Dane. His family. My family. All of our friends. Our military family.
2. jobs.
3. our home.
4. health.
5. that my husband is home for the holidays and the every days!
