Cousins....

Trenton is SO excited!!!  He has two of his cousins spending the night tonight at our house.  They have been playing hard and having a blast.  They are "sleeping" in their fort right now ( our littlest tent), but you hear them telling stories to each other and then they giggle.  I love having kids laughing in my house and having fun, but more than that I love that Trenton and Kaydon get to live close enough to their cousins to be best friends with them and make such fun memories.  There isn't anything sweeter in life then hearing kids laughing together.

My life is pretty stinking awesome!!

Today I had one of those "uh-huh" moments where I am reminded how wonderful my life is.  I will admit there are times that I have something happen ( and usually it isn't the first time...maybe I have to be learn something new) and I think to myself "WHY THE HECK DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!?!?!?!"  You know what though?  I would take the trials I have to face anyday over the ones that other people have.  Really, my life is pretty amazing.  I am truly watched over.  I have 2 handsome, wonderful boys and the most perfect man I get to call my husband for eternity.  I know what my purpose with life is and I know what will happen to me when I die.  I have an amazing church I get to be a part of and because of it I get to be with my family that has passed on before me.  I have a roof over my head and food to eat.  I have my family who I love so dearly.  I have amazing friends that help to lift me up everytime I get to see them or talk to them.  There are so many other people out there in the world that don't get to have those things and I do.  I think that is pretty stinking awesome that I have those blessings!!
