Looking outside the box...

Well...I always try to be a positive person. Thats just how I think it should be, thats how I think people should look at life. I always try to be a good friend, a good family member. I think that we need to spend time with, and not take for granted the people in our lives. We should never be "to busy" to pick up the phone, is the world really going to fall apart if the dishes get done 5 minutes later than they would have? What is really important? I think we have lost touch. And the sad thing is that people may or may not read this, but will it really matter to them? Will anyone stop and think about what I think is the truth in my words? We need to stop and take a look around and relieze. Life is to short. What happens when the people we "love" are gone? What then? You can't go back, you can't make things right, or tell them how you really felt. Do the petty things really matter? Are the grudges we hold really worth it? We only have so much time here, why do we waste it? God, I am not saying I'm perfect, believe me there are a few things I need to get over, I just don't like feeling like I am the only one putting in the effort.(and maybe thats my problem,maybe I need to stop looking for the "grand gesture" and accept more of the small things) The way I see things, from my point of view, I really do try, and it is easy to get taken up with the petty things, all I am really trying to say is it is never to late to try a little harder, to make ammends, to let someone know that you do care, to step outside of your comfort zone just a little, to pay it forward.

- Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things!
Philippians 4:8

(That I think is what we should live by! All the wonderful things, not the negative!)

Today my baby turns 18 months old!...sigh...

Sooo... today Logan is 18 months old!! My oh my how fast time goes!


Look at my baby...err.. I mean big boy...(don't mind the sweat glistening off his face, it is really hot here..well for washington, most homes not having air conditioning, standards!)



Sooo yeah, for us, hot. And thats just inside. But enough about the heat, its that time of year again for Dina to go on vacation and Logan is going to stay with great grandma and grandpa Monte! Sweet! (and thank you!) So I think I am going to end this with some very cute pics of my little big boy enjoying his apple juice popsicle after doing lots of 1,2,3's (counting to 1,2,3 and jumping, well stepping, off the ladder into the water) ENJOY! And take care! And don't forget to keep STELLAN and his family in your thoughts!

Pray for STELLAN

Soooo... the past couple of days I have been wanting to do a post on here, but for some reason I just haven't, and honestly now I think it is better that I didn't becuase I know for a fact it would have been me venting and complaining about alll the things I have felt like complaining about lately. But then I stopped and took a look at the bigger picture and took a look at how lucky I really am and it made those little things that I wanted to bitch about really just seem sooo petty. I HAVE a healthy, happy son.
I HAVE a husband that loves us and comes home to us every night.
I HAVE a roof over my head.(though be it a very hot roof right now, so we are sleeping in the tent in the back yard... seriously 10 oclock and the thing says 95 degrees in here!)
I find myself having to check via the internet on my phone or at home every couple of hours to see if MCKMAMA has given any updates on precious STELLAN. And unfortunetly, especially this last 24 hours or so, I find myself crying after reading each heartbreaking one. Sooo instead of venting about the petty things, and wasting all my effort worrying about said things, I am putting that effort into being thankful for what I do have, and keeping families like STELLANS in my thoughts and my prayers. I have my baby here, happy and healthy, what more is there really?
