I just told Cole to do something and he said "what the hell are you thinking?" ...... I had to walk away because it was hilarious.

For as long as I can remember I have been told that I look like my Grandma, my real dad's mom. Unfortunately, she passed away before I was born so I never got to meet her. But, she was such a beautiful woman and it's an honor for people to say I favor her. I'm the only grandchild that looks like her and that's even cooler :) So, what do you think??
I've been doing good with letting the past go. But, when I least expect it, it gets thrown in my face and once again, I'm to blame. Do these people not freaking get it? Why can't they just walk away from me and my life and just live their own. I don't have the patience or energy to deal with this anymore. I know they are trying to break me but it's not going to happen. You will never get the best of me ever again.
Today is mine & Shawn's 5th wedding anniversary. These 5 years have been amazing! I love him!
We go through our day worrying about things that ultimately don’t even matter and we take the things we love the most for granted. I’m completely guilty of this. I go through my day comfortably and don’t really sit back and appreciate the things that I have. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the blessings God has graced me with. But, I get so comfortable and think "Nothing bad will happen" during my daily chaos.
I have been blessed with an amazing husband that loves me, protects me, supports me and understands me. I don’t think there are enough words to describe how much I love him. Shawn and I had dinner recently and we sat outside under the breezy moonlit sky. There was a moment when Shawn told me he loved me and kissed me. When that happened my heart went soaring and my stomach started dancing. I fell in love with him all over again. I love him more and more each day that passes but every now and then something catches you off guard and you remember what your relationship is all about. I can’t imagine my life without his pretty blue eyes and that silly smile. I love being in love …. with him.
Not only was I blessed with an amazing husband but God decided to change my life & give me Cole. I look at him everyday and wonder how in the world I had something that special. It’s hard for me not to question it because I haven’t made the best decisions in my life. But, then I just thank God over and over for blessing me with such a beautiful son. He brightens my day, every day. I can’t even begin to imagine life without him. Before he came into my life I couldn’t imagine life WITH him and now I couldn’t live without him.
I used to think God dealt me a crappy hand. But, now I realize he was simply molding me into the person I am today. I have lived alot of my life holding grudges to those who just up and left me. But, I have learned that those people still love me and will always be an important part of my life. I know that I will never cry over unanswered prayers again. I know that God has a plan for me and I have complete faith in him. My life will still be complicated at times but I know it’s not the end of the world & I know it’s definitely worse somewhere else.
If you had one month to live, what five things would you do?

Travel as much as I could and just be with my family. I'd probably eat everything that I loved and watch every movie that I loved, too. I'm such a simple girl. haha.
I don't know what has been going on with me lately. I have been so freaking moody. I don't know if it's because I have been so tired the last few days or what. But, it needs to go away. I try and ignore the moodiness but it gets the best of me. I just don't know. There isn't anything bad going on in my life for me to feel this way. I guess it's just one of those days ... or weeks.
Well, Cole is asleep so I'm going to bed, too. Goodnight.
I just wanted to document this because it's so sweet. Cole went to the beach with my in-laws this past weekend. While he was in the pool with his grammy he stopped and said "I had a dream about my daddy in my chest" and he smiled and told Grammy to dream, too!
I teared up when she told me. He is such a sweet fella, how did we get so lucky?
Today Shawn & I have been together for 6 years. Awww! We are having a blast but I miss Cole soooo much. I cant wait to see him!
We took Cole to the zoo today, we went with our friends and their little boy. We had a blast. I think I might have had more fun then Cole. It’s so neat seeing all the different creatures of the world. I think my favorite was the Flamingos and the monkeys. I have always been fascinated by monkeys, I guess because they are practically human. But, the flamingos were beautiful. I have never seen one in person. The only ones I have ever seen were the plastic ones in peoples yards. haha. I think I may have to get a few now.
It was the perfect day for the zoo. The weather was pefect - it was 60 degrees, bright sun and blue skies. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. I’m so thrilled we got to go. It was a blast.
Now, I’m home, exhausted but I have so much to do. I’m totally multitasking right now. I’m typing this blog, uploading pictures, doing laundry and tending to Cole. For some reason I feel like I can do more when I’m completely exhausted. It must be a mom thing. haha.
Well, I’m off to finish things up and go to bed early. Enjoy the pictures!
