Well here we are

It's been far too long since I've written.  We are settled into the new house and adjusting to our new life.  The girls seem very happy with where we are at and I couldn't agree more.  I can't wait for Spring to get here so that I can get outside and plant flowers.  With the 12 windows in our sunroom I plan to plant lots of planter boxes of flowers outside the windows.  Now if only I could convince my family to allow me to move my office from the basement up here.  I'll keep tryin!

Ayla is growing like a weed.  Hard to believe that in just a little over a month she's going to be 4.  Where has the time gone?  She's so smart and so sassy.  She gives me a reason to giggle every day.   Every time I look at her and Kenna I know how blessed I am.

Jake and I will be taking our first vacation together in April.  Jake has always wanted to see the Red Sox play so for Christmas I got him Red Sox/Yankee tickets.  We'll be flying to Boston for a long weekend and I'm almost certain that he's had the countdown going in his head since he found out we were headed that way.  I plan to use some of the trip to recruit new Scentsy consultants  :)

Then in June we'll be headed to Punta Cana for yet another all expense paid trip with Scentsy.  This business has beyond blessed my life.  I've gone from barely living paycheck to paycheck to being able to pay all my bills, help others in their time of need and do fun stuff with the family without even batting an eye.

I can honestly say that my life has been blessed.  I never would have guessed that a year ago I would be where I am today, but then again a year ago I didn't know the man who is responsible for much of this happiness.  I look at him every morning and thank God for blessing not only my life, but the life of everyone that Jake comes in contact with.  He truly is an amazing man and I am so lucky to have him.

Well, it's time to play a game with the littles so I guess that's it for now.  I will be back soon!

Well, it's a start

Well, I guess this is one way to get myself to write down what's going on in this crazy life I lead. God has sent me on some funny paths.  Married twice, divorced twice and now in an amazing relationship with someone who means the world to me.  I'm sure many people thought that I got involved too soon after my divorce, heck I know that many people talked about it and I just got to the point where I had to say WHO CARES?  My life is my life and I'll be damned if I was going to live it unhappily.  Why would I want my girls, who mean the world to me, to grow up seeing me unhappy in my relationship?  I want them to experience what true love means and even more what it looks like.  I wasn't looking for Jake when he came into my life, but there he was.  Someone that I could talk to.  He understood what I was going through as he was going through the same sort of situation.  He listened when I talked.  We spent hours upon hours on the phone getting to know each other and we naturally fell in love.  He captured my heart and even thinking about it makes me tear up.  He's my angel, sent from above.  For a long time I listened to my sister talk about how she still gets excited to see her husband come home every night.  Now I know exactly what she is talking about.  Every time I see Jake walk through the door my heart races.  Every time I feel his kisses on my forehead at 4:30am when he gets home from work, I feel like I'm the luckiest girl alive.  He has given me a gift of love that I have never felt.  I am 100% confident in our relationship and know without a doubt that he was heaven sent.  God had a plan in our meeting, in our coming together and in our relationship being what it is.  When he wraps his arms around me it's the safest feeling in the world.  And even more than that, he loves my girls as his own and they adore him.  

We've grown as family since Jake has come into our lives.  We spend hours laughing and having fun with each other.  We act goofy and it's so much fun having a house full of giggles.  

So where will our crazy life end up next...well, I bought a house in Tiffin.  It will become OUR HOME.  A fresh start on a life that I've only dreamed of.   I'm excited for our future.  I'm excited for my Happily Every After...Take 3.
