Family 2

Next up...the one we all strive to be like! MUM!

 she's the one I go to (besides my hubs now) for almost everything! She's who you wanna be folks!

I love my Mum because:

I don't know that I've ever seen her put herself first

She's been through TONS (job losses, cancer, arthritis, caring for 2 moms, raising 6 kids, the list goes on...)

She's funny

She gives the BESTEST hugs!!!!!

She wakes up in the middle of the night, whenever you need her, at any age.

She pretty much always knows what's best

She gets me...thats hard...

She truly is a Provb. 31 wife

She is the best mum, no really, need advice? Ask her!

She handles pretty much every situation with grace, humor, and calm

She goes with the flow

I pretty much married my Mum....they say girls marry a guy like their Dad, well, it's been proven over and over, I married my Mum. She has this positiveness about her that I wish I could attain. She is one of my best friends. I miss her every day now that she lives on the other side of the country. I'm pretty sure I could write on and on about her for days...but that wouldn't be fair to the rest of my fam :)

I love you Mum!

Family 1

I've been struggling a bit lately (if that wasn't already obvious...) so I thought I would try and lighten up a bit and tell you why I love my family so much! Since I have such a HUGE family, I thought I could share about each of them!

First up, the head of the clan!

I love my Dad because;

He strives to be the best he can be

He has always put the Lord first AND my mum second

He is a great storyteller

He gives good hugs

He is pretty smart

He is super good with kids (grandbabies?!)

He is such a hard worker...seriously, the jobs this guy has had!

He cares about people

He tells some funny jokes

AND

He never gives up on me....even though sometimes through the years, it made for some pretty tough times between us, he has always been able to see more in me than I can see in myself!

Love you Dad!

You know...

I feel like I'm drowning a bit....I'm overwhelmed with all this life "stuff"! I'm ready to have a little more smooth sailing if only for a month or so..... We have ridden a lot of tough waves since being married. I'm kinda not surprised that the "check engine" light is now on, on my car...kinda was the last thing running smoothly...yup, I'm complaining full force right now!

My sis sent me this, hopefully I can allow the words to speak to my soul....

Year two...

.Well, the K's are full force into year 2....

Let's recap year 1: Gram moves to heaven, parents and brother move to N. Carolina, sister moves to N. Cali.....Adjusting to marriage and living together. New job for me. New church. New life....

Year 2. Brother and sis-in-law find out they're moving to another country, and here's the kicker....MK's company is sold and we are now looking for a job for him.

Most days I think and feel like "how can I go on?!" "why God?" "how come "everyone" else life goes as planned?!"...i must stay focused though that, God has given us eachother, a place to live, food to eat, family who loves and cares about us and new possibilities!

"Trusting God" Is some times so much easier said than done for me BUT I'm indeed trying to Trust God in this. MK is taking this ok....he knows and see's God as our ultimate provider. And even though as part of His role as head of our house is to provide (and he is such a GOOD provider!) I know as well, that God will provide. Perhaps God sees fit that we are able to undertake (yet again) such a huge change. But man, can I just say? I could sure use a breather...I'm too emotional of a person for all this in one year....

Could I just ask for your prayers?! As we search and seek after God. As we continue to grow as husband and wife in yet another "adventure" And that through it all, may we keep an attitude that reflects Christ and honors Him!

Here's to many more "adventures" as hubby and wifey!

weekend...

was not the best as my hubs at a fever for most of it....made me realize how much I appreciate how he's usually a strong and healthy guy! This was the first time since we've been married, that he actually stayed home from work sick and let me give him medicine! I love him so much and it hurt me to see him in such pain :(

I laid awake for a while last night, trying to sort through a lot of thoughts...it hurt :) I just want to find a better niche than what I'm in right now...

I love summer days but so miss being a "kid" and how that meant you actually had a break :)

Well, here's to a new week!

Anniversary 2

Because we were gone last week, I didn't get to fully gush about our Anniversary :) So I thought I would do so a bit this week!

From our second date:

One of my favorite's from our wedding day:

I'm thankful for the lessons we've learned, for the times we've had to lean so much on each other that if the other wasn't there, we'd fall over...for the gift of being Mk's wife!

Anniversary

I feel like we could all pretty much agree that pinterest has some pretty great idea's but...this has got to be one of my favorites!
