I can't wait...

We have this great plan...

We are going to take down the pool table in the game room currently and put two 6 or 8 foot tables up to be my scrapbook area in a L shape. I am so excited. This means I can really organize everything and leave it set out all the time. Of course this means we have to really call the guy to take down the table and then set up my stuff but I can't wait. I am almost a year behind in scrapbooking again. I have done from 2007 up until May 2010 so I need to get back to doing it.

Also still in this room with be the gaming tv and gaming consoles which will mean Dusty and I will be together more kind of by default but that is ok...Right?

I know Jaiden is going to want to play in there while I am working on my stuff which I already have a plan for...I am going to set up a tray table like the ones you eat dinner on ya know and let him color with me and use his OWN stickers while I do my own stuff. I know I won't be able to spend a lot of time working on this at home but even if I get one page or even one layout done a week or even a month that is better than nothing.

It has been some time...

Well Jaiden is now THREE...Can you believe it? We can hardly believe it ourselves. We had his third birthday party here at the house last weekend and everything went great.

I am just getting over being sick as well as Jaiden. I think Dusty finally got our sickness and is dealing with that right now.

I am still working for ILB in Riverside and Dusty is still working for SCE.

He just accepted a new job title with them which he is to start at the end of the month so we shall see how that goes.

Christmas was great with family and friends. We got to spend Xmas eve with just my dad and brother and his Fiance - Yes he finally asked Kristina the big question and she said YES!! Then on Christmas day we had breakfast at our house and then went to Dustys moms house for dinner and gifts. It was a nice day all the way around.

Looking ahead we don't have much planned, with Dusty starting the new job we won't be able to take much time off at first which is fine we will just have weekend plans which is fine with us.

I am so thankful to God for everything that I have in my life.

Thank you God.

Huge Milestone

I am ten pounds lighter than when Dusty and I got married - I am so happy and excited. I have lost over 38 pounds since May 2010 and I have about 34 more to go to be back to healthy and happy but slow and steady wins the race!

Me yes me, Heather, LOVES to work out now - I hit the gym almost everyday of the work week and then on the weekends I walk/jog with Jaiden -

I love how I feel, I love how I look

and for my 25th birthday 10-1-10 Dusty and I are going on a cruise.

Thinking...

I have been thinking a lot lately about a lot of things...Sounds funny I know but that is one of the reasons I love this blog, I can get my thoughts out on paper (well at least in front of me sort of) and some how it always makes me feel better.

Jaiden is growing up WAY to fast. Now when I ask him to do something he tells me, "Mommy, just one minute." Yes it is cute but I am sure he really understands what that means because he wants to finish whatever he is doing and then we can go or do what we need to do. Very sad to see that he is almost 3 and growing up so much.

Work is work and of course there is not much right now with the way the economy is that I can do about that. I just have to come to realize that it takes more to be negative than it does to be positive, so I try and do my best and chuck my tired unhappy attitude at the door and get done what I need to get done during my 8 hours here at this desk.

Marriage is WORK. No one ever told me it was going to be easy so I never thought that; but it is a lot of work to remain calm in all parts of a marriage and a family. Marriage is everything I wanted it to be and more, I love Dusty with all of my heart and I am so glad we are together each and every day of our lives and if we go a day without seeing each other because of work or other things it just seems odd, but we are two different people and we do have some different views on things! Just workin thru it. We will make it, I am not worried just takes time.

Family - now that is a whole different subject. I love our family of 3. Do I want one day for it to be a family of 4 - YES I do - is it time right now, only God knows that and when it is His time it will be right. I love that Dusty and I have created such an amazing little guy in Jaiden. He does have parts of both of us that is for sure. I love to plan things for the three of us to do, along with other family or even alone. We are going camping this weekend with Dusty's sister and her family and I can not wait. Jaiden loves to be with his cousins. On the other side of that, I love to do things just the 3 of us. I know Jaiden loves to spend time with mommy and daddy.

Money - WOW where do I begin. I truly believe that it is the root of all evil. No matter what you do, you always NEED it for the most part. The only thing that is really free to do is breathe air. Even taking Jaiden to the park costs us gas to get there, ya know what I mean. We do the best we can with what we have and we will make it, I just hate that everything we need or want costs us money. And then of course there are the unexpected items that come up that you have to take care also.

Friends. That is something that I am so incredibly THANKFUL for. I would not ask for better friends. I have the most amazing best friend in the world. We talk almost every day and I would not change that for the world. I know that I can turn to her for anything. I am so thankful that God has given me the friends that I have in my life. At one point I never really knew why I was in the places I am until I made a friend or someone or something impacted my life and then it hit me, THIS is why God has me here. I have met great friends from work, which as you all know is a place I do not want to be. I am so thankful that God placed me in the building for this time in my life. It is amazing the people that have come in and out of my life just because of work. I know that the two friends I have in my life now because of work are amazing. We recently spent a weekend in Vegas together and it was such a great trip. No stress, no fighting, no arguing. Overall it was just a nice trip. I know that God will take care of me and the people that he brings in and out of my life and truly I am so blessed.

All in all I have nothing to complain about in my life. I love my family and my friends and I am SO thankful to have a job even if it is not one that I really care for at the present time in my life. I know like I said there is a reason I am here and even if I don't know why now, God does and that is all that matters.

Contentment

I have two reasons for writing this blog about contentment.

con·tent·ment –noun - the state of being contented; satisfaction; ease of mind

My first reason is my Daily Devotions, I get from Leah Evaschuk, each and every morning in my emails.

The second reason is this is something that I am dealing with.

Here is Leah's Daily Devotion on this:
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in and and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Colossians 4:12-13
My Thoughts: Being content is a battle isn't it? Sometimes we say "Oh when this happens I will be content, oh when we get this bill paid then I will be content, oh when I get this item I will be content." That's not being content. It is possible to be content regardless of what you have or what you have achieved. It is possible to have all or nothing and your contentment still remain the same. Contentment doesn't come with what you have, if you always desire something then you will never be content, and not being content stirs up an unsettling soul. The ability to not be content leaves rooms for idols, and in turn only causes destruction. Not searching or finding contentment will make your heart heavy and it will be so hard to see all the beauty that you do have in your life. The secret to contentment is trusting God.
Pray & Reflect: What do you do to insure your contentment in your life? What could you do better? How are you trusting God in your life? Pray for these things, pray for each other, pray that we all may be content in every situation not asking for more, but say "thank you thank you Lord for what you have given"
I hope all of you have a wonderfully blessed day! I challenge you today to find contentment, when you start to say "oh if only I had, or I wish" take a step back and say "No, THANK YOU Lord for all you have provided, I will trust you, for you know my needs, you will never forsake me."


This was the email I got from Leah on Wednesday of this week, and it really hit me. I found myself through out the day saying, "Thank you Lord for all you have provdied for me and I am content."

It is so true that so many people go thru life each and every day saying, "I would be perfectly content if I just had this or that."

One of those persons is ME. I really needed this Daily from Leah to show me that there are so many things I already have in my life that I need to be content about. The life and love I have is enough to allow me to be content in this world. All the other things are just material items.

More than anything this post was just for me to share with you the great work one daily devotion has done in my life in just the past few days.

Look in your life and see all the things you already have that make your life content. Thank God each and every day for those things. We all have needs and God will provide.

What's New

New things...

In the beginning of May I, Heather, started Weight Watchers and so far as of today July 9, 2010 I have lost over 20 pounds.

Jaiden is 2 1/2 and he is almost fully potty trained. He maybe has one accident a week which is good, I think.

Dusty is still working in Redlands for Edison. He got his previous months stats and they are great. Good Job Babe!

Shopping Online

Shopping Online ~

I love shopping online - so easy to just get what you want and pay for it the only bad thing is shipping but oh well most of the time I wait for an email and get a discount or free shipping so it makes no difference. Of course clothes are the only hard thing to buy online since I am a big fan or trying stuff on!

This is all coming from the fact that I got Dusty TWO new shirts from Famous today. He never wants to get new clothes he always says just spend it on Jaiden so it was nice to get him something for once.


And of course I had to get something too so I got myself a Jacket!

Chuck E Cheese

Tonight we went to Chuck E Cheese with Dusty's sister and his mom and our two nephews John and Jimmie. It was a lot of fun. Jaiden hated the rides that moved until we went on a ride with John that did move and John made him seem ok about it. Jaiden loved putting the tokens in the machine then he didn't want to finish the game just wanted to put the token in and walk away, so that left Dusty and I to play the games.

Fires!!

Well the Oak Glen fire started on Sunday and we could have had issues from that so Dusty and I stayed home from work on Monday to pack up some things, then Monday afternoon a new fire broke out in Yucaipa and we had to be mandatory evacuated Monday night at around 8pm - it was very scary to think that we might not have a house to go back too. Dusty and I and all the family and animals ended up in different places which is very scary but we are going to be ok I am sure. Still as I sit here and type this I do not know if we have a house I will know something hopefully today. Please pray for us and all of the people around us and also all of the fire fighters and police working on this.

Ok so nothing really new Dusty started his new job on Monday and so far he said it is going good which is nice to hear for a change since meter reader was ya know sucky LOL well other than that I am just here at work. I have to go and get my retainer tomorrow a nice new 200 dollar retainer for my perfect teeth LOL - I know I should have worn it and I would not have needed to spend the money but that is my own fault huh? Oh well - And Jaiden will soon be 18 months old and is still getting some teeth and we have to take him to the dr on 7-10-09 I think for his 18 month check up hard to believe that he is already 18 months old. Well that is all for now, just wanted to complain that I am tired and it is only Tuesday!
