Thankfulness Day 139:: Living with the Rents

Have you ever lived with your parents while you're married?  How about with kids too?

In the beginning it seemed easy to say I live with my parents because it had only been a month or so and I knew Huzz would land a job and we would be on our way.  Right?

But now after 15 months, well it's embarrassing. I don't want to tell people as easily as I did before.  I find that my faith was unshakable for a long while so nothing could question my trust in the Lord.  However the past couple of months have done their number and I'm now on wobbly ground.

I don't know how I got here but it doesn't feel good and I want my Faith back!  Living with my parents is a blessing and can also be very hard.  So I'm praying for answers, I'm praying for increased endurance to get through this time, and I'm praying that I will see God's hand in all of this.

Until then, my name is Cheri and I live with the Rents.

Today I am thankful that I have family who will take us in.

Thankfulness Day 138:: Dear Laundry

Dear Laundry,

We've been spending time together for four days now.  Just when I think we have nothing more to say to each other another child pees his sheets and so we meet again.

I don't like you.  I'm sorry but you smell...and not in a good way.  My kids like you alot though.  They enjoy spilling drinks and wiping peanut butter on their clothes so they can see us together.  I don't share their view though.  I try to put off our meetings but you get angry at me and multiply over the days.

I wish you would just go away, fold yourself, and come back clean.

See you tomorrow,
Cheri

Today I am thankful for having a home to do laundry in and NOT having to walk to a Laundromat!

Thankfulness Day 137:: praying for a miracle

Did you notice that I now have a button????  Don't forget to 'Grab My Button' and put in on your blog! It's to the right ------------------------->

I'm also gearing up for a photo shoot July 6th with my amazing photographer friend Alli!  So if you have an adorable daughter that just needs to be in my pictures please let me know!

Well we are already coming up on July so it's time to pray for a miracle!  I REALLY want to move out in July and have our own place by July 25th our Anniversary.  I don't know why it's so important to me but it is.  So I'm praying that God would make that happen but it would mean a miracle on the job front and us finding a great deal with renting a 3 bedroom.

So join me in pray this week for God's will for our lives, that our passion and desires would match up with His, and that our strength would be renewed during this time!

Today I am thankful for hope.

Thankfulness Day 136:: New Hurley Jacket

New Jacket.....Hurley......$20.  Jealous???  Well you could have had one too if you came to the sale! 

Seriously the Hurley stuff was sooooo cheap!  $2 running shorts for girls, $5 board shorts, $5 tshirts!  Now that is cheaper then the Hurley Warehouse sales!  So next time, listen to me and come because you won't regret it! 

I'm going to go make a statement in my bright yellow jacket just so I can tell SOMEONE how cheap I got it!

Today I am thankful for great deals and meeting new friends.

PLUS you get to visit me and I love to see my friends AND meet new people!

Thankfulness Day 135:: Now that's love

We all have a "ugly" school picture from a time in our lives when we just didn't know or care what we looked like.  It's usually in the tween years when you feel like you don't fit in but want to so badly! 


This is mine::

Stop laughing.  Seriously.  Okay I'm laughing too, it's funny!  I had a uni-brow, no straight iron, and some great pearly whites hidden behind metal.  This is my 'ugly' photo.  However when I went to show my hubby he exclaimed that I looked cute and then followed it up today with 'I'd date you.' 

Thanks Huzz.  You get me.  Or know you that it wouldn't last forever?  Either way it was the best thing to say and that's why I love you!  Anyone else DARE to post your 'ugly' photo???

Today I am thankful that I now know how beautiful I am because I'm created in God's image.

Thankfulness Day 134:: Innocent to Irrational

Could you say No to this face???  Seriously he gets me everytime!  This was Nash about 1 1/2 years ago but he still has this innocent face that gets me!  Today he came over stroked my hair and said "I love your hair mommy" then stroked my face and said "I love your face too mommy".  2 minutes later he's screaming at me because he can't have a Popsicle at 7am.  Alas, he still gets me everytime.

Today I am thankful for this 2 year old and his wide range of emotions :)
