Good enough

Do you ever feel like there is so much more you could or should be doing? That is how I have been feeling lately. The only thing is I have no motivation to change any of it. Motivation might not be the right word. I feel like who I am today is who I am for right now. I have no idea what the future holds or what might happen that might influence me as a person. I tend to think about the high school version of me and today's version. I am happy with who I am at this point.

Personality

HS - I was quit, awkward, shy, a people pleaser, a good kid. 

Now - I am more outspoken, independent, determined, outgoing, friendly. I stand up for myself.

Physical Appearance

HS - I want to completely for get my Freshman year. So I was lazy, had no interest in making myself presentable, cut all of my hair off, tried modeling, not confident in who I was.

Now - I am still lazy but working on it. I still don't consider myself a girly girl. I do wear more makeup and try and look presentable when I leave the house. I do feel more confident in who I am.

Love
HS - Hmmmm...I loved my parents and brothers as any teen does. I loved Caleb as much as my heart new to love.
Now - Every day I learn that love is different. Love is amazing and hard at the same time. Making sure that the people in my life know I love them. My love for Caleb is completely different now. I look at him in so many more ways and have found more ways to love him. I now have so much love for my son. I have no idea where my heart had more room to give but it feels great.

Overall
HS - There are a lot of things I would do differently if I could.
Now - I think that sometimes being an independent woman can be a good thing and a bad thing. I think as I have gotten older I have become more selfish and I can admit that. As I continue to grow and change I think I may hurt or let people down. I am sure I could be a beter person. There is a lot more I should be grateful for. I should do more service for others.  I should make more time for the people in my life. I should be a better friend. The thing is...at this point I am happy with who I am. I don't feel bad for the things I do or don't do. I am who I am and for now that is good enough.

Bothered...

Church today

Today we went to church for the first time since bringing our little guy home. We had no idea what to expect. It didn't start off to great. I blame it on being nap time. Caleb's younger brother blessed their new baby today. After some time had passed out little guy was out for the count. We laid him next to me on the bench until the meeting was over.

Little brother

Last night my little brother proposed to his girlfriend. 

We are so happy for them. 

Congrats to you both. We love you.

Something to think about

(I need to remember the last one.)

Working out....or not...

Since we decided to do the dirty dash Caleb has been going to the gym. Me on the other hand....not so much. I have not found the motivation to get up and get going. I am afraid of straining my relationship with the couch. See...the couch and I have something really special going on. Maybe motivation will find its way into my heart sooner than later. Only time will tell.

*** I really am proud of my husband. When he sets his mind to something he sees it through. At this point he will have to pull me through the mud.

Dirty Dash

A few people at Caleb's work were trying to put together two dirty dash teams. A male and female team. Well needless to say Caleb and I signed up. I believe it is the first weekend in June. I cannot tell you the last time I ran 5 miles let alone in the mud. I guess we will have to wait and see what mess we have gotten ourselves into.
