Counting our Blessings!

When we lived in our apt. I was struggling bad. I wasn't happy, I hated where we lived, I hated that all and I mean ALL my neighbors smoked and I had to take my kids out and make them breathe that, I hated that there was trash and cigarette buds everywhere. I prayed everyday that we could get out of that apt. I hated when people said, "well its no big deal you don't have a back yard there is a park right by you." Well its hard to go when someone is always napping or your kids have homework or you don't feel good. I hated that we could hear the neighbors screaming curse words at each other and other things.

When we had Mason we were literally busting out of the seems. I felt like we were barely keeping our heads above water. I can not express enough how grateful I am to my parents and Matts parents for helping us to get back into a home! Even though money is still super tight, the kids still get sick, I fell like I can handle it all because we have a home. I love our house so much. I love our new ward, our neighbors, I love that the big kids can run out in the backyard and I don't worry about them. I'm not saying life is easy or perfect, but it sure feels good to see the kids thriving and able to call a place HOME! Thanks Mom and Dad & Dan and Susan what a Huge blessing for your children and grandchildren!

 

This week Mason went on the swings for the first time. He was so happy. He laughed so hard. I love to hear my kids laugh.
