Man we were livin'......

Sorry I know this is a serious/spiritual post, but I've had an Ah-Ha moment, so I wanted to share.....

So it is not any surprise to any of you who have talked to us in the past several months (or year and a half since we moved) we have been faced with many trials and struggles in all shapes, sizes, and varieties. We have had many good times (as you have seen in previous posts), but what seems like so many hard times too. It is so easy to get caught up in the misery that trials can bring, and all too often we only focus on the bad things happening around us and don't see the little things that make life so good. 

Lately Patrick and I have been kinda caught in this, and wishing we would have what we call a "man we were livin' moment". Then yesterday at church we got the gentle reminder... ok... kick in the butt, that we are in control of our own happiness and to just find joy in the journey because there are so many little things all around us everyday that are "man we were livin' moments". 

This is one of those..... so I ran to get my camera so we could remember it....

Conner is jammin out while listening to Patrick's IPod. This is one of his favorite songs because it's from the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks. It's "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. He bobs his head and sings mostly the wrong words every time he hears it and it is just HILARIOUS!!!!!  I'm kinda bummed the quality of the video isn't as good once I loaded it onto Blogger, but its still funny and I laugh every time I watch it!

So since this is the week of Thanksgiving, I am taking the time to remember that I am really truly so incredibly blessed! I have an amazing husband who loves me unconditionally, 2 wonderful boys that bring such joy and laughter to our lives, awesome friends who I can count on, and an incredible family! And for all those things, I can't even put into words how grateful I am!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!
