Beach Date

P and I have been having some problems. Nothing major, we fight and banter about ridiculous things. Why he didn't pick his laundry off the floor, or why I didn't do the dishes (at Midnight) Crazy minor stuff really. In all of this I think we both might have overlooked how blessed we are. We have two amazing and beautiful little boys and we have each other. Both of us can honestly count on the other 100% of the time. We have made it this far and we are going to go ALL the way. This commitment we made was forever, and we will make it forever because we love each other problems or no problems.

We decided to take a day trip to OBX just the two of us, my mom kept the boys (thanks Mom!!) and we really did enjoy most of the day. We didn't know NC didn't sell alcohol until noon, but we didn't let it damper our spirits it was just a slight breakfast fail...but we moved on and headed to the beach, when it was noon we went and got beer.

Later in the afternoon, I had this great idea to go Kayaking (WORST IDEA EVER.) We fought the whole way there, because we got lost, it was literally in the middle of freaking no where. Once we got in the damn double kayak we continued to fight because P decided we should do alligator river, and Bob our damn tour guide kept going on and on about how big the "gators" in this river could be. I was like in a full blown panic attack and absolutely use-less as far a kayaking buddy. We made it though. I didn't get eaten by an alligator either.

On the way home, it seemed way quicker than actually drive down there, I think that actually happens all the time though. I felt like I had been away from the boys FOREVER, I was so glad to see them! They enjoyed their time with their Mimi too.

Religion

This is always a touchy subject; People aren't raised the same. (DUH) I was raised Catholic, growing up until my mother and father divorced and then we stopped going.

When I got pregnant with N, my now MIL and P encouraged me to go to church. Naturally I went where P grew up and his mom still goes. I absolutely love the church we have recently become official members and will raise our children in that church. P started attended that church when he was like 8 or 9; and has been going on and off since. I wanted to become members of the church to show our dedication to God, our religion, our friends and family at church and I also liked the accountability. We now had people that held us accountable for attending most Sundays. Obviously they aren't going to call if you skip a Sunday or two...but if it goes like five or six, they are going to call wondering what is up. Another thing I love about church other than God, is the relationship that build from the sense of community. P and I have moved a lot throughout the years and have never really developed a sense of neighbors. We have never been able to ask for a cup of sugar or a couple eggs, but with these new friends it's totally do-able.

I have been told religion isn't for everyone, but I love my God and he is certainly is working in my life.

Busy

Many would say I am too busy. I put my hand in a lot of pots per say and sometimes over do it. I sometimes have to be reminded I am only one person and I can only do so much. I am so in love with the idea of being super mom, super wife, super student, and super-woman; I sometimes let it go to my head and I just say yes to things almost to say I did it.

I don't want to live my life by check boxes. I don't want to have a list and feel successful when I complete a number of tasks. To fix this error I have been making, I'm just going to go and do things because I want to...freely and hopefully at random.
Pray that I am successful in seeking these goals, of not living by a list.

New Blog

I am the Beach Lovin' Momma. I have blogged a many of times before. We have a family blog, and a baby blog, and I'm currently helping my sister write her wedding blog. I enjoy reading and writing, it's probably the reason I am an English major at the local college. I created this blog as a form of ambiguity so I can shield my family so I can talk about the good, bad, and ugly.

It may not always be pretty but it's always the truth.
