Stuff, stuff and more stuff...

It's been awhile. If I had written this blog post a week ago Monday it would have turned out much differently than it's going too. It probably would have read something like this... "BLAH!". I've been stressed lately, but that's nothing new really. I'm always stressed. For proof you can see this previous post. Matt and I are happy. We just had a house warming party, and now that that's over I'm A LOT less stressed, haha. In all seriousness though, it was REALLY fun, and it was so great to see so many people come celebrate with us! Thanks to those of you who read me, and who came! We love you. :)  I also made quite a few things (recipes) I found on Pinterest and now I feel pretty accomplished. ;)  Anyway, what I really wanted to write about in this post is just the sense of peace I've had lately. I had been so stressed, and just so irritable that I new I needed to do something. My mom and I went to the Temple last Tuesday and it had been awhile since I'd been. Wow. I really need to make going a habit. I just prayed to Heavenly Father to please help me be more patient, less stressed and more proactive in changing the things I want changed. I've realized that I need to remember to be more grateful for the things I do have, and not worry about the things I don't have, or the things I can't change. I've felt incredibly grateful for my sweet hubs more than anything lately. He's just the best. But I'm also grateful for my friends, my family, my job, Matt's job, a roof and warm home. Just everything. Cars, heaters, sunlight, clouds, rain and all kinds of stuff (literally everything, gosh... maybe I'm manic...jk). Other than feeling incredibly grateful for everything, and planning then executing a party (the first at our house) not much has been going on. But I will ask, if you haven't already seen (on Facebook) Matt is applying for a new position at work that comes with a raise and hopefully better hours. Please pray for him. That he will at least be able to get an interview and that he will interview well. After that it's in the Lord's hands. Thanks to all of you who have stuck around and continue to read my scatterbrained, non-cohesive, and irregular blog posts. I appreciate it! Til next time...
