Looking forward

So there are some very good blessings taking place in our life right now.
My husband, bless his heart, got another job from one of our fellow ward members here in the ward we live in.  Honestly, they are the biggest blessing we have because if it wasn't for them, we would still be overwhelmed with trying to find another job right now for him.  Thankfully, this job is in the same town as his school so he won't have to commute to 2 different places anymore!!!!
Double blessing.  And on top of it, the gentleman he works for, works for a college in a neighboring town, so he's giving financial aid tips to my hubby and I so that way, we can get the best bang for our buck.

I have so much to be grateful for in my life.  Sometimes it can be hard because when you constantly worry about what's not going to happen, it keeps you from enjoying what you have currently right in front of you.

I sadly am a perfect description of this.  I worry so much about the future.  My husband constantly tells me I shouldn't because it's not in my control.  He figured that out after he got out of highschool which is why he knows it's possible to survive without the worry or guilt.  That's why he's my rock.  He helps me realize that no matter what happens, there will be a blessing behind a door for us to open.

I think one of the hardest times I realize what blessings I have is when I'm at home alone with nothing to do.  I finally finished all my big projects which was making aprons for the sister missionaries and making a decorated letter for my daughters room. (Pictures coming soon!)

It's hard when I have the fussy baby, who wants me to hold her but wants to be moving around at the same time.  Undecided, on what she wants.  I can tell she's tired but she won't do anything that resembles sleep.  So it's time's like that when I'm doing what I can to be patient, and she's throwing her head back and screaming at the top of her lungs.  Let me tell you, that's the hard part about parenting.  Not the hardest, but one of the trials that every parent must face.

Thankfully she fell asleep after I did my "10 minute rule" with her.  For those of you not familiar with that, it means that I give her 10 minutes to herself in her crib.  Usually with some music and a pacifier toy, so she can cry out her frustration.  Because sometimes that's all she needs to unwind.  I don't do this all the time I would hope, but when it's times like this when she's screaming and everything I try isn't working after cuddling, rocking, nursing, walking around while holding her etc.  That's when I result to this rule.

So I guess in conclusion to this post would be that, the future shouldn't be something to freak out over and naps are my best friend.
