C*mon out and dance...

This is something I wrote back in October... But I never put it in a blog. So here it is. Because I'm lazy and can't think of anything good to write lately. lol :o)

Sometimes we greet the morning with a smile and high hopes that it will turn out just as we had planned. What some people have yet to realize is that nothing is definite. Everything is a mere thought or simply an idea that we hope will fall through. But I’ve learned that in order to remain happy, you can’t expect anything. “Whatever happens, happens”, and no one ever told you anything differently. So what happens when you’re upset and it’s so far past your control? Remember those who smile ear to ear just from the sound of your voice. Those are the people who will always be there. Those are the people you can count on for anything. Who will never let you down on purpose, and never leave you on your own. People are always trying to live their life for themselves, without depending on anyone. Have you ever noticed that when it comes down to doing something for yourself, it’s important for all of 5 minutes? And let’s be honest, doing things for someone else is usually inconvenient or annoying. But doing something that you’re sharing with someone else means everything. All anyone ever wants is a witness; someone who will see all of your accomplishments and be truly happy for you because they are a part of you. And I’m talking about love; true, lively, on fire kind of love. The kind that forms from friendship…and that’s what life is all about.

Large and in charge...

I Have Reached The Boiling Point...

The third trimester is a trip, let me tell you. I can't even walk to the mailbox in under 15 minutes. I'm tired after doing the smallest jobs, and my feet look bigger suddenly. Which is totally depressing. On the other hand, baby girl is kicking a lot! Nick gets so excited. Soo cute, I can't wait to see them together.

I feel ready to run again! All this weight gain and lack of exercise made me realize
how much I missed being in track. I can't wait to start running again. You watch; my goal is to be able to do a 6 mile run by May. That means 8 months (post child-birth, during the winter months) to get down and dirty. I might hurt myself. lol

Anyway, that's my blog for today. I'm hot, and tired. Time for a nappp :o)

Love.

To be Christ-like...

What if you had the power to completely control someone else's life? Would you be more careful with it?; or would you have certain expectations of that person, being that you are the holder and their everything? Let's be honest. Even if that person spit in your face and totally denied that you ever had anything to do with them, would you still do nice things for them?; or would you be spiteful and do horrible things to get revenge?

So often we take advantage of God's love for us. We walk all over Him and honestly think that no matter what we do, it won't make a difference because He'll love us anyway; and He will, but why take advantage of that? Paul said that wherever there is sin, there is grace; but not to take advantage of that, because grace is not a license to sin. In other words, we're human so we're going to sin naturally, and regardless... And Jesus died on the cross for that reason, but that doesn't mean we are to use it as an excuse to sin. I felt that I should talk about this a little bit because so many people mis-judge the actions of Christians, and think that they have to be perfect. The motives of a Christian are always to please God, but mistakes are made in the process... We're all human, therefore we all have the same sin-nature... it's how we control and how we react to those instincts that set us apart from the worldly way of things.

Anyway. Hope this wasn't boring and actually stuck in someone's mind.
I'm off to relax with the hubby before bed. <3>

Til Death Do Us Part

I've been married for four months and it seems like we've been together forever. Things are completely different now then when we were dating, of course. It's hard when you learn each other's pet peaves, habits, and flaws. Working together only means getting through it.

Random note. It's 9:38am and I'm awake. This is one of the biggest changes in my life in 2 years. Before pregnancy, I would have just gone to sleep 2 hours ago! I miss the night life, but I love waking up in time for breakfast. =] Nick started welding school and wakes up at 8:00 Monday through Friday. We're both old and are sleeping by 10pm. Hahah.

Marriage. It's funny how some people go into it thinking "if this doesn't work, we can always get out of it." My view of marriage ever since I was small was this: You get married, you stay married. Til death do us part. When I was younger, it never dawned on me that Daddy's ever left Mommy's (or vise versa). It wasn't until I started getting older and talking to friends that I realized this happened daily around the world. What a let down! Don't get me wrong, things happen. But I'm talking about petty things that break people up. Work through it, just love each other regardless. I don't know everything there is to know about marriage, or even half of the things, but I do know how God wants us to treat each other.

--"And the two will become one flesh, so they are no longer two, but one; Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
- Mark 10:8

So that's my two sense. lol ...God has some good stuff, you should look into His Word when you get a free chance. <3

Leave comments. Be a follower! (of my blog, not of the world. lol)
Have a great Friday!

BeginninG.

I decided to take it upon myself and create a blog spot because Nick did... not because he did. But because I thought it was a good idea, so I did too. For those of you who don't know, Nick is my amazing husband. We've been married for four months; so far so good. =)

I guess for my first entry I'll share a little about me. Hopefully it will be enough to get you to come back again!
My name is Kaitlyn. Nick is my husband, best friend, lover, lifetime partner... other half, if you will. We are expecting our first baby girl on September 22nd;; Hailey Meredith. Our families together makes it a pretty huge family, and I love it! I now have six brothers and two sisters... two wonderful moms and two awesome dads.. and one extremely adorable niece. I also have a Labrabella.

Labrabella (n): A simple-minded, not-so-brilliant, half Labrador Retriever, half Poodle mix of excitement and amusement. Oh, and has a beard; male or not.

I work at a camp called Twin Pines helping to "beef up" and educate children of God. It's pretty sweet. I do secretarial work and answers phones and such. This is only until I decide to go back to school, for whatever God wants to use me for!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's enough about me for one post. Feel free to leave comments of any sort... (no negativity please)...

Tell me a story. Post a picture. ANYTHING... I'll love it.

Have a great Wednesday night!
