Everything happens for a reason

My new life motto - "Everything happens for a reason". Well not new but something that keeps implementing itself in my life more and more.

Last week felt like a dump truck emptied out on me. I'm tired, worn down, and just not happy with where I'm at. It doesn't help that we have a teething baby and are getting no sleep. It definitely toys with your emotions! We have been trying to improve our credit for the last 4 years and its still not good enough, I'm still not pregnant and we've been trying for almost a year, Matteo has been horribly fussy with teething and diaper rashes, Ryker has a cough that refuses to go away (all of my kids have dr's apts in the next two weeks), I'm trying to get into the doula thing but its not working the way I want it to, trying to figure out the adoption thing, counting down to find out if Zach made staff, figuring out the VP thing for my club, Jaidyn's birthday is in two weeks, and life is getting a bit overwhelming. Not to mention, keeping everyone happy.

What I have got out of that, is that there is a reason this is happening to me. Maybe to make me more grateful? More humble? Maybe we're not pregnant cause we need to adopt? Or maybe its just not the right time? Who knows but I do know there is a reason. Something better has to be out there for us.

We have some awesome friends who are going to let us rent-to-own their house which is a HUGE blessing. We are going to an adoption meeting next month and looking more into that. I applied for a job and hopefully will get it. Everything will work out and I have hope for this year to get better.

I have such a wonderful support system here. I don't know what I would do without my friends. Even the friends I've met at different bases or from back home. I have some amazing people in my life and I know I would not be sane without them!

Life will not get me down and I am making the best of every situation. I have awesome friends/family, wonderful children, a supportive husband, and a roof over my head. All in all, it is what YOU make it :)
