A Reminder for me

So it's been a not-so-great week. There has just been a lot of stuff going on and it's been busy and frustrating at times. I spend a lot of time in my car every day/week so my music is often changing and can really effect my mood and my outlook.

Earlier this week, I downloaded some music from Francesca Battistelli and have been listening to it pretty much nonstop.

Many times this week this song has been blasting in my car:

I lost my keys
in the great unknown
And call me please
'cause I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
sirens and fines
when I'm running behind

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

To break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world

This is the stuff You use


So when my already not-so-great week ended with me getting in a wreck on the way home from work this evening, I had to remind myself that a wreck with no damage to me and minimal damage to my car is NOT the end of the world.

Babies Babies Everywhere

So I feel like every time I turn around someone else I know is announcing they are pregnant. 2 of my best friends at work are having babies this Spring and Summer so they are busy preparing for little ones.

I have always loved babies. In fact, I have been asking when we are going to have a baby in our family since I was about this age:

And my wish is finally coming true!! Over Christmas we found out that my brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first baby at the beginning of September. I am so excited for them and excited to be an Aunt and spoil baby reed :)

They are pretty excited too
