Guilty Pleasure

Have I ever mentioned to you how much I really really really like Star Trek? Well it's true. I, well we, just can't get enough of it. Here is some random trivia: We really did name our son Wesley after Wesley Crusher on Star Trek:The Next Generation and I frequently dream about being a part of it all. I think Star Trek changed the world and continues to change the world. It has sure changed mine.  ;)

Sunday morning go for a drive (or ride)

It's a line in one of my favorite beatles song. Also, I love to go for a long bike ride on sundays. I LOVE to ride my bike. It is sooo fun. I am sooo glad the weather is starting to be warm enough to ride.
This is a pic of my kids and their cousins at my brother's wedding. It was REALLY hard to get all of them to look and smile all at the same time.

Change = Good

This tree is in our front yard. I love to watch it change. We have three trees in our yard total. The last place we lived had zero. seriously. It was sad. I love trees. I love to watch them change as the seasons change. Right now there are tiny leaf buds on most of the branches. Within a few weeks this entire tree will be green and full.
I love change. This past year we have had a plethera of change in our lives.
I think learning to adapt to change is a huge commodity. Here are some changes that we have experiences in the last year:
- welcomed Francesca into the world
- bought our first house
- Justin has switched jobs. twice.
- Justin has graduated from college
- we got a newer car
- moved into a new city
- made new friends
- I lost 15 pounds
- we got a cat
Many other things have changed in our lives the last little while but listing them all would take me all day. I have been just overwhelmed with gratitude lately and I owe it all to my Heavenly Father. I felt like for a while there I was stagnant, just waiting, standing still not doing much with my life. But once we made a few little changes grand things started happening. I think that's what our Heavenly Father wants. He wants us to embrace change by learning and growing and just plain living the best life we can. Sometimes it's easy to stay in our comfort zones, for fear of failure or any other fear, but I think it's better to have lived and loved and tried and made the best of our time on earth than to sit there and watch the world go by.
This may not be making a whole lot of sense but to sum it up I say be the best you can be, you can do it!  :)
