|{ Too Optimistic? }|

I was on Facebook today (just like every other day) and one of my friends said something that made me think.

She posted a status and someone said they wished that Facebook had a dislike button, which is of course a common wish among Facebook users.  Then my friend said that she wished she had a dislike button and that sometimes Facebook is too optimistic.

It just made me all of sudden kind of glad that there isn't a dislike button! Of course there are plenty of things that go on in everyone's lives that aren't positive, that's life.  What's so wrong with being the kind of person who looks on the bright side?! I hope that I can make more of an effort to see all of the blessings and good things in my life and not focus on the negative quite so much!  I want to be 'too optimistic'!

So thanks Facebook for actually teaching me something good today! :)

I hope you all have a bright, joyful, and optimistic week!!

|{ So In Love }|

Let me just start by saying.... I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

No, things are not perfect and there is a lot of stuff going on right now that I would rather not deal with, but as a whole...my life is amazing!! It all boils down to the fact that I have such an amazing man at my side.  If it weren't for him and the love he has for me, then life would be so much harder to handle.

I tend to find that if things are good with us as a couple, then things are good with life in general.  He IS my life...

We finally started watching and got caught up with The Bachelorette and I was watching it and thinking (and saying) "Aww, how cute.... He's so adorable..." and all those other mushy, cute, disgusting adorable things... I realized how incredibly blessed I am to have my husband.  Instead of looking at those people and thinking "I wish I had that", all I think about is how amazing it is that I DO have that.  I am have not been left wanting when it comes to love and marriage.  How did I get so lucky...it leaves me speechless...breathless...

I was on the phone with my Mom the other day and we were talking about marriages and divorce and love and life and she told me that even though Jon and I have been married for 4.5 years that we still act like newlyweds and that was so good to hear from her!! I am constantly in awe of my husband and the love that we have and the way that we continue to treat each other.

So, just to let you know...

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH JONATHAN PETERSON!!!
