What's YOUR Song Link-Up 35!

I swear I was going to blog everyday this week.... of course that didn't happen though!

Man one of these days I will figure out a schedule for my life that really works..

Maybe in a few weeks when I hit my second trimester

and don't spend the majority of my life laying down or barfing.

Seriously though... I am so sick of being sick

I can see the light though...

I am just over  12 weeks...

and with Kaylee when I hit my second trimester I was a lot better

so cross your fingers friends!!

Along with the whole pregnancy thing...

I have been having the craziest cracked out dreams lately

no doubt it's pregnancy

because I had some crazy ones with Kaylee too

It's getting kind of insane though.

And they are the kind of dreams that like... never stop

where you wake up..

and go back to sleep

and they pick right back up

Last nights I don't entirely remember

except that it was really hard on me

and I woke up very freaked out at one point in the night

but the cool thing was... when I went back to sleep

"Held" by Natalie Grant started playing in my dreams like a CD on repeat

This is the chorus:

"This is what it means to be held

How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know

That the promise was that when everything fell

We'd be held"

So as you can guess.... this is the song I decided to link up for Goodnight Moon's Link-Up.

I had a different song planned out... a lot more fun and upbeat

But this morning when I woke up and thought about this song

I knew I had to post it!

Because He is holding me... always.

In my dreams, in my nightmares, in my everyday life,

in my trials, in my good days, and in my bad

I am held.

And that is so reassuring.

You can listen to my song here

Have a Blessed Day

OH PS..... Be on the look out for my post about my first adventure with my sewing machine...

I am off to finish up project one right now!!

God Gave Me You -- What's Your Song Link-Up

This is going to seem totally obvious but lately more than ever I have been reminded by home completely much I adore my husband. The other day I was laying in bed thinking about the things he does that show me he loves me. I came up with a few, silly, but true things....

He gives me all the pillows if I really want them. This might seem silly but you see we have 7 pillows on our bed... and 9 times out of 10... I wake up with 6 of them... and him with 1... I am always really uncomfortable because of my Fibro and my back and all that good stuff (and now because I'm pregnant) and he will give me every single pillow if I ask... but I try to spare him 1 ;] haha

He basically lets me do whatever I want for dinner (especially lately while I am so 24-hours-a-day-sick morning sick and basically can't eat anything I cook because the process of cooking makes me want to hurl). He will take me somewhere else to get me whatever it is I want to eat... and the other night waited in two separate drive thrus with me for 45 mins to get sweet tea from one place and dinner from another. You see.... he hates being in the car... sooo this is a big deal!

He works really hard to make our house the best HOME that he can. You see... he usually honestly stresses me out when he starts all his big house projects... You know the Excedrin commercial? With the power washer and the wife? Yeah I often think that's my life haha BUT you see what he really is doing? Is trying to offer myself and our children what we both never had.. and for that I will love him forever.

He rubs my back all the time even when he really just wants to play video games or sleep he always does his best to make sure I am comfortable. And I love that about him.

I could go on forever but those are some of the really big ones... silly and yet totally perfect an honest... that and he is the BEST daddy ever. Kaylee gets SO excited when he walks through the door and they have a special time together every single night. (Our three year wedding anniversary is next week too!!)

So with that being said... for this week's What's Your Song Link-Up I chose God Gave Me You by Blake Shelton. This is one of my favoriate songs right now and I turn it up really loud in the car and sing my heart out to it while thinking about my mister man... cheesy I know... This Link up is hosted by one of my fav bloggers and sewing inspiration Amber which you can check out over at Goodnight Moon. She is hilarious and so fun to follow so don't miss her posts! Plus... she always has the BEST giveaways! Right now she is giving away a free copy of Spooky Buddies head here to enter the giveaway! I seriously Hope I win because Kaylee is DYING to see this and gets SO excited every time the commercial comes on!!!

Road Trip... Ohio Bound!

A few weeks ago we went on a nice like 8ish or so hour road trip from our new home in Maryland out to Ohio to see my husband's great grandma. Yes, this means my daughter has a GREAT GREAT GRANDMA! It was such a sweet time together just enjoying family time and relaxing! We didn't really go anywhere or do anything special; just played games and enjoyed each others company. We will remember this forever! The only hard part was I didn't have my blender for shakeology ;] haha She lives in an adorable one bedroom apartment so there was no room to really workout and we ate all kinds of good grandma's cookin! We enjoyed it and once we got home we got right back on track!

 Seeing Great Great Grandma for the first time ever!

 Her fav place to nap while we were there!

 Sad to leave!

 Look at the smile!

 Nothing like a nice relaxing evening in the pool after an almost 9 hour drive home! yay

All in all.. it was a great week!!
