ever have one of those days??

I feel like I have had several weeks of those days, and just when things seem to be getting better my feet are kicked out from under me (not unlike what happened to Miss USA last night - I have to admit we laughed... is that mean?? probably but it seemed like poetic justice).

Anyway, sadly I haven't be very good at "counting it all joy" until I started to notice others that are going through equally tough and/or worse trials than myself. I had let frustrations make me more and more self centered, "and that ain't right" ;)

Anyway, I was trying to look at blessings and gifts God has given me in the midst of it all and found so many. It's people. Things can go wrong aplenty, and people can seemingly kick you while you're down, but there have been a greater number of people that pick me up - that dust me off and help me get back in the game. For that I am very greatful.

Thanks friends - I love you... <3

Please note this poster is in no way supposed to reflect anything in this post... I just thought it was funny. YOU are valuable! (if not to me then to someone I'm sure... kidding :D, just kidding )

and... we're back

It was quite the trip, hectic doesn't even start to cover. I thought for a few days there that we may not make it back alive. No joke.

I think after a few weeks of therapy I may be able to write about it here. I'll get to work on that. In the mean time I just thought I'd say... I'm going to make up a new blog for anyone that wants to download wedding pictures... I'll call it schienbeinruthwedding -nice and complicated I know!
