Grateful Heart Monday

Lately I've been feeling overwhelmed and stressed and I've noticed that I've been freaking out over the little things too much. So it's definitely time to step back, take a breath, and remind myself what's good in my life.

Well, I'm most definitely grateful for my children and my family. I'm so incredibly blessed to have two beautiful, caring children and a loving husband. My kids couldn't be more perfect. OK yes, they do get way too loud and fight with each other way too much, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. Even when I'm trying to talk on the phone with Amanda and it sounds like I have Tourette's. I'm grateful that when we leave the house my kids are the most well-behaved gorgeous children and everyone they meet just gush over them! 

My husband has been so incredible lately. A lot of my blog readers don't know this, but Josh suffers from depression and he's bi-polar. It's incredibly difficult to live with, and it's been a huge adjustment for me to learn about these disorders. It take a lot of patience to realize when he's having an episode that he's not mad at me. Well, he's finally found an amazing doctor and he's on a good balance of medicine to where he's not a zombie and he enjoys interacting socially. (I don't have to drag him out of the house to see people anymore). We've also been seeing a marriage therapist to work on some things in our relationship, and I highly recommend this to anyone having a "rough patch" in their relationship. Our therapist has opened  up new forms of communication and the "spark" is back between us. 
Aren't we just disgustingly cute?
Finally, I'm grateful for my new bloggy friends. I seriously love these ladies that I've gotten to know lately. (Ashley, Lora, Meagan! just to name a few) I know it's been said a million times by several bloggers, but if you're new to blogging (like me!) commenting makes a huge difference! You never know who you might get connected to, and you may end up with a fun new friend. 

What are you grateful for? Happy Monday! Let's make it a good week.
