Lately, I've Been Thinking...

... that taking a few days off of blogging can be a good thing
... thinking how I often try and make it on my own strength and not HIS
... about a lot of new changes that are coming up
... a new 'school' season will soon begin
... the calendar will begin to be filled again
... how I am not ready to make my 1st grader wear a belt everyday {he hates belts}
... thinking that I need to cut my hair short 
{thats take MAJOR thought}
... deciding to take on a fear head on even though every bone in my 
body is telling me not to
... praying that I can teach my boys about respect and character even at a young age
... thinking about how I can't wait to put on
 my favorite hoodie 
... thinking about how I care WAY to much about what everyone else thinks
... praying I can change that so I don't 'pass' it on to my boys
... thinking how this summer has gone by way to fast
... but then being so ready for the leaves to change
... that fear is something I never really knew was a huge struggle for me
... thinking I have found some freedom in being myself with a few of my dear friends
... wondering if anyone else does random dance moves while watching 
So You Think You Can Dance?
... wondering if while I am running if anyone has seen me practice my zumba moves
... not really caring even if they have
... still wondering what my life will look like with all my boys soon in school
... and wondering if that will be my time to go to Haiti or Africa on a missions trip
... thinking how refreshing it has been to simply write what is going on 
inside this brain of mine
... and thankful for all of YOU who so graciously
 allow me to do so

The question asked around the world...

Are you guys trying for a girl?

{sigh}

That question has come to annoy me. Sometimes, if I am being honest it offends me. Why? It's almost as if my three adorable little men aren't enough. Like our family is incomplete due to the missing va-jay-jay. Maybe I am just being a tad bit sensitive or maybe, deep down, I want a little lady to come rock our world. Anyway, I get that question a lot. And while I usually like going into a discourse about how it shouldn't matter if we have five boys or seven girls or thirty elephants, I always say the same thing... Nope. Not right now. We are happy with our boys.



And it 150% true.
One million percent true.
Times twenty.




I can't imagine my life with a girl, now. We are so crazy in love with our little crazy men that I'm not sure we would have room in our hearts for another. Oh, who am I kidding? I know that there's always room. I truly just want what the Lord wants for us. For our family. To be honest... I struggle daily with what that is. I found out that 99.99% of our friends are 'fixed'. Which makes me question if I really want to be done to. I guess it's like everything in life. Whether your 15 or 31 years old you have different types of peer pressure. For me, for our family, we are at a stand still. {Which is okay} Could I possibly love another child like I love these little men? I mean, I didn't think my heart could have love for another baby and my sweet baby {toddlerish} little man has completely stolen my heart? So, maybe the room situation isn't actually a situation.  For now, we are content. What about you? Are you done popping out the babies? Do you want more kids? Are you adopting? I would love to hear YOUR story!
