Wow Its been awhile!!!

 Wow, it's been awhile since I've wrote in this! Guys, I totally forgot that I started this blog. Boy has a lot changed since my last posts. We are now 7 years into the restaurant business and we have added 12 rentals to our already busy lives. Retirement is all I keep telling myself. LOL. Anyways since posting last time I have been working PRN as a nurse at my local clinic still but making my own schedule do I can spend as much time with my kiddos as possible. In the fall of 2023 we started attending Bell Ridge Christian Church and fell in love with it. We ended the year with our kids getting baptized! 2024 started off great, Dustin and I were baptized and continued attending church every Sunday, making new friends. In March we had an unexpected visitor at church that rocked us to our core. It was a very very hard day for our whole family. We didn't know what to do, we didn't know if we should try to speak to them or if we should give space and let them come to us. As ...

The raw, ugly truth

 Hey guys! It's been a few days since I started this blog and a few days since I posted. Life is busy y'all. I mean when I was a kids life seemed so simple. Life was slow. Now as an adult I'm like gosh, time slow down, give me some down time. Time to breathe. Time to enjoy the moments. I feel like we are so rushed. Rushed every single day trying to squeeze in the most possible thing into the day. I'd be lying if I didn't say it's a struggle. As I sit in my house, the kids are at school, the husband is working and I'm thinking man I have so much laundry to do, the floor needs swept, the little bit of dishes needs done but all I want to do is just sit here. Soak in some downtime. Some time to breathe. But while doing that, laundry is continuing the pile up making it even harder to catch up. Ugh, motherhood is hard but so rewarding at the same time. Being a wife is hard, but so rewarding.  I got pregnant in high school, at the end of my senior year. I was scare...

First post!!

 Hi guys!     Almost a year ago I quit my full time job as a nurse. We have been in the restaurant business for almost 4 years now. I was trying to juggle working full time as a nurse, being a full time mom, a wife, and making all the desserts for the restaurant plus managing payroll for all my employees. I was working through a pandemic as well which was the icing on the cake. I was unhappy and so overwhelmed that I felt like I was drowning in life.      Fast forward to today I am feeling much better. I'm not so overwhelmed with everything in life and trying to keep up. Most days I am relaxed. I'm able to keep up with my daily to dos and not just want to avoid it all because it overwhelms me. I have recently thought "man, I just need something small for me to enjoy but not cause me stress." I was doing some research and thought blogging would be perfect. I'm not real sure anyone will read them or follow them but I would like to give it a shot so here I am ...
