This thing called happiness.

Life is moving fast. I was just talking with my good friend today about how crazy fast our babies have grown and grown and it doesn't look like it's going to stop at this pace anytime soon. But, I'm okay with that because I have to look up and ahead. After my many struggles with thinking a house/car/marriage/baby might make me happy, I am realizing that even though God is blessing me with those things, they are all HIS, not mine, HIS. I graciously have accepted these gifts that I know I am undeserving of anything including grace. You see, there's this thing called happiness and it really has very little to do with where we are at in life but how content we are with our wonderful Father and believe truly that He is enough. I guess, slowly I am learning this and in the meantime, He didn't punish me for not "getting it the first time okay 100th time" but rather as He is teaching me, He is still blessing me. I don't really get that kind of love and know that it isn't always this way, but I'm excited and thankful for this season of our life. And by the way, we get to move into our house in a few weeks. I have so many things I want to do to it already. It's like the biggest art project, ever. Paint, hardware, design, shopping, lighting, furniture, planting and a pool cover, yes I said pool; it has a pool. I have always wanted a pool and I know I live in Seattle, but for those 3 months out of the year we can use it, it'll be worth it. You can come and swim in our pool anytime, after all it's God's pool, not ours:) It's pretty freaking exciting! So I guess I am really happy with God and my life. So, I'm going to go celebrate with my amazing husband. Okay so the pictures are just some randoms of the summer, but I thought I'd throw some in. Trevor's graduation, vacation in the O.C., Sam and my getaway weekend, etc...
