You know how most times, people just post about how completely wonderful their life is and how nothing is wrong, like ever? And you know that it's never all that they say that it is?
Well, my life is really all that. All that and a fresh baked cookie!
Okay, maybe not that awesome.
But, i am super happy.
I'm enjoying my time at home.
I'm enjoying helping out another family with their 5 kids.
I'm enjoying living within a budget.
I'm enjoying cooking most every night and trying new recipes (especially when they turn out awesome!)
I enjoy cleaning my house.
I enjoy reading my scriptures for a good half hour every day. Followed by a Conference Talk.
I enjoy exercising in the gym or with Bob Harper on the Wii's Biggest Loser game.
I am really happy.
Okay, okay, so not everything is fairy tale perfect. I would love to be able to buy things just for the fun of it.... To see something in a store and pick it up for Dustin just because. But now I have to constantly think, "is that in the budget?" Usually it's not. We used to be able to buy whatever we wanted. But I don't really miss it. I like not splurging on every little thing. I feel like I have a lot more self discipline. And staying in our budget will keep us self reliant. Which i love.
I also would still like a baby. I haven't started back on any clomid or have gone to see a doctor out here. We have zero insurance, but we do have money in our HSA still.... Not to sound selfish, but I am enjoying this time to myself and with Dustin. Just the two of us. Maybe it was that we were in my parent's house for a year, maybe it's that we're in a new area and I'm still adjusting to the changes... But I'm okay that we're not having a baby right now. We're not giving up on it, we're just not aggressively working on it with medication. The de-stressing, exercising, enjoying life can only help my body.
So yeah, not everything is perfect. But I am SO Happy. Have I said that enough yet? I have a good life. So good that I can blog this while watching The Price is Right. PS They tried to give away a freaking nice BMW today on The Golden Road. The chick lost. Too bad.
Yeah, I have a pretty good life.

I am so happy for you! I do none of those things:(
I think that life sounds wonderful and most importantly I think everyone just has to be content and happy with the things in their life in each phase. I totally agree about living within a budget, there is kind of a confidence that comes from telling yourself no :). You will be such a great mom when you have kids so I think it is fabulous to enjoy time with just you and Dustin because once there are kids it is changed forever, and while I love my kids-I would love to have had more time before it changed :) so don't feel selfish for enjoying the time, please enjoy it for me! Love you Brianne!! Sorry this is so long!
