May was a good month

I was reflecting the other day and realized that we were incredibly blessed last month! It was a very eventful 31 days!



May gave us. . .





A house. . .



A puppy we have completely fallen in love with. . .


A stronger relationship. . .



A raise. . .



Work benefits. . .



A birthday. . .



A party with our old ward friends. . .



The sun, FINALLY. . .


Acceptance for Mike to work with his mentor of choice this fall at grad school. . .

. . .and so many other little things that I can't even list them all! I am so glad that even though we had doubts about buying the house, Mike going back to school, etc - we followed through with what we felt we were supposed to do, what Heavenly Father's plan was for us even though it meant sacrifice - and we have been blessed tenfold in return!

What made me reflect on all this was something Mike said a few days ago while we were snuggling under the covers in our new bedroom with Pocket (yes, I admit it - since she sometimes wakes up as early as 5am and starts crying, we sometimes get lazy and desperate for sleep and just let her come into bed with us). Out of the blue he said, "are you happy?" and I thought for a minute and said, "yeah, I am" to which he replied, "it's nice, isn't it?"

And it is. It is nice to feel like after everything that's happened the past few years, things are finally falling into place and we can finally start our lives.

Anyway, Pocket's been napping on me and she somehow keeps shifting more and more onto the keyboard, so I better get off the computer while I still have a few keys to type with. Tehe! She just opened her eyes, looked at me, and gave one of her HUGE yawns where she makes the cutest little "ahhhh" noise! Life is good!
