Let Me Count The Ways...

I was reading Moo's latest post and it got me to thinking about MY life.

You know when people ask you, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" Well, I never thought I'd accomplish all that I have in the last 5 years. There's still so much left for me to do but I'm only 31, so I have time.
I got married, bought my first house, had a happy, healthy, beautiful baby, and am putting my husband through college. He will hopefully graduate next May. Our cars are paid off (we bought them used, but they work for us), we have adopted 3 dogs, and my stepson started first grade today. I took a step down from a highly stressful job to a lower paying, stress free job and I couldn't be happier (except with more money, of course!). I love my neighbors and my neighborhood, we have transformed (and still are) our house into our HOME and I look forward to going there everyday.

With all this, what's there to complain about? Everyone has debt, bills, and headaches. That will never go away, even if I won the lottery (that I can't play because Arkansas doesn't have one).

I still have both of my parents, who thoroughly enjoy their first grandbaby. My Dad and stepmom came to visit Bayley this weekend and I had to post this awesome picture!
