Reflecting on Life

After my hubby had to go to work at 7 PM last night for a server issue, I got to thinking.

Why don't we go to church?
Why don't I belive the words that I share with people?
Why can't I give everything whole heartly to god and just let go?

I never consistantly went to church as a kid, I went from time to time with friends but I never went with my family. So when it comes to god I'm a little overwhelmed, I really want to learn but the Bible is intimidating.

I'm so OCD that I have a problem with giving someone else control. I try to allow others to do things for me or offer things but I think to myself will it be as good as I can do it? I guess that is why I have lost some friendships, sorry I guess this is my character flaw.

I guess my fear boils down to not being accepted or understood.

I'm trying to change this, but my anxiety has been at an all time high thinking about it. So I'm taking one day at a time, I will try my best everyday to be a better Daughter, Wife, Mother, Friend and Follower of God. I will choose my words and advice more wisely, and I will love with out opinion.

2012 has me thinking about many things. This is first on my list to work on and fix.

Best of all, my hubby is on the same page and wants to do the same. I love that we are both on the same page in life and in our marriage.

Heres to a new Chapter in the Schaefer 4 book of life.

Cheers everyone,

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it

Let the planning begin. The Schaefer's are road tripping this summer.

We haven't gone on a real vacation in nearly 5 years (Trenton was 10 month old last time we went away). We are so excited that things have come together and that we can now plan our family road trip. With Jimmy's Dad (and Mom soon hopefully) living in Bowling Green now we dont get to see him very often, so on June 29th we will be leaving Corinth and will head to Bowling Green Kentucky. Look out Fruit of the Loom we are headed your way. LOL. We will also get the opportunity to head up to Indiana to visit my grandparents, they havent met the boys and Jimmy and I havent seen them since our wedding day nearly 7 years ago. We will also get to spend some time with the Tennessee Schaefer's, we hope to be there for July 4th. Fireworks on the River would be awesome. We will also have to opportunity to see my grandma and aunt in North Carolina. It will be a lot of time on the road but it will be so fun, the boys are already talking about it. With Jimmy getting a new car last week (GMC Terrain) it will make traveling easier and the boys will have tons of room.

I also get to buy a new camera in the next few weeks, I love taking pictures of the boys and of our travels so this will be amazing. We have decided on a Nikon D3100.

I guess I dont really have my of anything else to say right now. LOL.

Oh yeah my little sewing business is doing very well. I'm making up some new items now and hope to have my etsy page back up and running by Feb 1st. I will post some pics of my new stuff soon.

Instagram Tuesday

Here are some recent photos I have taken of various things. Enjoy.

My Fun Winter Front Door Hanging

My Fun Rain Boots, Leg Warmers, and Leggings

My Sock Bun Hair Today

I love this, the boys did this all by themselves.

I made this bunting for a customer, it should be in a photo by Your Candid Memories soon.

Not sure what to write, I have a ton to say but getting it all out is hard. So all I have is pictures at the moment.
