Time for something new...

I have never been the one to keep a journal or diary. Well I take that back I have always TRIED to keep a journal or diary but they last a week at the longest.  I have been wanting to start a blog for a while, but I have never thought I have anything very significant to write about.  I still don't know what I am exactly going to write about but tonight I felt something inside tell me its time.  It is time to share about my life and maybe it will inspire someone or even better inspire me to be a better person.  My favorite bible verse is Matthew 7:13-14 it reads... "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.". I think this verse describes me and my life because I keep it close and keep on my mind on a daily basis. So that's a little about me and my purpose and hopefully something will come out of this whole blogging thing...  

Now I am not the best writer and I don't always have the right words to say so bare with me.. So I'll start with a little more about me...

I have been married for a little over a year now.  My life has changed so much but it is for the better.  My way of thinking has changed and now I feel like I'm becoming more of a wife.  It is such a transition to become a married person that no one can fully prepare you to know what to expect.  Especially since my husband and I did not live together before we were married.  So getting used to living together and adjusting to each other has been quite interesting :).

To make things a little more interesting we have our "kids". Before we got married we had two dogs, Marlee (our oldest a 6 year-old sweet pit bull) and Izzy (our little ball of energy/snuggle bug 3 year-old Yorkie).  They were a perfect pair sweet sisters who love each other and love to play and cuddle. 

Now to make things a lot more exciting my wonderful husband decided that we need another big dog so Marlee had someone to play rough with.  I said no way you must be crazy.  I couldn't imagine having another dog especially since we had a great family dynamic already... but that wouldn't be fun would it?!  The day after thanksgiving my husband went to the store and came back with this little one..

                                            

Now who could say "No" to that little face... he just melts my heart.  Samson aka Sammy is our almost one year old German Shepard/ Lab mix and let me tell you he has made our life way more interesting! 

My life is incredibly blessed more than I could have ever dreamed... Although it can be stressful at times I can honestly say I wouldn't trade my life with anyone.  That is it for now but I hope to start this journey and its now or never...
