Busy as a bee...

Hello all, long time no talk! We have been so incredibly busy lately it's been insane. I've actually had a moment to breath (a little)

We've been working on projects, our gardens And fish pond., which is finally done! Minus the fish that is... I'm hoping to get them this weekend! Of course, the projects aren't done. We still have a million And one to do plus our next big project is our chicken coop!

Yes, we are getting chickens and I can't wait! This weekend we are making salsa from the hundred tomatoes we have... I swear there is tomatoes coming out the waazooo!

Here are a few pictures of our pond... I didn't take the final pics.. I'll take them when we get fish :)

And a few others pics from the week!

Take a chance on life

Recently, I had the opportunity to try something great... a chance to maybe, just maybe, change my life.

The possibilities? Endless.

I'm so ready for a change in my life... and I believe this could be it. For once in my life, I can see myself being where I want to be. This won't obviously happen over night... but in time, I could be there.

I'll of course share more in time.. because I believe this opportunity I was given, could not only help me physically and financially.. but I believe it could help many of you also.

Sometimes we have to take risks to get to where we want to be. You're dreams are only as far as you can reach, the hardest part is actually reaching out to grab them.

Well, I'm reaching out.

Just been one of those weeks..

You ever think back when you were younger and how you use to imagine your life? Where you would be now, what you'd be doing? Has it ever been completely off track?

Not mine, to a point.

Everyone dreams of a perfect life, the one they just know they will have. Mine might not be completely perfect, because lord knows we all have faults and things we wish we're a tad bit different, but all in all? I'd say mines going pretty well.

I've found who I need in my life and who I want in my life.. I've found the ones that want to be in my life and the ones that don't. Life is all about the people that come and go.., and I can't hold on to it all, even if I want to. Needs and wants are two different things.

Honestly, I don't know where I'd be without my amazing husband. He lights up my world, and gives me something to look forward to seeing every morning and every night when I get home from work. He is truly my everything. We may not have it all or have this perfect life as some might see it, but as long as I have him, nothing else matters. He makes my life perfect.

It's just been one of those days where all I can think about is the negative in my life... I bitch and moan deep down but keep that smile on my face. But, when I really sit here and think about how blessed I truly am... It's because I'm looking into those cute brown eyes and suddenly everything will be ok,

Sappy... I know, but isn't there at least someone or something in every ones life they feel this way about? If you say no, then maybe it's time you looked around and figured that one thing that just makes everything worth wild. Something you can hold onto forever, that something that makes your life all that much better.

I'll still think about how I wish things would go this or that way.. But I'll always have him by my side... Trudging through the thick dark waters with me, and somehow he makes it all crystal clear.

He is all I need.

No life it seems...

It seems any more these days that I feel like I have no life...

This whole living on your own, it can be time consuming, seriously. I'm sure most of you get it, or are thinking that I am being a big baby, oh well.

Don't get me wrong, I love everyday. I love having our own space, doing our things, living our lives... but sometimes I would love to be able to come home and relax. I'm pretty sure this word relax will never happen again in my life, especially when we decide to start a family. I might as well get use to it now.

I love being busy.. that's definitely my thing. I would probably go crazy if I just sat at home all day and didn't do anything... my mind has to constantly be going. So, it's no big deal.

Maybe its because I feel I get home late (6ish?) Which isn't like super late, but later then most... even if I got home an hour earlier I would feel I had so much more time to do things. I come home... clean up the kitchen, make dinner, and by time it's done.. it is almost 8 o'clock. Just like it is now... and I just finished making dinner. Although, I have to say I make some kicking dinners, the husband is always impressed. On tonights menu? Poor man crab cakes... they are made with zucchini.. the cheap way, and let me tell you, we have zucchini coming out our ears from our garden. I decide to TRIPLE the batch, because that is just how any zucchinis we have. BUT, instead of just zucchini cakes, I decided to spice it up a bit and put a little bit of actual crab meat in them. My Poor man's crab cakes are more like.. Semi-poor man's crab cakes. Yummm.. We'll probably eat 1 batch and freeze the other 2 for another meal.. win.

We have been busy keeping up with the garden.. just look below at what we picked last night. On top of already 8 quarts of green beans I froze over the weekend. We will be set for winter I think.

We've also been pretty busy working on this... something we have been wanting to put into my flower/herb garden. A pretty fish pond! We got a great deal on this pond, too good to pass up! We finally got it in, with lots of work.

Of course, Ryan thought it would make for a great pool... it be more like a hot tub in this heat. But, couldn't pass up a photo on this..

Life is good.. busy, but good.
