Living Life

There are a million things to be worrying about in life right now

But guess what 

I'm not going to

I'm going to live. Life is such a beautiful gift. 

As I was driving today, I was overwhelmed by something simple, yet profound.

I'm alive. 

God has protected us each and every time we have gotten in a car and driven, each time we go out, each time we do ANYTHING really. 

Were alive and living.

Life can be tough, it can be exhausting and overwhelming. Lee and I are especially feeling the strain of life right now, but I am choosing (against my human nature) to live life and to love it. 

In the bad and in the good. 

It is a blessing

I am back!

Wow... I feel like I've missed so much in blog world! 

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone again!

I had a wonderful time in PA. It was quick but still so enjoyable. I love being with my family, each time I'm with them I'm just reminded how much I love and miss them!

 I'm so extremely thankful for them. 

I was so excited because my Mom came back home with me. It was her first time seeing where we live, I had such a great time showing her around. We always have such fun times together... it, also, was too quick, but I loved the time that we had. 

 We took her to the airport this morning. It's so sad to see my mom go. There are very few things I love more then being with her. 

So... I am back HOME with my Lee. I hate being away from him, but it is so nice to be missed :) Its amazing how a little time apart makes you feel so much closer. 

Thank you for all your well wishes on my last post :) 

I'm feeling so grateful for the beautiful people in my life!

mmm.... I could so go for a stroll on this little street with my man right now :)

***So I just realized something... if you look at that picture close enough... you see a little black sign right below the American flag and guess what it says?! 

Lee 

Ha! how weird! 

Headed North...

So I'm flying out tomorrow to go to Pennsylvania-

It was a pretty random, spur of the moment thing... I'm getting some things taken care of up there and then I shall return in a few days probably! I'm really excited to get to see my family for a few days!

 This will be the first time Lee and I have been apart since getting married!
 Oh how I will miss him! But the return will be so sweet :) 

Have a happy weekend! 

I'll be back soon!

Wanna know something?

I have a really good, easy salsa recipe!

 Well... technically I stole it from Chipotle, but still, its super good!

Basically its just: 

Tomatoes 

Red Onion 

Cilantro 

Jalapeno Peppers

I don't really know how much of each thing your supposed to put in. {I know... I'm so helpful}

but its salsa... so just do whatever you want! 

Just make sure you cut everything up into small little chunks and wa la! Its soo yummy! Those are like the best tasting ingredients ever together. And I don't even add anything... I guess if you want salt you could add that... you choose! Oh.. and if you don't like your salsa too spicy, be sure not to put too many jalapenos in it. 

Also, if you want to get super healthy you can use these: 

I promise they taste really good! 

And you can hardly tell the difference between the regular ones and these
