Things to smile about...

Okay Mandy, you inspired me. I am back on the blog wave. I figured since I was the only one on your list that hadn't edited their blog in over a year, it was about time.

I have a few things to get down tonight.

First of all, for those of you who don't know, a month ago we learned that we had lost our third pregnancy in the 3rd month of the pregnancy. While it has been a rollercoaster of emotions from one day to the next, it seems that I have made it this far without completely losing it. I have found much strength through my family, friends, wonderful husband, and a little bit of the Lord. I have many questions for him, but will have to continue to trust in his plan. Whether it be my "ideal" plan, I HAVE to know that it is in his hands.

So on that note, I thought I would share a bright spot in the day. I recently spent two weeks in Memphis, TN working at the downtown Marriott. It was an interesting trip and there were many emotions going on at that time. However, I became close with one of the girls there, Melody, and we had a lot of fun hanging out together. We ended up going to Graceland together and seeing the sights of Elvis. Very interesting, quite amusing and loads of fun. We learned that Elvis' favorite saying was "Takin' Care of Buisness". It meant so much to him he had "TCB" with a large lighting bolt painted on the large back wing of his personal airplane. Melody and I loved the saying! Long story short, (sorry, it's already long but you know what I mean! :)) after I left, she bought me a magnet with "TCB" and a lighting bolt and ended up sending it to me in the mail. It arrived today. A day in which I needed to be reminded that through this process, we just need to "take care of business". It isn't always easy, but we get through it the best we know how. I put the magnet up on the door to my office to remind me each day of what it will take. Just to push through one more day with a few more smiles, a few more laughs and a few more good memories.

Okay, so that's about it. Thank you for reading the long post, I am off to a good start!

One more thank you to my 2 favorite girls. I love you and love reading about the fun you are having. Keep it coming!

Until tomorrow!
