Welcome to my boring life

I came to the realization yesterday that my life is not very exciting right now. Don't get me wrong; I am not complaining. I am thrilled, actually. I have had way too much excitement in the last few years. But I was thinking about how much I would have loved to have this outlet for my frustrations when things were going not-so-good. I'm sure it would have made for more exciting reading, too.

For instance, last year we bought a house and sold a house, moved, got pregnant and had a baby. Lots of excitement there. The year before, we had two deadbeat tenants, we were harassed by our neighbors because we owned dogs and they didn't like dogs, I had to go to court three different times because of these things, we started and then sold a business, I went to Cuba on a missions trip, and we went on a cruise. Again, an excitement-filled year. I could have come on here and written scathing comments about all the people who did me wrong and it would have made me feel SO much better. I think all my family and friends got sick of hearing it.

But I have to say I am really glad there is no drama this year. There are no big events, either good or bad. There is just the contentedness of a life lived well. I love my husband like crazy, I'm enjoying my kids, we actually have fruit and veggies to harvest this year. I am learning not to dwell on the things that get me down. I am learning to lower my expectations of myself in certain areas (will the world end if the floor isn't swept? No) so I don't stress out. I feel really good.

Which is not to say I won't come on here and rant, because I will. And if the pattern of every three years being awful holds true, 2006 will probably be a busy blogging year for me as well. I will continue to trust the Lord; He's never let me down. Have a blesssed day!
