Happy Father's Day!!

I am a sucker for holidays.  I love that someone out there understands that life can get crazy busy and sometimes we need a specific day set aside to remind us of what we cherish so much and sometimes even take for granted. 

So this Father's Day I want to take a moment to thank my fiance for being an amazing Father- and so much more!  He is kind, gentle, loving, smart, funny, yet still the strong rock we need him to be.  I couldn't blessed with a more perfect partner to have in life.  

I also want to take a minute to thank my father for always being there for me when I needed him.  He has been supportive and encouraged me so much throughout the years.  I love you Dad.

I found this quote and immediately fell in love.  It captures Nick so perfectly.  The girl's love their daddy and he loves them so much, it makes my heart melt..

"A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail..."- Unknown.

Happy Father's Day Nick!

love,  me- one lucky mama.

No..I didn't forget this blog existed.

Okay.  I've totally neglected this blog for the past few months.  It's horrible..I know.  However in my defense I seem to recall originally creating it for the very simple reason of being bored (inside my head I'm screaming HA!  was I crazy?  I can't ever remember a time of being bored.) and well that is just not the case these days.  

These days you can find me buried under a pile of dirty dishes, laundry waiting to be folded, textbooks, and med sheets (amongst many, many other things.).  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a little homemaker and studying nursing.  Both are huge passions of mine but they definitely are NOT for sissys. 

However this past weekend I was able to take a break from it all when the family and I went camping up north (and I say up north loosely as we were chilling in the far away town of Muskegon.).  It was beautiful and refreshing.  It helped me remember that I need to take the time to nourish what is important to me and not become lost in what is expected of me.  So I hope you are all doing well and remembering to take that time for yourself.  You deserve it!

SN: I'm pretty sure I'm totally addicted to camping now.  

I mean seriously..who would not want to wake up to this every morning?!

And fall asleep watching this?!

 C'mon!  That is the life right there.  :]
