LifesLittleSteps: August 2012

Hello strangersssss

Wow super long since I have blogged and since I am alone, well with my 2 year old beautiful little girl, I should have been blogging a lot more! But great news is we are finally out of FL and bought a home in beautiful Georgia! So so so happy and thankful to have a home to grow and raise a family in, anddddd a big back yard! Cale and I both grew up with land and we wanted our children to be able to run free too! The home is lovely! Such charm and also leaves things for us to make our own, which is something we definitely wanted! So update : Cale started playing the end of June, so he really hasn't been playing that long but it seems like that since we have been apart since the beginning of June. Vayda and I moved up while Cale rehabbed in FL and closed on the home and he went up to Toledo! SO about 6 weeks he has been playing, but due to a full team he only gets to play a few days a week, but oh well, you get what you can get right?!? I am beyond proud of Cales journey coming back, most guys it takes a year or longer, but not Cale, he is a super hero, in more ways than one. He has more than taken care of my and Vayda, and given us a beautiful home! Gosh I love him so so so so so much. I thank God for perfect timing and love at first sight, because that is what led us to where we are today! And yes it was love at first sight... for both of us! I added this song on here because "I Wont Give Up" has really taken my heart today. Cale and I have gone through what seems the worst year for luck ever, one bad things after another.....and no I am not complaining just stating the facts. And then my transmission goes out in my car...........the straw broke this camels back then. It has been quite the snowball affect! But today I put Jason Mrazs' song on repeat and just cried and was so happy while listening to it because it is truly beautiful, and so meaningful. I guess you (I) always think that since your marriage is so perfect and so is your baby that life should be too, but life decided to slap me across the face a little and tell me that is always cant be perfect. God puts us through some trials to make us become more like him and more aware of our strength. 10 years ago I had no strength, I was weak and anyone could have pushed me over. It wasn't until I lived and went through some really tough times that I got my strength, and even though I hated those times I still do not think I would change them because today I am who I am, and I am pretty content with that fact! I think we get to caught up in the idea that we are owed all of these blessings, but that could not be further from the truth. We have to try hard every day. That has been hard for me to learn this year, is that it can't always go good even I am living my life right. But at the end of the day, I have a wonderful marriage, husband and baby girl, and a new home! I think that is about as sweet as life gets right there! Well and maybe seeing my husband in his sexy ball uniform, lol. I added the little song, dont judge its crappiness!!!

Vayda turned 2 August 11.......my how time flies! I turned 26 and I cannot believe that! Vayda is stunningly beautiful, she is the perfect mixture between Cale and I, and it bouncing off the walls with energy! She talks all the time and is learning things every day. What a true miracle having a healthy baby is? Such a huge blessing to have Vayda in my life right now. Without her I would have gone crazy, but when there is a bad day I just look at her and I am all smiles. Watching her interact and move around is magical. She brings such a peace to me and our home. We have missed Cale this whole season but just know how amazing it will be when he returns home. Lord I thank thee for my family and for giving us the love that we share!!
