Mother Teresa.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

forgive them anyway.


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

be kind anyway.


If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;

succeed anyway.


If you are honest people may cheat you;

be honest anyway.


What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

build anyway.


If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

be happy anyway.


The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

do good anyway.


Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.


You see, in the end, it is between you and God;

it was never between you and them anyway.

Yeah, so. . .

Thursday was just another typical day. Woke up with a random kind of happiness that I don't always have on my way to work, but an issue that I had with a friend had dissolved, the sun was finally shining after 6 previous days of fog, and Grey's Anatomy was on that night. Yes, its true. I love Thursdays for that very reason.

Went through the day, got a lot accomplished, clocked out early. Picked up my son, saw him walk across my friends living room to greet me, took him home.

Opened the garage door, saw hubby's car. Thought it was strange since he never makes it home before I do. Removed baby from car seat, walked in the door. Saw hubby and his fancy new haircut. Asked him why he was home before me and chuckled as I asked him "you didn't quit your job did you?". He smiled, said no, took Jaxon from me to sit down.

"So why are you home early then?" {insert deafaning silence here} "Tyler? Why are you home before me?" {heart starts to race}

"I lost my job today."

{Panic races over me, but then relief as I realize he's probably playing a mean joke on me.} "No, seriously. Why are you home before me?"

"I lost my job today, Megan."

"You're serious?"

"They laid-off the entire department. No such thing as the Avionics department anymore."

*sobbing*

About 10 minutes later ...

"What are we going to do? There is no way we can survive on my salary alone. We will lose our house."

"We'll make it. We'll trust, we'll pray, and God will provide."

Wordless Wednesday.

Yes, it is indeed back. You're welcome Andy Watts. :)



{picture taken last week in Winter Park... sooc}

I think...

I should be nominated for the worlds worst blogger. Does anyone ever read this anymore anyways?

So I've been a little MIA obviously, and not just because I suck, but because we were in Colorado. My parents took my family to Winter Park for a week! We had an incredible time. The resort we stayed at had tons of free things to do and then everyone obviously did the whole skiing/snowboarding gig too. I even skiied! Haha, not really. I mean, I did - but I got to the top of the hill (cried the entire way up) and then walked down. I thought my life was over... don't worry, its not. But it's definitely a funny memory for the time being... and one that I'll probably never live down from my family. :) More pictures and a post to come on that later...

I wanted to show a picture of my baby boy, who is almost not a baby anymore by the way... he will be 1 in 22 days. That's right... that means I will have a toddler on my hands. While we were in Winter Park we got Jaxon's haircut. I didn't want to, but Tyler begged and pleaded and I told him as long as it was $10 or less we would, and sure enough - it was $10. Dang it. Here's a before and after picture...





Doesn't he look like a big boy now? Sniff... time is going way too quick.
