I believe life is hard....
More and more each day I realize life is just plain hard. As I go through each day tired, struggling, overwhelmed, just wanting life to get more simple...I realize it never will. It is life, live it the best we can. Every day worries and struggles, stresses are easy to get us down.
I believe life is full of joy.....
There are so many joys in our lives, so many blessings...we just have to slow down and see them. There is so much beauty and good in the world, in our family, and our friends.
Lately I have been overwhelmed somewhat with just life. I know and understand the joys and huge blessings God has given me that surround me every day, but sometimes have a hard time appreciating them over my stresses. Then I am hit hard by hearing and seeing what is going on in others' lives. Hardships that are unimaginable and unbearable. The realization hits of how hard life truly can be and also how blessed I truly am!!! As I see and hear of these hardships, I realize more and more that God must be our rock! There is no answer during some of these times but to seek God for comfort. I pray for these people, these friends, and their families.
Praise God for life and His many blessings!!

Life will get simpler, in it's own way. Maybe it's not the ideal way, or what you had planned, but it will get simpler.
I think it'll all make sense when you're able to stay at home for a bit, take a deep breath and enjoy that sweet baby girl.
Just a little bit longer. Hang in there. Love you!
AMEN sista'! Hope you are feeling well!! Not much longer. Thinking about you!
Just read your last two posts. Can relate so much to a lot of what you've said. I feel very blessed, too, and ache for those people who are having hard times. As far as getting ready for the baby: When I was pregnant the first time with Erin, I had a dream one night how to decorate the nursery and decorated it just like my dream! Weird, I know, but it made it so easy and it was so cute (or at least to ME it was cute! ha!) I love your name you've chosen, Ellis Ann. That's beautiful. Got your invitation today, too! Time is flying by. It won't be long before little Ellis Ann is here! Then your life will be changed forever and for the better! Just hang in there. It's worth it all:)
I forgot to answer your question a/b the camera. I guess it depends how serious you want to be with photography. I'm kind of a mediocre serious hobby photographer! ha! Does that make sense? I have a Pentax DSL 35mm digital camera. There are many brands, Nikon probably being the most expensive, Canon is good, too, but i like my Pentax. My SIL has a Sony digital "point and shoot" camera that takes really good pics, too. Maybe you could just google and research digital cameras to see what they will do and how much they cost and decide from that. Some, I think, will take videos, too, which you might want. I love the new digital cameras, though, b/c you just delete if it didn't come out good and you don't have to buy film over and over. Then you can do all kinds of things after you take the photo on the computer to improve them with all kinds of different programs. I use Corel Snapfire that came with our computer right now but I bought Photoshop Elements 7 but haven't learned how to use it yet. I've also looked at Aviary and Picnik. It's a fun hobby but it can get expensive. It just depends on how much you want to put into it and how much time and money you have to spend on it. Let me know what you do. It can be addictive, too! Emily's camera takes good pics. Maybe you could ask her a/b hers, too. Good luck!
Kathleen, your comment is too funny because I peek in there about 99 times a day :) I'm glad I'm not the only one! Post some pictures when you can. Hope you are feeling good.
Just wanted you to know that I love you and are praying for you. Enjoy these last couple of weeks. Got your cute invitation the other day, sure wish I could be there! Love you!
