Spring Madness

Thats what I call March and April in our house;) Spring Madness! Its our birthday months. So far we have had five this month, I have an engagement party this sunday a baby shower next week, and than about 7 birthdays in April, including my dads 60th! And while we are at it lets throw Easter in there as well:)

But the sun is out so I couldn't be happier! And today is a spring cleaning day around here! time to open up the blinds and see the dust bunnies that have been collecting the past few months!

March has also been super busy for us with showings on our apartment. We were so blessed last year when we decided to move before my mat leave was over to find great tenants in two days! They are now moving on and for the past month we have done showing after showing, people no showing, people not calling back, people seeming like it was a done deal and than nothing..ugh...its exhausting! So I have been a tad stressed..ok a lot stressed as we are preparing to embrace an extra mortgage payment this month. With just days away, I have come to a more peaceful place. One thing that i have learned to do this month is pray differently. Life just keeps seeming to happen, and I find myself getting let down time and time again with expecations I set for myself and for us. Hopes, dreams, plans..which are not bad things, but if thats all i focus on I am know i am doomed to fail. So It clicked somehow this month..I just need to pray for peace. Because I can't control what is happening around me, only what is inside. and let me tell you, its helping. So I am learning to trust God in our circumstances and pray for the fruits of the spirit that he has given to me to get me through this harder times with Joy and peace!

So that is where we are at:)! So back to get stuff done while the little is being babysat by Veggie tales..her new found love;)*grin*

oh and I am off for a big walk this afternoon, in the sun!!! I can't believe I am finally saying that!
