The Simple Life

I try to make my life simple and easy. I don’t schedule a lot of activities or events. I like having a lot of free time to do whatever our family wants to do that day. We need to be very spontaneous or we would never see each other. Chris may only be home for a couple hours between jobs and the kids and I don’t want to be obligated to something else when we could be spending time with him.

So if I have such a simple and easy life then why do all these big events keep interrupting it? I had a baby. Yes that was a pretty big event! I haven’t even had time to settle into that one. Since then we’ve had a baby blessing and now a wedding to get ready for. I know all these things could be easier if I didn’t have to make everything and do everything. I guess that’s not something I am willing to give up. I’m not willing to go out and pay a lot of money for a blessing dress when I can make it cheaper and 100 times better. It’s the same thing with Kate’s dress for the wedding. My Mother-In-Law offered to have someone else sew it but I have to do it myself. I have to make sure it’s done right. It’s so worth it too.

I guess I have to look at it this way… If I didn’t have such an uncomplicated life then I wouldn’t have time to make these big events special.
