I couldn't think of a title for this post, I just want to let you know where I am and what I have been doing. So there no real point to this post which makes it random however I have been living life to the fullest these past two weeks so that's how I got the title to my post. And you know what I like it.

It has been a hard weekend for me but ending on a sweet note, Monkey rubbing my best friend, Tiffany's belly saying it's a "your belly is full" then Monkey gave his guess on what the baby will be, he's guess is girl :).

I usually don’t post my thoughts and understanding on the Scriptures but David is like all of us. Sometimes we feel the Lord is punishing us for our sin when in fact we are the ones pushing God away from us.

I used to be all about trick or treating and now I rather knock on the few doors on my street and call it a day. I'm not cool with the thought of Monkey knocking on standers doors and eating their candy. But I know Monkey will love to give out candy, maybe I can spin Halloween around and teach him it's better to give than receive!
What do you do for halloween?

There were a few times where I wanted to quit but then for the rest of my life I will wonder what happen and I’m too young for that. There were really two different stories in the book. The main story was about Ann Eliza Young, which was what I signed up to read.

But as I mature and figure who I am, I only fall more in love with my husband which completely amazes me. How did God know that I was going to need a man like my husband before I knew?
