rollercoaster

Do you think of amusement parks when you hear the word rollercoaster? I know I do and I absolutely love going to amusement parks and riding all the crazy, fun rides. But have you ever thought that your life is like a rollercoaster, or you feel like it's a rollercoaster? All the ups and downs, the highs the lows, all the good things and the bad things. My whole life, I have felt like I've been on a rollercoaster, and I don't know whether to enjoy the ride or scream. 

Coming from a big family, there was always something going on. Kids running everywhere, homework needs to be done, house needs to get cleaned, and kids need to be watched. After I graduated high school and moved down to my dads, life was still busy. I had school, homework, helped my dad around the house, time with friends, and church stuff. I moved back and forth between my mom and dads houses and was all over the place. 

Until I met Trevor. Life was so great! We were so far in love that we were in our own little world. We were inseparable, and reality didn't exist in our minds. Then we got married, and reality slapped us in the face. We were back on the rollercoaster that people call life. We had no idea how married life was suppose to be, we were living in BYU married student housing, and barely making ends meet with money. 

Fast forward to October 2014 life got a bit crazier with Bentley! But having him on this ride with us, just makes it more special. Trevor and I didn't know how to be parents and we learned as time went by. From changing diapers, to Bentley constantly needing to be fed, growth spurts, baths, play time, nap time and bed time. 

Today life is still crazy and busy. Trevor finally started his new job last week at the dam, I'm getting ready for school in September while juggling being a mom and a wife, and Bentleys enjoying being a toddler, running around and playing all day.

Even though I'm always on the go 24/7, and as much as I would love for life to slow down, so I can take a breather, but I decided that I'm going to enjoy this ride on the rollercoaster that I call life. Are you going to enjoy the ride with me?

Until next time,
