Words to Live By

I was cleaning out my saved folders on my work computer and came across this quote that I had saved and tucked away.

Love yourself now
Put others needs before your wants
Be a little better every day

I don't know why but it really touches me. And it puts things into perspective. I especially like the, 'be a little better every day' part. You don't have to change instantly and no one is perfect. We just need to try to be better just a bit each day.

Don't worry, I haven't completely dropped out of the blog world. I am, however, trying to simplify my life. Not that it is complicated - I just always feel (in my head) that I need to be doing something and I make lists and lists and it makes me crazy. So I'm trying to just relax and take is easy.

I have plenty of pictures to post and I wanted to start from the beginning.

Since this is the beginning of our NEW blog, I wanted to start from where we began as a new family.

Hopefully some time this weekend I'll start getting those up!

Hope you all have a great WEEKEND and a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

We decided to turn our first Valentine's Day as husband and wife (and all the future V Days from here on out for that matter) into Jamaica Day! We're making jerk chicken and sipping pina coladas (things we did every day of our honeymoon). Not to mention, we don't really celebrate the Hallmark Holiday... :-)

I think it will be a great day, a great memory and a new tradition for OUR NEW FAMILY!
