Am I the only person who cannot remember anything? I do not think that I was always this way, but truthfully, I DON'T REMEMBER!!!!! What is the deal with the loss of memory? When I sat down to start writing on my new found blog, I could not remember what it was that I wanted to write about, so I thought well I am going to write about loosing my memory, so that next time I sit down and completely draw blank I can look back to see that, yes Betsy this happens ALL THE TIME!

Loosing my memory could be God's way of keeping me blissfully happy! I mean if I remembered everything that I had done or that I needed to do on any given day, it might cause me to meltdown, but since I don't I remain in a state of utter bliss. The kind of happy you are when you first get married, and you think that your sweet spouse would never do anything to make you upset. Were not those the days. Sometimes I look back on my honeymoon pictures and think, girl you do not know what you just signed up for. Not that married life is bad, quit the opposite, but it is definitely nothing like I thought it would be.

I do not think that you can prepare someone for marriage or babies. No matter how much anyone tells you, "Marriage is not easy" or "Having a baby changes everything", I always found myself thinking "YOUR marriage is not easy, but mine will be" and "Having a baby is going to make EVERYTHING easier and better". The marriage thing, wow did I have a lot to learn. Team work for the rest of your life is not easy. But it is the of great reward! Having a baby it changed everything, and I would not trade my Luke or my sweet Caroline for all of the money in the world! They are the VERY BEST presents, besides Jesus, that God has ever given me and I am forever grateful for them.

I think I hear my present crying for me right now...
