My Not So Perfect Life: Family First

I'm a little behind on my blog post this week, but the past few days have been packed full. Friday night was spent celebrating the marriage of one of my good friends. It was a lot of fun to see so many familiar faces and reconnect with old friends. We shared softball stories and the wonderful memories we made growing up together. Saturday was errand day! It seemed like everyone was having some kind of party. We had to try to make it to see everyone, and find the time to get the house ready for Peyton's 4th birthday party!

This was the first party that we have hosted at our house since we moved in, so I was little nervous. My family members came to my rescue and helped me pull everything together. My mom came over early Sunday morning and immediately started cleaning. Josh's parents helped out with the food and decorations. It was like God was helping me with everything I knew I couldn't do on my own. It was truly a blessing and I'm so thankful for my family. The party was a hit! We didn't have one crying child the entire day! I hope this birthday was one Peyton will remember forever. After the party, everyone worked together again to clean, clean, clean. Before I knew it my house was so tidy you would never know 10+ wet little toes were running around. Here are some pics from the party...

This weekend was all about family. During the party, I looked around at all of the smiling faces and thanked God for everyone in my life. The love that was in the room was overwhelming. Even though Peyton may not remember this past Sunday, I will cherish it for the rest of my life. Thank you to my family and friends for loving me unconditionally and always putting your needs aside for others. You are all amazing people and I'm truly blessed to have you in my life. My life may not be perfect...but this past weekend was pretty amazing!
