day 10, your views on drugs and alcohol

unless you are taking prescription drugs from a doctor for medical purposes, there is no reason for anyone to ever be taking drugs whatsoever. Drugs are just stupid and can cost you your life. I had two friends in high school die from drugs....one boy took some kind of pill and his body reacted to it in a different way and he died....another boy committed suicide because he was not in his right mind because of the drugs that he had taken. There are so many wonderful things in life that can give you that "high" feeling that you are looking for....you just have to find what that is for you.... for me, its being a good wife, seeing my precious baby smile and be happy, making good grades, or even that simple feeling of being finished cleaning the kitchen does it for me haha. Bottom line, drugs are stupid and ruin people's lives.
Alcohol...to me, if you are drinking alcohol just to get drunk, then that is just stupid...if you are drinking alcohol just to fit in, that is stupid....if you are drinking alcohol to escape reality, it is stupid..... Now, I am not going to sit here and lie and say that I have no done my fair share of drinking. When i was in high school, I went through a very rough patch that lead to drinking excessively every weekend and making some very bad choices for myself. Luckily, this didn't last long and I am fortunate enough to say that it did not leave me with consequences that I would have to live with...
I will occasionally have a glass of wine if my husband and I are sitting at home watching a movie or we go out on a date...but once you become a parent, it is just not worth it. Could you imagine being so drunk that heaven forbid something happen to your child in the middle of the night but you are too passed out to do anything about it? Ya, try living with that for the rest of your life.
So in the end....drugs are stupid and alcohol is stupid if you don't know self control.
Thats all for now! Much love and God bless,

oops forgot a few days of my challenge :)

6.The person you like and why you like them.
Well, there are a million reasons why I love my husband....
-he loves me and takes care of my and our child
-he is a hard worker and provides so well for us which allows me to stay home and raise our son
-he is extremely handsome
-he is romantic
-he puts my feelings before his own, always
-I trust him. This is a big deal for me because there are very few men in this world that I trust.
-he is my best friend and soul mate....it sounds so cliche for me to say this considering everyone says that their husbands are their best friends even if they treat them like crap, but he really is.
7.Your opinion on cheating on people.
- haha well.....cheating is wrong. In the married world, it is called adultery. When a man and wife exchange vows on their wedding day, that is a promise to GOD that you will love and cherish only each other as man and wife. Cheating is wrong and ruins marriages....so what is my opinion on cheating on people? Well, i think if you are the cheater, you are sinning against God and you will have to answer for it. So sucks for you.
8.Something you’re currently worrying about.
I am currently worrying about a few things. Am I going to go into labor before my due date? Are the new sectional, TV, and TV stand that we ordered going to get here before the baby is born so I can have furniture in our living room when we bring home our child? ( i know that one is silly)
I am trying to be as stress free right now as I can be in my fragile state but I am such a worry wort. I worry if I have nothing to worry about....its just what I do...
9.Your last kiss.
about 5 minutes ago from my husband before he fell asleep. :)

That's all for now!
Much love and God bless.

Day 5, things that irritate you about the opposite sex

well, I wouldn't call it an irritation really, more of like a difference of opinion. Men were made differently than women, they just were. Yes it is true that God made man in the image of him and that women were made from the rib of a man. "You can’t have a very happy marriage unless you understand and accept that God made men and women different, and that this is a good thing. We shouldn’t try to get rid of the God-given differences between men and women, but instead learn to understand them, accept them, and even grow to truly appreciate them". I found this on a site and it is totally true. With that said, I am not perfect and I can sometimes get a little bit irritated when Chris can't fully understand how I am feeling as a woman. I will say this, Chris is VERY in tune with my emotions as a woman. I think that the one statement that I have heard about the differences between man and woman that irritate me the most are that men run off of logic and woman run off of emotion. I can agree with this statement to a point but I will not fully agree that all men think logically all woman run off of emotions. There have been too many men royally screw up their lives for me to believe that they make EVERY decision based off of logic and reason. Now, I am a woman, and I am an emotional woman. BUT, I am also a very intelligent woman who thinks most of my decisions through. I wont sit here and pretend that I in the heat of an argument that I don't say something mean off of my overrun emotions but when it comes to BIG decision making, I will definitely say that I am a logical person who thinks things through.
With all of this said, I am thankful that I am married to a man who gets both sides for the most part. Hes not perfect, but he tries hard to understand me, especially in my emotional and vulnerable states. If we BOTH had my personality, things would not be good. I am thankful that God made men and women different. He obviously knew what he was doing. We compliment each others strengths and weaknesses.

Day 4, what you wear to bed

This one is random lol
Well ok, NORMALLY when I am not pregnant, it is either a tank top and basketball or sophie shorts. I am pretty hot natured and I have to wear cotton to bed....no sexy silky night gowns for me lol. BUT, considering I'm currently pregnant, its tank top and panties all the way lol. I am constantly hot and I do not sleep with the covers on anymore haha even though there is snow on the ground outside.
thats all for now!
much love and God bless!

Day 3, what kind of person attracts you?

This is a funny one! It might be a little bit touche to say "Tall dark and handsome" because that's exactly what my husband is but I have proof that's what I have always wanted! Shortly before my wedding day, my mom gave me a letter that I wrote when I was 7 or 8 years old at church about what I wanted my husband do be like. It said...
1. taller than me- I am very fortunate in this department. I can literally wear any size heels and I am not even close to being as tall as Chris. I am 5'6 and he is 6'3. Go me! lol
2. Dark hair- I have always been attracted to darker headed men. Chris' hair is true black so hes as dark as it can get! I Love it.
3. handsome- umm gee, enough said.....I think my husband is the most attractive man in the world.
4. Godly man- what a blessing. My husband is a God fearing man. I have always found this to be one of the most attractive qualities about him. I will never forget the first time I knew I loved him. We had actually only been dating a month and right before we got off the phone, he asked me if I would pray with him before we got off and went to sleep. I just remember my heart melting listening to him talking to our Lord. I adore him.
5. sweet to me- haha remember I was 8 when I wrote this. My husband is so sweet. I am very lucky to be married to someone who is so patient and sweet with me, in all situations.
6. a good father- Chris is the best daddy I have ever seen. He is just as in love with Camden as I am. I am so blessed to have such an amazing father to my children. He is a good daddy in every way possible..... he provides, he loves, and he gives undivided attention to him.
So yes this was a small list that I made a long time ago about my future husband haha. I was so excited that my mom kept it and gave it to me to compare. I guess I have known what I wanted for a long time!
That's all for now!
Much love and God bless,
Sarah
