me

This is the part of social networking/blogging/etc that is annoying to me but I will do it anyway. I suppose for some it is nice to present a pseudo self to the world. No thank you. I’m Sarah. I’m married to Joe and I’m so in love. We’ve been married for almost 11 years. We work hard at our relationship but it’s so worth it. We really enjoy one another and love journeying through this life together. I’m mommy to three wonderful boys, Bradley, Bennett & Dexter. They are much more than I can handle but I adore them and they are precious gifts. Before I had kids I presented a very put together and controlled existence. Not anymore. When Bradley was born my life fell apart…in a good way. 4 years later I have come to grips with the fact that I was never really in control to begin with and that it’s much better to love and be loved than to be on top of things.  My counter tops are ALWAYS clean, my bed is always made and my house is generally in order but everything else is total chaos. I don’t have a lot of spare time between wiping butts, faces and tables so I have to pick and choose what to do with those minutes. I usually don’t opt to spend the time on personal hygiene, watching television or reading but I do waste a fair amount of time checking and replying to email and keeping my house clutter free. What else? I have a fairly healthy self-image but I’m not so delusional that I think I am gifting anyone with my words of wisdom. I love good food and good design. Do not ever call me a decorator. I exercise for the endorphins. And while I am not defined by the amazing family and friends that God has given me I am so grateful for them and for the life He has given me in His son.  Life is sort of hard right now but it’s so good.
