Sometimes the fear of change is worse than the change itself.
Although I cannot claim this as an original statement, I must say, I have to OWN IT! I am the queen of plaguing myself with fear. Especially when there is change in my life involving no plan ahead. Yes, this one of my OCD Mama traits coming out! "MUST. ORGANIZE. AND. PLAN. MY LIFE. AT ALL TIMES!" There are logical explanations for doing so, because unfortunately the outcome of what we fear can sometimes become a reality. Am I right mamas? I often tell myself , "if I can just organize an plan my life I won't feel like such a mess", (or so I try to convince myself). But God ALWAYS has a plan for our lives! And in the last several months He has stretched my heart teaching me a valuable lesson of LETTING IT GO! I had to let go of my plans because I believe He had better plans ahead. As summer break grew closer and closer my anxiety for the changes that were about to happen in my life increased. "Lord, I do not know how to handle this. Why does everything have to change this summer?" My routine was gone! In addition to a minor elbow injury leaving my workouts limited, I was also unable to go to the gym with my kids at home. A summons for jury duty had me stressed, because as a stay-at-home mom ,"Who would take care of my children?" A planned mission trip and possible travel for my husband meant I had no partner to help.( And I am perfectly honest when it comes to this......MY HUSBAND ROCKS!) He keeps me sane. Mom 24/7, NO breaks, NO "me time". It was all a bit overwhelming. I have highlighted this passage from LET. IT. GO. by Karen Ehman : (my summer read) "Our only solution is to cultivate the gentle art of acceptance, of learning not to ask"Why me?" but rather "What am I supposed to learn at this junction of life that will make me a better person and draw me closer to God?" We shouldn't pout, asking God to get us out of the circumstances. Instead of crying, "Lord, get me out of here!" we should instead be praying, "Lord, why have you brought me here?" (The Seduction to Self pg. 53) "For God has of given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline." ~2 Timothy 1:7 NLT Though I felt powerless to what was to come, God kept whispering, "let it go". Friends, I wish I could tell you I gracefully surrendered my anxiety to God, but sadly I didn't. At least not right away. I indulged in my fare share of pouting before I asked, "Lord why have you brought me here?". It took more than half the summer for me to accept the "no schedule, go with the flow" summer in our house. Some things worked out and some not so much the way I wanted. My husband did not do any traveling, partially because the motor burnt out in one of our vehicles right before the mission team was about to leave. (See, I told you my husband is awesome because he would not just leave me in such a crisis). I was NOT chosen for the jury panel and was able to find child care for the one day I had to report for jury selection. And my injury, the gym, and my "me time",, well, that is still a struggle. But, God got me through the summer and we were blessed to have a relaxing and wonderful beach trip at the end of it all! I believe God put me in this series of uncomfortable circumstances to slow me down a bit and to mold my heart, urging me to let Him take control Now that school has started again I have come full circle landing right back where I started. New routine, new schedule, new projects, etc. My tendency to want to organize and plan everything prevails. But I am desperately trying to not forget the LET IT GO mindset. I learned that when we don't just let things go sometimes we miss the blessings of what God has for us. I discovered that those blessing for me is when I am being intentional about savoring the moments with my children. I found that I was so worried about my task at hand and what was the next thing on my to-do list that I was often multitasking through those everyday "moments" with my children. I wasn't stopping to listen to them. Not only was I missing the moments I was overwhelming myself in the process. I have much more to learn but I am excited about my NEW journey of LETTING IT (somethings) GO to make room for the new things God has for me.! I hope my summer heart stretch encouraged you today and I hope you will keep reading as I continue to share my journey I call life! Blessings Friends <3 Melissa

![]() Allow me to re-introduce myself......... Hello, my name is Melissa and I am ADDICTED TO SUGAR! Oh yes, I can say this and laugh but, unfortunately this is a very REAL and TRUE statement! And I know I'm not alone because many have shared with me the same struggle. Maybe you have a battle with sugar cravings as well. I didn't always think that sugar addiction was real. I just joked about it, chalking it up as just a weakness and I just needed more discipline. This was only half truth. I discovered this hard reality after disciplining myself for seven months including training for competition. If you read my last blog D is for......Diet? I shared how I had let go of my diet structure and lost control a bit after competing. The grip of those returning sugar cravings were just so overwhelming. I began questioning myself, how did I ignore this for seven months and now can't get past it for seven minutes? But, I was determined that MY CRAVING WILL NOT CONTROL ME! ![]() One day as I searched the library for more nuggets of nutrition knowledge I found the book that confirmed that I was NOT crazy! Sugar Addiction is in fact real! The title is Beat Sugar Addiction Now, by Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. This book reveals four types of sugar addiction. * http://vitality101.com/ Recently, several have asked me if I have simple solutions for sugar cravings. Though my nutrition knowledge has increased in the last several months including my own experiences battling sugar cravings, sadly I haven't found any "simple" solutions. However, this book does explain why we may be craving sugar and the possible remedies to controlling those cravings. You can find out which of the four types of sugar addiction you may have by clicking the following link and taking Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum's quizzes. http://vitality101.com/health-a-z/Sugar-take_the_sugar_addict_quiz You can find out which of the four types of sugar addiction you may have by clicking the following link and taking Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum's quizzes. http://vitality101.com/health-a-z/Sugar-take_the_sugar_addict_quiz I spotted my type of sugar addiction right away by its title, "Feed Me Now or I Will Kill You:" When life's stress has exhausted your adrenal glands. This was yet another joke among my husband and I because the "mean girl" does in fact come out when I am hungry! Well, the jokes on him because I found legitimate reasons for becoming "mean girl" when I'm hungry. Reading this began to make sense. When I had weened myself off of sugar and was eating often my cravings were much more controllable. But it also explained a bit why I had some difficulty with a few days of low carbohydrates during my training. But the truth is, regardless of what type of craving you may have, adjusting your diet is certainly priority #1! If you reduce your sugar intake including processed foods (such as processed carbohydrates) and replace with fruits, natural sweeteners in moderation (Stevia or Truvia), and "good" carbohydrates (brown rice, whole wheat breads, sweat potatoes, beans etc), this should help control your sugar cravings. Now on the spiritual side of things, those of you who have been following our Made to Crave* bible study you know this is all about dealing with our cravings for food. In Chapter 2, Replacing My Cravings, Lysa TerKeurst talks about using her cravings to prompt her to pray. She writes: "God, it's 10:00 a.m. and I'm craving again. I want those snack crackers that are literally screaming my name. But instead of reaching for those snack crackers, I'm praying. I'll be honest, I don't want to pray. I want those crackers. But, instead I'm going to have a handful of almonds and brick by brick.....prayer by prayer.....lay a path for victory." "Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for you I pray. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice, in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation" (Psalm 5:1-3). So what would happen if we did this too? Replaced our cravings with prayer. Is this a challenge you are willing to take with me? Though battling any addiction is never simple or easy and, I'm certainly not an expert, I hope that sharing this information and a little bit of my experience will be helpful to you. And friends we are all in this together. This week in our MTC study we will take a look at Chapter 4 Friends Don't Let Friends Eat before Thinking. I hope you will keep reading the weeks to come. I have plans to share more about our Made to Crave study as well as more on fitness and nutrition. Blessings, ~Melissa *http://www.jacobteitelbaum.com/health_articles_a-b/Ann-book-beat_sugar_addiction_now.html *http://lysaterkeurst.com/made-to-crave/ ![]() D is for.......... DIET? OK, so my little OCD acronym (Organize Create Design) may be taking on a new spin! Those of you who have been following me on my fitness and nutrition journey know that nutrition has become a very important part of my life. So important in fact that I have taken new steps in my journey to learning more about nutrition in order to become a "health coach". I have truly been inspired by how nutrition effects us. Not only does it effect our physical bodies but also our emotions, mental clarity, and can even effect our spiritual health! Lets rewind a bit..........back to, oh let's say October. During my training my diet changed drastically. It is safe to say that 75-80% (if not more) of my competition prep was in my diet. I didn't mind the new diet at first, I actually loved the organization and structure of it (surprised?). But, after several weeks I began to feel the effects of the extremely strict diet. Physically I was feeling depleted and I was becoming very bored eating the same thing day in and day out. It became hard, sticking with it took a huge amount of discipline! Have you ever had a craving? Have you ever felt hungry? Multiply that by a 100! But you know what? It made me dig down deep and surrender to my Jesus. In my previous blog I Am An Overcomer I share how I found my strength and encouragement. I knew that the strict diet was temporary and I would have more flexibility when the competition was over. And I looked forward to it, believe me. But, during this time I learned so much about how food really can effect your body. I saw changes I had never seen before. Despite being tired and overwhelmed at times it really did feel good to be healthy, eating a clean diet, and being in the best shape of my life. I made it through competition day (November 23, 2013) but the journey was far from over. Remember the flexibility that I couldn't wait for.......Well, the flexibility quickly turned to a new struggle. Actually this was an old struggle with a slightly different face. Balance! Hello........Hello.........Self-control are you still here? No answer. Are you hiding? Come out, I want you to meet my friend Balance. I know you will be good friends! O.K. not exactly how it went but you get the picture. I felt like I had lost control of what I had worked so hard on. The problem was I had no goal now, well not a specific one. The Holidays had tripped me up, I had given in to the lies that "I deserved a break. I deserved to eat a little, after all I had been on some form of diet for 7 months." But now it was January and I couldn't seem to get out of my hole. I desperately wanted my self-control back and wanted a balanced healthy lifestyle. So here I was again full circle struggling with the same things I had been struggling with when I began in the spring. Condemning myself for my lack of self-control, fear that I will gain all of my weight back, and feeling depressed and angry about it all. In her book Made to Crave- Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food Lysa TerKeurst talks about the truths in Gods word that can fill our hearts when these lies we tell ourselves creep in. www.madetocrave.org Old Lie: I am such a failure with this healthy eating thing. Why sacrifice this instant gratification now when I know eventually I'll just go back to my old habits anyhow? New Truth: I am not a failure. I am lavishly loved child of God. Part of my right as a child of God is to operate in a power beyond myself. The Holy Spirit is God's gift to me so it is possible for me to use the self-control I've been given. Favorite Verse: " How great is the love that the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" (John 3:1) The thing about me is when I get angry enough I get determined! So embracing this "truth" I was determined to use my God given self-control, find balance, and figure out this nutrition stuff . I began soaking in everything I could about nutrition and learning how to create healthy diet plans. Thanks to my friend and trainer Heather, she was willing to share her wealth of knowledge on the subject. I also checked out a few books at the library, connected with health related Facebook pages, and read nutrition articles. So now I'm on my way. Everyday I'm learning new things. My ultimate goal is to get a Certification in Nutrition, but for now I have started writing a few diet/meal plans including my own under the mentor-ship of Heather and doing pretty well with it. I am officially a nutrition NERD! I actually enjoy writing out meal plans. I am so excited to see where God takes me from here. My cravings haven't disappeared but I feel like I have a little more self-control. So then my journey continues! If you struggle, I would love to hear how you deal with your struggles with food. Comment below or email me mailto:melissakmacgregor@gmail.com. Oh and just a note.......! In my first week of my new diet plan I lost 5lbs! And I'm back in the Gym on a regular basis (well when the snow doesn't interfere). Blessings, Melissa OCD Mama I thought I would share a few before & after photos. Thank you to my contributing photographers Larry W. Stone Photography, JLH Photography, Robert Thomas Photography, and my friend Pearl Conroy. To see more Mt. Rodgers Competition photos click below
I knew training would be hard but last week was my hardest week so far. Depletion had set in! But I believe that God was teaching me a powerful lesson. Because it is in the times when we are weak that His power and strength can truly be seen. Monday afternoon after Boot Camp and on my way home from picking up my daughter I was feeling worn down and particularly emotional. Hungry, tired, and completely depleted I questioned my own abilities to see my training through. I thought, how will I make it through these next five weeks. To make matters worse I still had weight training to do for that day. Then I heard these words on the radio by Christian Music Artist Mandisa. "Overcomer" Staring at a stop sign Watching people drive by T Mac on the radio Got so much on your mind Nothing's really going right Looking for a ray of hope Whatever it is you may be going through I know He's not gonna let it get the best of you You're an overcomer Stay in the fight ‘til the final round You're not going under ‘Cause God is holding you right now You might be down for a moment Feeling like it's hopeless That's when He reminds You That you're an overcomer You're an overcomer Everybody's been down Hit the bottom, hit the ground Oh, you're not alone Just take a breath, don't forget Hang on to His promises He wants You to know The same Man, the Great I am The one who overcame death Is living inside of You So just hold tight, fix your eyes On the one who holds your life There's nothing He can't do He's telling You Maybe you have heard it many times as I had but on this day at this particular time her words hit me like a ton of emotional bricks. As tears streamed down my face I prayed, "God I do not feel like an "OVERCOMER". He whispered, but you are. Look how far you've come. Mandisa repeated these words again... You're an overcomer Stay in the fight ‘til the final round You're not going under ‘Cause God is holding you right now You might be down for a moment Feeling like it's hopeless That's when He reminds You That you're an overcomer You're an overcomer When I got home I picked up my weights and pushed through my training for the day. I know I did not have the physical and mental strength in me to get through that workout. But it did come, by relying on Gods strength! You see God used my physical and mental depletion to draw me to Himself. I know I serve a powerful God! Too often I do not tap into the power He so freely gives. I focus on mySELF and think I can do it on my own. I don't typically follow celebrities, musicians, etc. but I decided to do a little research on Miss Mandisa and the story behind the moving words of "OVERCOMER". What I found was a more amazing woman than her inspiring song. God has a awesome way of piecing things together because in her recent blog post on October 16, "An Eternal Perspective" , she talks about exactly what God was trying to teach me. In her opening paragraph she states, " If you've been to one of my concerts, you may have heard me talk about followers of Christ having resurrection power. That same power that raised a man from the dead can raise us from [insert impossible situation here]. Jesus said that, “whoever believes in Me will be able to do what I have done, but they will do even greater things…” (John 14:12) I don’t know about you, but there are some situations I am praying for that could really use some supernatural resurrection power!"
She goes on to say that when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He allowed Lazarus to die first. Death was necessary ingredient for God to be glorified. To see Mandisa's full blog post "An Eternal Perspective" click this link http://mandisaofficial.com/home/an-eternal-perspective/.The same is true for me. I must die to mySELF in order for Him to raise me up, to become an overcomer. I am continually amazed by what God has been teaching me and how this journey has transformed my life. Did I completely overcome my struggle through my feeling of depletion? I wish I could say yes. The truth is I felt even worse the next day. But, I continued to push through. And I'll have to say I have a awesome and gracious trainer who takes care of me. She adjusted my training and so far this week my energy is back and I've been feeling good! Will that be the last time I feel depleted, tired, worn down and want to quit? No, I'm sure it won't be. But, less than four weeks left and I am continuing my training " Stay(ing) in the fight ‘til the final round"! Because I Am an Overcomer!I hope that you are encouraged by Gods message! And I pray that whatever fight you might be in that you see yourself as an OVERCOMER too! Inspired by His Power, ~Melissa Last weekend we were invited to a Masquerade Ball Murder Mystery Party. This was hosted by our niece and nephew, the newly weds and frequent gathering hosts of the family (not a huge age difference in age by the way, in case you were wondering). They are always fabulously creative with theme, decorating, and food! Naturally I was excited to take part in this creative event. I had never done a murder mystery party before but I'll have to say I was most excited about dressing up and wearing a mask. This was a perfect opportunity to use a little creativity myself. I started off with a pretty little black mask from Target, though very nice on its own needed embellishments! Though I must admit, that this OCD Mama never intended on wearing a mask without my own creative touch. So I dusted off my craft supplies (yes its been that long) and got to work. Simple really, I just used some glitter glue and a few chipboard cutouts. I added a peacock feather hair clip , a $3 find at Wal-Mart! And there you have it! I am sad to say that I did not get photos of me wearing my mask. I was very busy role playing a murder mystery. I am happy to report I was not murdered nor was I a murderer. I was, however, the recent ex-girlfriend of the murdered (played by my nieces father, a bit comical in itself) and the murderer was my best friend, or so my script/clues said (played by my nephew). Surprisingly I was only accused only once out of 17 characters. Although I must confess I don't believe I have the best of role playing talents. Maybe I did not reveal me clues well enough. None the less it was a fun night. Hats of to my nephew and his bride! You did a wonderful job!
Thank you for letting me share my little creative project with you! Maybe it will inspire those of you wanting to take up your own costume design of an upcoming Halloween celebration. I say go for it! It doesn't have to be complicated or completely from scratch. Start with some simple elements and embellish (my most favorite word). I would love to hear or see your costume creations and ideas so send me a comment or e-mail melissakmacgregor@gmail.com. ~Melissa OCD Mama It has been about three weeks now since I officially began training for competition. I truly had hoped to journal more at this point. But, breaking into life of competition has been an adjustment for me and my family, for sure. The first week and a half was pretty hard. Outside of taking care of my kids I felt like my life was centered around diet and workouts. My body was tired and sore from increase in training (weights & cardio) and the depletion of calories. Don't misunderstand, I eat constantly. In fact I eat six to seven times depending on the day. The diet in itself has taken a lot of planning and organizing. Preparing meals for each day takes a lot of work. Then there is fitting those meals in between transporting my kids back and forth to school (remember my two different pick up times) and my work outs. It has been a challenge. I started out preparing all my meals in the evenings for the next day but that was exhausting. This left little time with my family and more time in the kitchen than I wanted. Then I got a bit of a handle on the process by cooking most of my food on Sunday and dividing my meals in storage containers for the week. I am now able to pull out the meals I need each day, pack them into my cooler in the morning and head out the door. Easy Peasy, lemon squeezie! No room for cheating! I've tried to make it as little change as possible for my kids, but for my husband it has meant a little extra help. OK that is saying it modestly, he has helped A LOT! He has been super supportive and a true blessing to this whole process. He helps me prepare my food and helps with the kids when I need to fit in a workout. He always asks, "What can I do?" I would not be able to do this without him! On the subject of "breaking in" the news, I find that reactions from family and friends have been interesting. Several times I got the question, Are gonna get ALL those muscles? Well yes, that is kind of the point of the competition. Am I going to become She Hulk in the next six weeks? Well no, that would be a slight misconception there! I assure you that this would be far from reality (for me at least). Training naturally (meaning no drug enhancement) that just won't happen. Over all my family and friends have been supportive. Some I will call "my groupies', those promising to come to the competition waiving signs and cheer from the audience. Then there are my "Facebook fans" my most overwhelming reactions of all! Early on I struggled with sharing my news and progress on Facebook. As a Christian woman I was worried that many would think it was immodest or about vanity. But, stepping out of my box (because after all that is what this is all about) I did share a few posts on Facebook. Here is one of my posts. ![]() God is "dragging" me out of my box on this journey of mine! I had a hard time with the vulnerability of taking photos of my progress but I am also amazed by the result! It seems a bit surreal! I am discovering how amazing these bodies God gave us really are! For the sake of modesty this is all I am ready to post right now! I could not believe the support I received on Facebook. I had so many encouraging comments in support of what I was doing. And most of all I was amazed that church friends who had seen the post were asking me abut the competition. But really I feel God is using this opportunity to stretch me to bring me out of my box (my comfort zone) and help inspire others. I do not expect it to be an easy journey (and it hasn't been) but it has been an amazing one so far. As my lifestyle, diet, and body continue to change over the next several weeks I hope you will support me too. Even if it is nothing more that prayer through this journey! "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me." Philippians 4:13 AMP Philippians 4:13 has been my life verse. Though not the version I have memorized I love how it uses the words "Christ Who empowers me". I constantly have to remind myself that He is the one who empowers me, especially when I feel weak! I need to remember this when I am not feeling confident or when I don't feel I have the physical strength. And I am taking it one day at a time. I would love to hear your comments here as well. Do you struggle with confidence or worry about what people think? I'd love to hear how you deal with your struggle or maybe how God is dealing with you. Thank you for joining in my journey to competition I know there will be much more to share! I promised you some big news so here it goes....
Those that know me or follow me on Facebook know that the last five months have brought on quite a fitness "addiction". Following my new found addiction I was presented with an opportunity that would bring a life changing experience for me. For the past few weeks I have been praying, pondering, and struggling with my decision to pursue this opportunity. This will bring my commitment to fitness to a whole new level. Though I am terrified of the "new territory" I am blessed to have support from my husband (the love of my life), family and friends (the few that already know). This is going to be a challenge but I am excited to share the journey with all of you on my blog. I'm going to keep you in suspense for a few more brief moments.... so keep reading! I want to start with a testimony of the last few months and the amazing transformation I went through. Make sure you read to the end then you will see my big surprise! Welcome to my first official post as the "OCD Mama". To fully understand what defines me as an OCD Mama please take a moment to look at my About page if you have not already. I hope you will find the humor in the double meaning.
I find it ironic that my first post to my newly revamped blog "OCD Mama" is on the first day of school! Ok maybe not so ironic when you're a Work-at-Home Mama and it's the first day of "just a little bit of freedom after a LONG summer". I have to admit that my full fledged creativity has not unleashed yet after a hectic and eventful summer. But those creative juices did start flowing a bit during my morning of freedom in one of my favorite stores, Hobby Lobby. Actually I believe the organization side of my brain is monopolizing a bit.To be quite honest my OCD tendencies (in its true form, not the creative meaning) have left me a bit overwhelmed. Well, correction, this is where the two OCD definitions collide. Now that school has started my brain is flooded with to-do lists ,organizational ideas to deal with what's on my to-do lists, then a creative approach to my organizational ideas for my to-do list. You get the idea! My brain feels like a jumbled mess! And I desperately want things to fall into place.....LIKE RIGHT NOW! Am I the only one? I am so thankful though for one of my biggest encouragements www.Proverbs31.org and the daily devotions Encouragement Today that I recieve in my e-mail box every (week)day. Today's writter Glynnis Whitwer talks about dealing with those times we want to procrastinate because we are afraid of the changes we need to make today or because we are overwhelmed and can't think straight. In addition to her devotion in Encouragement Today she added to her own blog http://glynniswhitwer.com/, a creative way of organizing her To-do lists and ongoing projects, a project management binder . I am often inspired by Glynnis and the wisdom she shares about her gift of organization. I may even share in another post the binder I created (over a year ago). Unlike Glynnis I didn't exactly stick to it......maybe I should get that thing out and try again! On the top of my organizational To-do list would be to figure out our new school year routine. This year I am challenged for sure. My oldest (son) now has a full school day but, my daughter still only a half day. My commute one way is at least twenty minutes. This means A LOT of driving. Then there is squeezing in a nap for the younger one in a two and a half hour time frame. Unfortunately that doesn't include my travel time home and back to pick up my son. Today my daughter played in her room rather than take a nap in our tiny time frame. She finally fell asleep in the car on the way to pick up her brother. I'm not sure if a nap in the car is the solution but it's exhausting just thinking about it! It seems as though its just going to be a long year with lots of driving. What are your methods of organization for your family, school, work and fun activities? Did you have to reorganize your schedule this new school year? I'd love to hear your schedule solutions and daily routines. You can leave me a comment or email me at melissakmacgregor@gmail.com. Be on the lookout for my upcoming "guest" post on www.gymnutfitness.com I will be sharing my amazing transformation (body, mind, and spirit) in the last four months. Also I'll be tweaking the design of my blog so be sure to stop by to see what is new!
O.K. so my plans for my blog this year did not go as planned. I truly hoped after giving up my business in January I would continue sharing some of my knack for creativity and organisation through my blog. But, God just had other plans for me and my family this year.
So what did happen? Well, the story is quite long to share all of it right now but, I hope to be a bit more focused in 2013 and share a few of those stories . In the mean time I would like to share my most recent project, my family's 2012 highlights. Yes, involving some creativity and organization...... not to mention a few headaches, late nights, a near meltdown, and finally a just in the nick of time order placement for Christmas delivery! This year has been filled with lots of change for our family, some self discovery, tons of re-organization, and a little creativity to get us through it all! For this particular project I discovered that I DO NOT have the patience for the digitally creative projects! But overall I am pretty happy with the result! Don't look to hard for mistakes.....the just in the nick of time order did not leave time for a "once more lookover". And yes, I am trying to contain my OCD tendencies to worry about any imperfections. But, I look at those pages filled with my babies sweet faces and am reminded that the mistakes don't matter. Those memories are now bound there for us to cherish for years to come. Just another nugget of truth I re-discovered this year..... that making memories with my family is one of the most precious things in my life! I hope you enjoy my family photos and memories for this year. My most favorite pages are 11,12, & 13.... This is not the end, I know we have a few more memories to be had for this year and I am looking forward to 2013! Thanks for stopping by so I could share my most precious moments of 2012! ~Melissa
