New Traditions

We have been so caught up in our own lives that I think sometimes we just lose track of what is really important. I really wanted to start some new traditions with Eve. The first thing I decided to do is to take Eve on a lunch date just the two of us at least once a month. We did it last month and had such a blast. We go to Streets of New York and have french fries and coke. It might not be healthy but it is a special time for us. We just love our lunch dates. I think it is the one meal a month I don't have to fight with her to eat. Adam and I also decided to start going to Gelato Freeze every Monday because they have buy one get one free. $4 gets super yummy Gelato for the whole family. My current favorite flavor is pink grapefruit. I usually get a scoop of raspberry too so that Eve can eat it all. I honestly don't think she cares what flavor it is as long as it is pink. I think we need to focus more on being a family. We get so caught up in doing what makes us all individually happy that we don't do what it takes to be a strong connected family as much as we can. I love my husband and daughter and I want to focus on them as the center of my world instead of work/school being my driving force. Family comes first and sometimes I lose sight of that.
I also lost sight of God. I have not been very religious lately but I think it is something I need to find again. I started praying the rosary again and I am doing the Rosary Novena. I think there are a lot of people who need prayer and healing right now. I am trying really hard to not ask God for anything besides to walk beside me as I struggle and to help families that are dealing with fertility issues find peace. I want to continue to find peace in my life and I think it means I will need to have some guidance from above.
