Hi Friends, I hope everyone is having an Amazing Summer!! We just returned back from our Trip to Bali & India!! We seriously had an Amazing time!!! Now we are trying to get life back to normal (whatever that is) and enjoy the last few weeks before School starts.

 So we went to Bali and you guys it was Amazing!!! We met my husbands family there (a total of 15 peeps all together) and enjoyed every second of it!! While there I guess you can say I had an epiphany of sorts.

 The past couple years (since having my youngest) I decided I needed a change of scenery so to speak, I was someone who needed to please everyone, I would go out of my way to do things for people (even putting my own needs on hold) I cared so much what people thought of me, that I would constantly worry!! So I decided to take a step back and find myself and figure out what I want and need!!!

 So back to my epiphany!! While in Bali, we had a day of "water activities". At first I was super hesitant to participate, you guys I am such a chicken!!! But we were all deciding what activities we were going to do and finally I said OK (very hesitantly, might I add). So we decided on Ocean Walking, Parasailing & Tubing. First activity was Ocean Walking, we got there and I thought this was going to be super easy, guys I almost chickened out!!! Seriously!!!! First of all I thought I was going to die on the SPEED Boat ride to get to the Ocean Walk Boat......lol!!!! Once we got there they placed this heavy helmet on our us and I literally freaked out!!!! I told them never mind, I was out! The instructor was Amazing and talked to me and was like "You can do this". So, I gave it another shot, once down on the Ocean Floor I still was freaking out but I wanted to do this, NO, actually I NEEDED to do this!!! I had to prove to myself that I can do hard and scary things! So I did it and guess what??? I felt Amazing afterward (once my heart started beating again).

 After the Ocean walk we went Parasailing (honestly I was super hesitant with this one, heights are a huge fear of mine) but everyone was doing it, and by everyone I mean even my in-laws and kids so there was no way to not do this. I mean my 7 year old was going to do it! So my husband and I did it together, we got harnessed in, my heart was beating so fast it might explode, got in position to sail and you guys it was AMAZING!! Once we got in the air, I literally felt this wave of emotion hit me, I was getting teary-eyed and could not believe that I faced a huge fear of mine! I didn't want it to end! At that very moment, I felt a peace come over me that I have never felt before.

 You guys life is not always perfect and sometimes we lose our way in life but remember when that happens you can take the time to find yourself. I have finally found my way, I have found a passion within myself and for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm on the right path. I'm not sure where the future will take me but I'm excited and exhilarated and ready to tackle my passion.

 Ok, so enough rambling, I want to share some photos from our trip with you!! I hope this helps you if you are in the same situation as myself!! Life's not Perfect but it sure is Beautiful!
