So I decided to start a blog...

Life can get just a little bit crazy sometimes. Ok, a lot of the times. So the little things often get forgotten for a while. Right now with me having a full-time job and Josh going to school full-time, we often get running around and forget to relax and enjoy ourselves and all the things we've been blessed with. I've always attempted to keep a journal, but that's always been one of the first things I forget to do when life gets a little crazy.

I've been bouncing the idea of starting a blog back and forth for a while now, but was nervous about doing it because I'm not that great of a writer and I didn't want to be that cliche married girl who starts a blog. But I'm hoping to document at least some of my life down before I forget it all :)

And just to help it make more sense, I titled this blog "Here is Good" for a couple of reasons. I'm going to be writing things down about our life, but I also want to put some meaningful things down too - things that make me happy or inspire me. And something that I've only begun to realize is that no matter how crazy life can be sometimes, there is always something good you can find too. Right where you are is good. Right now is good. Here is good.

Little Baby Steps

Lately, I've been feeling the need to share what Josh and I have been going through. This is very close to my heart, and I haven't wanted to talk about it at all. But over the past few weeks, I've had the feeling in my heart that I need to be more open about it. And I've found that the more I talk about it, the better I feel. I'm not sharing to make you feel sorry for me - that's the last thing I want. I just want you to be able to understand. (I'm going to be very blunt and open, so if you don't want to know all that many personal things about me, you might want to skip this post.) Growing up as the oldest of nine children, I learned from an early age how to care for kids. I helped feed my brother when I was 2, changed my first diaper when I was 8, and by 12, I was babysitting for my parents as well as others in my church. I grew to absolutely love babysitting! I loved getting to be with all these adorable children. And so I went from watching...

Josh's Thoughts

I guess at this point I should just let you all know, if you’re not interested in hearing the emotional side of Josh Guin, you should stop reading now. (I wouldn’t blame you. I tend to get a little wordy when this happens.) As the first sentence of this post suggests, I’m here to talk about the difficulty of having a baby. Specifically, with my wife and I. I’ve been trying to figure out a good way to cope with it and so far, I really haven’t found anything good. So, here I am at 11:42 pm typing away. I hope that you’ll forgive the scattered nature of this post. I don’t do this sort of thing. Since Alaura and I have started trying to have a child, it has been quite a roller-coaster1 of emotions. As I’m sure many of you have experienced, babies can cause a lot of emotion even before they’re in existence. Happiness, sadness, anger, jealousy, etc. All of these emotions can make life very interesting, to say the least. When I met my wife, she was such a fun loving, caring perso...

The Story of Us - Part 6

After Josh and I had our little chat, Josh kept trying to invite me to do things for a couple more days, but eventually stopped. He would still come around to my apartment to hang out and would sit with my roommates and I at devotional  and church every week, but it wasn't nearly as awkward as before because I didn't feel that pressure that I did when he was actively asking me on dates. And like I've said before, Josh was a good friend and so I was glad our dates hadn't ruined that completely. And I turned my attention back to figuring out if I was going to go on a mission. My mind was almost constantly going back and forth about it and I was getting more and more confused, and I couldn't figure out why. I talked with my parents about it, prayed about it, studied the scriptures, read talks, and such, but was still having this persistent confusion. Then one night when I was kneeling on my bed saying a prayer before bed, I was praying about mission stuff again, when...
