It makes my heart brighter

I have always been the type that has had the best of intentions but never went the extra mile to help others. Yes, I know I just admitted that I was a crappy person but I never realized then that helping others makes my heart shine brighter. Now that I’ve realized that, I have been helping out at our church’s clothes closet and Angel Food. I love helping others. Aside from all the talk about prenatal vitamins during the clothes closet, it’s been a lot of fun. My cousin is pregnant so we always talk about how she’s doing, how far along she is, and then of course baby names. I am so excited because her first child, Ava, is our flower girl and she is so adorable. I can’t wait for another Ava since they are having another baby girl and they already have her named picked out. They chose to name her Klara Marie which I actually like. My cousin liked Klara because it’s Russian and since our heritage is Ukrainian, he figured that was close enough.

The whole baby thing is seriously making me even more excited to get married and start our family sometime after our first year of marriage. We would start immediately but I have a weight loss goal to meet and luckily for me, Jonathan is totally supportive of that!
