Why this blog title?

         Just a little back story to my life thus far. I am 23 years old, wife to a U.S. Marine, and mother to a gorgeous little boy named Carter. I met my husband in July of 2009 and we were married in December 2009, 2 weeks before he left for boot camp for the Marine Corps. We were stationed in San Diego, CA in July 2010 and on April 29, 2011, we brought our little guy into the world. Our lives have been forever changed for the best!
         Being a young married couple with a baby, not to mention being 2000 miles away from every family member and friend we know, has been tough, but I wouldn't change this life for anything. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that "the grass is greener on the other side", and then something reminds me that even if I were to get to the other side, the grass would turn brown and be greener on the side I came from. 
          I ran across a quote one day that stated "Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, It means that you've decided to look past the imperfections.". I fully agree that if everyone would realize that there is absolutely nobody in this world who is perfect or has a perfect life, we would all be happier with everything around us. 
         With this blog, I hope to inspire all who reads it to live life happily, no matter the imperfections. We only get one life to live, so don't waste it on trying to be "perfect" because there is no such thing.
