The ups and downs

I debated whether to blog about this but, I read a quotation the other day that really stuck with me and is a big reason behind why I'm writing this today.  It said: "The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we  compare our behind the scenes with everyone else's highlight reel" With the internet and social media it's very easy to just see everyone's highlight reel, see what they want you to see and really get down about yourself.  So in an effort to be completely transparent and honest about what I'm doing, I will share the good and the bad.  So, here I go.  As I mentioned earlier this week, I really enjoyed our vacation.
