- 5 days until our 2 year anniversary (this time two years ago I was beside myself with excitement!!!)
- 3 1/2 days of school before the summer!
- 4 1/2 days of work before I become a "stay at home mom"
- 8 days until I get to see my wonderful college roomies again
- 9 days until my baby shower that my sweet friends are throwing for me
- 36(ish) days until we move to Lubbock
- 88(ish) days until we get to meet our precious baby girl!!!
I know that we are to live for today, and cherish this moment, and honestly I do feel like I am doing that. Especially as I feel this little girl kicking and moving inside of me, it's hard not to feel "in the moment," and to cherish every second of it. But, I have always been a "count down" kind of a person, and I feel like there are a lot of exciting and scary things happening in our lives in the very near future...and so I countdown (as I cherish today??). :)
Some things I wish I could countdown to:
- when our house will sell
- when we will have a name picked out for our little girl
- when we will find, buy, and move into our very own house in Lubbock
But, "there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven." It's not in our control, and for that I am relieved. Our faith is in someone so much bigger than us who sees our future. Praise the Lord for that! And so until then, I remember that "those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint." (I can't imagine running at this point in my pregnancy)...and so I can wait on the Lord...He is my strength!
Wow! You have quite the list of exciting things ahead! I am so excited for you and can't wait to hear all about your life as a new mom. Can you believe it has already been 2 years since we were packing up our rooms at Allen Academy? We definitely need to catch up soon. Hope you have a great last few days at school!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are going to be very busy! I'm sad to hear you're leaving Waco, but know you'll be glad to be in Lubbock {I think...isn't that where your from?}. You'll have to keep this going so we can keep in touch!
