Today is 1 month from my Board's test exactly. Also 2 months till we move to Nebraska. If I stop and think about it all, its so overwhelming. In the next year I have to move 4 times, find a job that pays enough to take care of my student loans, maybe buy a house, maybe start thinking seriously about kids...Its so much to think about, so many details to plan.
One thing I have learned since moving here is that if I don't take the time to enjoy individual days, hours, moments...if I'm just always looking ahead to the future and planning my perfect plan...I miss now.
So, here's a few snapshots from the past couple of weeks. They've had their ups and downs. Some extremely stressful minutes/days...but they always seem better looking back.
Valentine's Dinner: Steak, asparagus, tomatoes
Sweet Valentine's presents: milk foamer (for my coffee) and muffin top maker plus baby yellow roses and a sweet card
Eyeball: Expensive fun, silly photo booth, dancing
Everybody wants their life to be beautiful. But everybody's life is hard. School is hard, work is hard, marriage is hard...but its worth it.

So tell me why I should run for cover
At the sound of the coming thunder
All I hear is the cry of my lover
So take your shot
I won't turn back
I won't turn back
Faithful like a soldier
Who's answered to the call
Even when his back's against the wall
So tell me why I should run for cover
At the sound of the coming thunder
All I hear is the cry of my lover
Yeah take your shot
I won't turn back
A lot of cross roads ahead but take heart! You know the prefect guide. It is sad to leave old friends behind but a joy to meet new friends -- and you always have each other plus a friend that is closer than a brother. Enjoy now and take rest in the simple fact that you loved by many and loved by the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI think your muffin top pan is still at the church... I wouldn't want you to forget it!! :)
