Here we are again! Hello Thursday, and one more day left of the work week! This week I am thankful for a handful of things. =)
You knew this was coming- but yes, I am thankful for my birthday this week! I’ve talked and talked about it so I wont yap about this! I just felt the need to say that I am truly thankful for another year of life!
This certainly sounds lame just by the title- I know. But it’s so true. Through this website I have met tons of other female bloggers close in age and all with similar interests! Some of them I’ve literally “known” since I was around 14, and others are new friends! All of them (old & new!) have been a comfort to me at times when I couldn’t, or just plain didn’t want to, turn to people I’m close to. There’s just something about tweeting an issue and having a flood of opinions and support come back with advice and reassurance when you need it most. I hope to meet a lot of you (if I haven’t) in real life, at some point. =)
And speaking of (a lot) of my internet girlfriends- there are babies everywhere these days! I have never known (online and off) so many pregnant women or women who have recently given birth ever. in. my life. And I’ve been very thankful for so much honesty from them all- no one is glamorizing motherhood around these parts, and I love reading/hearing about REAL life. It’s beautiful, and scary- but it’s real. I appreciate it so much because now and then I need a small reminder that there is no doubt in my mind that I am not ready for all of that, just yet! Sometimes I catch baby fever when I flip through FaceBook pictures- I wont lie. But then I spend some time with rambunctious family members (who I love dearly!) and I remember that it will be a while before Nate and I are ready for that kind of responsibility! Mostly just.. it will be a while before we develop that type of patience. Hah. Now of course, should something just “happen” we could handle it. But I just can’t explain how much I love the way it is right now- just Nate & I. And it’s hard to imagine it any other way sometimes… which I know will change down the road. But for now, I enjoy being selfish with my Husband and I’m thankful to spend these next few years alone with him doing whatever it is that we want to do. =)
Billy and I still don’t have any patience for other kids, only Everly. LOL. I heard people tell me it’d be like that but I was scared & didn’t believe them, but luckily your patience for your own baby is a lot different. 🙂
Not trying to get you pregnant or anything… cough
I see what you're doing *waves finger* .. 😉
I know you're right though!
I wanna meet you!
I wanna meet you too!! 😀
