My last post was titled "Growing Up" because celebrating Macie's 2nd birthday makes me realize how fast time flies. But, it's also made me realize that I'm getting older! I know...I know...I'm only 27. But, when I think back to my teenage years, it seems like it was forever ago!!
Anyway, I didn't think there would be a time where I would feel happy to be getting older. However, I've been reminiscing of the past lately and it is really humorous to think about my perception of life back in those days.
I'm sure my husband will enjoy this post because for the first time I can honestly (and openly) admit that I am extremely happy about being "wrong" about many things. Back then I thought I had everything figured out. While my "plan" didn't change much (go to college, get a job, get married, have chidren, etc.), it definitely came with a few suprises.
And at this moment, I am thankful for those surprises. I feel fortunate that things didn't work out exactly how I "thought" they should. If you ask some of my best friends at the time, I'm sure they can easily remember certain instances where my "plan" wasn't working like I thought it should!! Things usually happen when you least expect it. And again, these are the moments that I am most thankful for. I am extremely blessed to be the daughter of loving and supportive parents, the sister of a very talented brother, the wife of an incredibly giving husband, the mother of two very beautiful little girls, and the teacher of many very precious and deserving children! So...getting older isn't too bad!! :)
By the way, the girls are great. Josie is going to sleep completely on her own in her crib!!! (Thanks goodness) However, Macie has turned into a night owl and has become more clingy lately!! It works out well though. I am taking advantage of the mommy time while Ben is at work!
I'll try to get my husband to post every once in awhile so you all can be spared of my rambling!! :)
