Living in the moment...

Y'all I'm bad at wishing my life away. I do it just about every day. Who doesn't, right? We see the calendar and think, "When is that day gonna get here?" OR "Monday, why can't you be Friday?"

I know I'm not the only one who does this. At least I hope I'm not. And to be honest, I just need to be still, and live in the moment. What's not to love about this life? I'm blessed beyond measure to be living this wonderful life, and I need to stop and just "smell the roses" and smile at what's sitting right in front of me.

• I love every minute that I get to spend with my husband, and grateful that he wants to spend just as much time with me. Since we've been married (which will be a year next Tuesday) we've only been apart about 15 days, and that was because we weren't living in the same city right after we were married. Just so you know... those days were excruciating. I love going to bed with him every night, and waking up to him every morning. I love our whisper fights. And, I promise, one day I'll explain what that means. =) I love that we have a routine, and that we enjoying our routine. We don't jet set to another exotic city every month, or spend thousands of dollars on unpractical things just to say that we have them. We don't need those things to be happy. We are happy just being us. And just being us makes me SO happy. One thing is for sure... I never wish my time with him flies by. And this might be the only time I don't wish my life away, oh, and weekend's too! Ha!

• Sometimes I complain about my job, but I do love my job and the people I work with, and for. Why is it I always wish for Friday every Monday? Cause, I love it when we are all laughing at something that is truly not that funny, but we still bring it up ever so often. And, I'm happy to have a job... don't get me wrong here. I especially love all the money have comes from working those long hours every week. But it's like every time Monday rolls around, my eyes roll and I start begging for Friday.

• Life in general I seem to wish away... I can't wait for vacation time, for football season, for fall, for the holidays, for my birthday, for the sweet sound of a baby crying in our home. Yeah... that last one. That's the one I need to learn to be patience with. While we weren't necessarily trying to have a baby when we got pregnant last September, it was the best feeling in the world! And the worst feeling was finding out we weren't anymore after Thanksgiving. Since then... I have longed to have the feeling of being pregnant again. We are longing for that sweet scent of a newborn baby to snuggle with, and  those sweet milestones that other parents brag about and love. And while, I know that we will have our day... I'm having a hard time being patience.

So, until that moment when my dreams do come true... I'm going to (try to) live in the moment, and try not to stress about the when, where and why. I know our future is already written by the greatest author, ever, and each and every day is one more day and journey through life that we are blessed with. Learning to live in the moment will not happen overnight, but I'm willing to work at it and smile through the tears.

This is me, being honest and real with y'all, my sweet blog readers.
