Catching Up!

Yesterday I got to talk with an old friend who I miss very much. It has been since I was pregnant with my 17 month old that we had spoken.  That is just way too long to go without catching up.  I am so excited for the upcoming visitors that we are going to be able to see this year.  We have friends from North Carolina coming early fall, and adopted grandparents from Iowa coming in May!  Having friends over is something to look forward to, and it is always fun to have something that you are waiting on, something that you are looking forward to, counting the days down until...

Speaking of counting days and looking forward to seeing friends - We can't wait to go to St.Louis for Joshua's baby brother's wedding.  It is going to be so great to see our family that we haven't seen in over a year now, as well as Grandparents we haven't seen since October.  Living far away requires times for catching up and that is just what I have been doing today.
Caught up on the phone with my mom...
Still in the process of catching up with my Laundry,
Need to catch up on the rest of the house cleaning!

After my phone conversations yesterday I realize that my friends have been reading the old blogity blog and feel caught up with me through it - HOWEVER - it needs to become a two way street! They need to update some status' or something. I will do better - its always my mantra - Im going to blog more - Im going to stay connected more - so here's to that!

Life is good, and busy.  I am so very happy and full of joy!  I feel settled more and more all the time in Texas.  I have been taught this lesson too many times now not to know that God really has everything under control, even when things might seem chaotic around you - He is always aware and nothing takes Him by surprise.  I move forward into my everyday knowing that.  In the center of His will for my life is the only place that I  want to be.
