Row, row your boat

Sometimes being a married adult can be really difficult. 

(Hahahaha Had to laugh at myself for stating something so obvious.)

And of course with that comes difficult discussions and decisions. So tonight Michael and I were talking. And because I was a weepy girl I wanted to make sure he was understanding me and that we were in agreement.

Me: I just want to make sure we're on the same boat about this.

Michael: We're always on the same boat. Just sometimes we may row in opposite directions. But we eventually figure it out then start heading in the same direction.

God knew I would need a man like him.

I'm beyond blessed to have him in my boat...

rowing gently down the stream. ;-)

"Mommy, no more animal towels."

Daniel informed me last night he didn't want to use the hooded animal towels anymore. He only wants to use the "color towels" now, referring to the bath towels we use.

How did my baby go from this

to this, seemingly over night?

Where has the time gone?

My puppy is growing up too fast.

God's perfect timing

a year ago this month we decided to go for it.

but we're still waiting.

sometimes i want to cry, "why not?"

other times i ask, "what is Your plan?"

and then there are days like today when i remember

not my timing, but His.

then i feel so small.

how dare i question Him?
but i know He won't forsake me.

and i know that He will be there during this journey He is leading us on.

no matter how long it takes.



Head in the clouds

I had to "write" this down before I forget. This is a conversation Daniel and I had at a red light this evening.

Daniel: Mommy, do you see that?
Me: See what?
D: That?
M: The clouds? (Stretching my neck to see what he's pointing at.)
D: Yes! Do you see the animals?
M: What animals do you see? (Because I'm not seeing it.)
D: It's a camel. With the bump and a stick on the bottom. (bump, not hump. hehehe)
M: It is?
D: Yah, do you see his wings and trunk? He's sneezing! (a giggle from the backseat)
M: I do! (I don't. LOL)
The light turns green and I start moving.
D: Mommy, it's following us!

I love how his imagination has just blossomed in the last few months. In his three year old way he reminds me it's okay to have my head in the clouds on occasion!
