1. Can't believe I have two children and another on the way. It seriously freaks me out and brings me so much joy all at the same time. Not sure how that is possible, but it is.
2. So thrilled that Jared is now 3 months away from graduation. What a journey it has been for both of us. Next step, better-paying job so I don't have pressure to work. Trying very hard to not let this stress me out.
3. The marathon that has been the "short-sale" of our home (total misnomer by the way) may possibly be coming to an end this month. I hate being at the bank's mercy. It pains me to leave because we are losing so much equity in what was our first home filled with so many memories. Although, I am excited to have enough space for our growing family and a yard for these crazy boys to expel their energy in. (Also, ecstatic that I won't have to climb so many stinkin' stairs!)
4. Missing Kevin, Melissa, and Nathan so much and they have only been gone a week! Ethan will miss his cousin and friend and I will miss my sister-in-law and friend. I really love those guys and hope that all their dreams come true in their new home.
5. It's been nearly a year since my sweet Nana Grace passed away. She definitely kissed little Grayson on his way done. I think he's just about as sweet as she was and even looks like a little Pomar. Nana is my hero and I hope to be like her some day. I love finding little reminders of her everywhere I look, including those crazy lizards flashing their red handkerchiefs.
6. Ethan is potty-trained! We still have a couple accidents a week, but he is officially wearing big boy briefs (his favorites are Buzz Lightyear and Thomas the Train). I am so proud of him, you'd think he cured cancer or something. Heck! I'm proud of myself seeing as I think all the gray hairs I have came from this experience. Hardest thing I've had to do in a long time!
7. I know I have a lot of less conservative friends and family that were happy to see Prop 8 overturned in California. I don't usually express my political views, especially when they get muddled up with my religious beliefs; however, I was disappointed to see the voters cast aside in lieu of one judge's opinion. Kind of made me wonder what's the point in voting after all. Hate seeing democracy fail and I've decided maybe I should become a conspiracy theorist and stop trusting the government at all.
8. Have totally started feeling baby #3 move around. He's really on his way and I hope he doesn't pick up on the crazy energy that is his mommy and turn out to be unstable when he arrives.
9. I seriously love my family and by family I mean my family of origin, my in-law's, the family Jared and I are creating, my church family, and all my wonderful friends that feel like family! I don't know why I have been so blessed with so many people to love in this life, but I am truly grateful. It is exciting and tear-inducing to see such lovely things happen in the lives of those I love.
