This evening I am in a cheery mood. Usually my cheery moods are reserved for day time, so it's a peculiar evening I suppose! I guess I have a lot on my mind, and so I don't feel like going to bed, which would of course, be ever so boring.
I feel like I have so very much to be grateful for right now. For one, the semester is over and I'm finally beginning to feel free from its grasp. What could be better than that, right? Except I also get to look forward to going HOME to TEXAS and seeing my FAMILY! And those who know me, know that what that really means is taking lots of pictures... especially with my mommy and my nephews and nieces, since they're my favorite. Not much makes me happier in this world than taking [good] pictures with people that I love doing fun, happy, sun-shiney things. And if I'm lucky the sun will still exist in Texas this time of year, unlike in Rexburg!
On top of both of those wonderful things, I have a friend. It's been a really long time since I've had a friend in Rexburg that I could play with. And now, I have a friend. And she is wonderful to me, and we have long conversations and we hug, and we smile and we laugh and we cry and it's great. She is a wonderful reminder to me that God loves me individually, which is of course, another thing in my life that I am eternally grateful for... The Lord and his ever redeeming love.
Plus.... (I know, so many things, right!?) in less than a month I find out if I'm having a girl or a boy. I think that will be the point when I feel ready to start spending money on baby things. It'll feel much more real to me when I can attach a gender to the invisible, supposed "it" in my belly.
Life is on the ups.
I'm looking forward to many things, but I'm able to enjoy today as well... which is by far one of the greatest blessings we can have in life, in my opinion.
