Hijack

I decided to hijack the blog and thought maybe we could both write on it. It's a little more cohesive to write my list(s) on here than on my other blog...plus I don't keep up with that regularly anyway!

I've been battling allergies for the past 3 days and have felt downright miserable; I thought it was turning into a bad sinus infection. No, really, there's a picture of me on Jim's phone that should never be seen, because it documents just how miserable I looked. While I'm on the upswing (I think) I am still pretty tired and trying to make sure I take it easy...which I feel bad doing when I have a to-do list about 3 miles long!

That's where the change is hitting me. Wanting to nest, to have everything in its place and organized. And when it's not, I feel cluttered, on top of stepping around it in my house. But, while I sit here typing and feeling slightly guilty for not having more energy as my husband is working away in the bathroom tearing apart our shower...there is time for thanks.

#11: enough tile for the bathtub at 90% off retail-we can finally do this project without spending much money!

#12: security knowing God provides what we need, when we need it (monetarily, emotionally, etc.)

#13: flowers. God didn't have to make them at all, and He definitely didn't have to make them beautiful, but they are.

#14: the opportunity to water said flowers and care for God's creation

#15: learning to garden. While it may seem like a bit of a flop this year, we're learning.

#16: a husband who is willing to talk, to listen, and to lead

#17: a God who cares for my company and the employees more than I do

#18: learning, in general. Life, school, work...lots of lessons to be learned

#19: feeling this Little One move inside me. There's nothing quite like it, and it brings me so much joy!

#20: Old friends that last through so much; the ability to laugh and have fun together

I believe I'm off to bed shortly...the mess will have to wait til the morning.
