WOW! 2009. Crazy. So, now that all our New Year's Eve Company---well, most of it-- has headed home, here I am still wide awake. (too much coffee and energy drink. :) ) I was just thinking about how much I can't believe will happen this year. My little boy will turn 4!!! And my little girl will turn 2! Rob and I will be married for 10 years and will have been a couple for 13 years!! My family will have been a blended family for over 10 years... seems like longer some days and like we went from being an at home family of 3 to 8 about a blink ago. I will have been at my job for 6 years in February and still loving almost every day of it! (aside from the being away from my babies and Rob thing...)
Amazing how quickly it seems like time is going. Didn't we just get married? Weren't G & E just born? Tonight, my little man was running around, playing with his cousin and sister, and he just seemed so grown up. Where'd my baby go? Seriously! How'd he get this big? And EmJay! She is one ornery little miss. When she has her mind set... Good Grief!
Rob is still at home with the kids full time for the winter. If someone would have told me that one day we would have a complete role reversal in this area of our family... I would have laughed them out of the room, but here we are... neither baby has been to daycare and has only been with either Rob, my mom or their Auntie Shell! Amazing! It's so crazy how freaked out I was when I found out we were pregnant and now here we are and daddy still loves being home with his kiddos.
Rob and I are leading worship at two churches and even with the business of it, I know that we are doing exactly what God has called us to do!
I'm pretty excited about 2009. I'm continuing to learn to trust God everyday---sometimes every minute! :) And learning to wait EXPECTANTLY for what God has. Not hesitantly, but with anticipation and expectation that God has good things for us!
Happy New Year! Bring on 2009!
