This is the last chance I will have to write for about a week... So I'm writing for Mother's Day early.
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms who are reading this--Especially mine! You're amazing.
In other news, Charlie finally won her battle today. I bought 2 pairs of maternity pants today and I am wearing one at the moment. Big girl... She keeps growing, kicking, pushing, squirming. It's beautiful, really, knowing this little one has made me a Mama.
That said, today is my very first Mother's Day! I received a beautiful card in the mail from my own dear mother blessing me and wishing me a happy Mother's Day. How special that reminder is. (:
Other than feeling more and more pregnant every day, I have been working at Anna's House as a hostess a few days every week. This upcoming week I will be there almost every day, thanks to Tulip Time. It's a crazy time in Holland, MI.
Garage sales are popping up everywhere. With garage sales come a ton of great deals on baby clothes and toys! I am in mommy heaven... It's so fun to play dress up with Charlie--and she isn't even here yet!
Joshua and I are doing well. I keep saying that we aren't supposed to be doing "good enough" at everything... We are in month 7 (almost 8) of marriage and we have a long time to figure it out and get it all right. However, that doesn't mean marriage isn't hard. Take two very different people who have very different opinions and had very different lives and smash them and all their things into 5 little rooms for 8 months and just take a look and see how pretty it is. It's not pretty some days. But no matter what day, I wouldn't trade my Joshua for any other, perfect, "better" man. I'm excited to get "good enough" at more and more things each year, and each year find more things we aren't "good enough" at for the rest of our lives. Why? Because I decided a year and 4 months ago that I would love him. Forever. And that's all there is to it.
Tulip Time is coming, summer is around the corner, and I have already sunburned my fair, fair skin 3 times. But the sunshine is good and I can not complain.
Joshua is home... That's all for today. See you later!
