Another day that feels unproductive. I did nothing really taxing today yet it's only 7pm and I already feel exhausted. I still have clothes in the dryer that need to be folded and put away. I have clothes in the washer that need to be drying. I still have a 2 year old to put to bed who lately has made that a nightmarish chore. So right now I am just simply trying to escape to anywhere.. and this was the fastest place I could reach. lol

I didn't get to do my exercise today but I did get my devotion in and that I love. I have been very consistent with that lately but I've been putting forth an effort. I am going to start the Beth Moore Believing God bible study next. I am sorta sad my current Creative Correction bible study is ending but I am excited about what new things God might be teaching me.

Please pray for God's Will in a job move that may or may not be in our near future. My husband was up for a promotion in Richmond, VA was told he definitely had the job and then later found out maybe not. We want whatever God's will is for our lives at this time so please keep us in your prayers.

I want to start decorating because Christmas is my favorite holiday and last year we were moving due to a promotion (yes God is good) and I didn't even get to put up a tree this year I am afraid to put up my tree because we may be moving. For those of you who don't know me well my tree usually goes up right after Halloween. I usually skip thanksgiving and jump right in with two feet to Christmas. lol Did I mention it was my favorite holiday. I have already been wrapping Christmas presents.

This will also be the first Christmas my husband and I have been away from home but now we live so far away it just isn't feasible to go home for Christmas. We live in FL and family lives in KY. It's bittersweet, I am excited to start our own traditions as our own family but I'll miss seeing the extended family too. We will be in after the first of the year though so hopefully we'll see everyone then.

I can't wait to see my new niece baby Mia I hear she's growing leaps and bounds. I purchased the baby who should be 4 or 5 months at Christmas two 6 month outfits I took back today b/c I was told she needed a 9 month outfit!! I can't believe how big she's getting. I can't wait to see what she is like. My nephew Maxwell is only nine months older than Anna and he has his own little personality very strong and determined with a great sense of humor. I can't wait to see what my brother and sister in love's new little one is like.

I also can't wait to see our other nephew Lawson. He is such a little man now and he would love a sibling so I know he and Anna will have a blast together next time they see each other. Anna loves making people laugh, she getting that from her father who I think may have been voted class clown when we were in high school. lol I know he keeps me laughing and that's one of the reasons I married him.

Yes, traditions are changing and time is flying by faster than I'd like it to be. It seems just like yesterday my friend from kindergarten and I were playing the alligator game outside on my swing set. Now she is a married pharmacist who still lives in KY and I am a SAHM who lives in FL and my best friend now is almost turning 40!! Where did my life go??? I was amazed when we switched churches and were put in the SS class with 50 year olds.lol I see all these college kids down here and think wasn't I just doing that yesterday and then I hear my little girl call "mommmmmyyyyyyy" Mommmmmyyyy" which is her new thing to drive mommy crazy she says "mommy" only dragging out to 7 syllables instead of 2. Then I snap back to reality and realize that before long my little one will be making her first best friend in Kindergarten and playing her own games on her own swing set. In a blink of an eye it changes so I am going to try and enjoy each moment. Thank you for letting me vent.
