BURSTING!

I am bursting with anticipation and excitement tonight! Here are a few reasons (in no particular order)...

* I joined a women's bible study at church. We are doing the new Beth Moore study on "Esther." The study is really good. Exactly what I need right now. Not only that, but it is a great group of ladies that I am excited to get to know!

* My baby is turning 2 VERY soon! For me, the days leading up to that are somewhat sad as I realize how much of a baby he is not and miss the early days. But overall, I am excited!

* It looks like I will be traveling North with the kids this summer. Mike's folks are planning a trip and are willing to haul us along! We've lived near them now for 7 months, so I'm pretty sure they knew what they were agreeing to. No dates, but VERY exciting to know we'll get to visit soon!

*My kids being at such a fun age. I admit...the bickering and battling have increased in recent days, but so has their ability to play together...truly play together.

* I'm attending my first "Girls Night Out" event Saturday night. Looking forward to getting to know some people and have a few hours to myself.

* MIKE HAS A JOB!! I keep reminding myself because sometimes I still can't believe it and I am SO thankful!

*We are planning for our first visitors since the move. It's hard to live in a new place and try to explain it to people without truly having them experience it for themselves. Greg and Tracy and the boys will be here in 2 weeks!!! I can't begin to put into words the anticipation for their visit! I'm looking forward to game nights, movies, sleepless nights and LOTS OF LAUGHTER...what else can we expect when the Harp's are around? (Okay...so I saved that one for last because it is the best!!)

Anticipating lots of good memories in the next few weeks...HOORAY!!!
