I wrote a post yesterday, but my power went out before I could post it.
Probably a good thing too because the last couple of days have been hard on me.
I felt like I needed to write everything down to get it off my mind so that’s exactly what happened. I wrote it down, then it was erased, gone forever.
Which is good because I am in better spirits today.
We have definitely been on the good news/bad news rollercoaster.
One day we will get great news, followed by bad news, followed by good news, and then not so good news.
We take 2 steps forward followed by 1 step back.
But that is still progress and I am grateful for that.
Some good news to share with everyone is that we have found a renter!
Yipee!
She is the ideal renter for us.
Our prayers are definitely being answered and I am humbled each day when I think of how blessed we are during this time.
It also helps that I have an amazing husband that is always concerned about how I am doing even though he has a lot more on his shoulders than I will ever have on mine.
I know everything is going to work out in the end, but knowing that doesn’t always make it easy while you are in the midst of everything.
Plus, I am impatient and want to know exactly how it is all going to work out.
But if life were easy, it wouldn’t be hard, right?
I have started gathering inspirational quotes to help me during times like this.
Maybe they will give you some inspiration too, so I will share some:
Your future is as bright as your faith. –Pres. Monson
I can do hard things. –Anon
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. –Joseph Campbell
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. –Anon
Love more, worry less. –Anon
One of my favorite quotes I am saving for a post all on it’s own. It means a lot to me and I need to be better at following it.
In other news, Luke is doing fantastic.
He is the biggest tease I know and loves to run from me whenever I try to change his clothes, his diaper or put on his shoes.
He is starting to say a ton of words these days. My favorite right now is when Jared gets him to say Gracias.
He is obsessed with Elmo. This happened just from letting him watch Elmo sing songs on Youtube while I brush his teeth. All day long I hear, Melmo? Melmo?
He has been going through a really bad “attached to mommy at the hip” (literally) phase. Hopefully this will pass by the time baby girl comes along. I am not holding my breath.
I have 2 months of this pregnancy left. I go in for another ultrasound on Monday and hopefully I am on the good news rollercoaster this day.
Cross your fingers!
Glad your are feeling upbeat and trying to see the best in all. It can be hard and I totally understand how it can be with all of these changes next to a baby's arrival. Tate started out with his own firm and we sold our condo all around the birth of Tyler which had its concerns of its own. I was just a little stressed during all of that craziness. :) But things are going great now and we feel so blessed....so I know that with lots of prayers and faithfulness, all will work out great for you and your little family! Hang in there! You're in our prayers.
