crazy-hectic-fun-exhausting days

Today I am realizing how quickly life is flying bye. 

As I wind down my college career, it feels like yesterday that I graduated from high school, loaded all my belongings into my car and headed to Nebraska with my boyfriend. However, as I sit here and look at my calendar, it has been 5 years.

As Jason and I search for a house to BUY, I can't help but remember back to my first time hunting for an apartment to move into with Brittany. Ready for all the excitement that Fort Collins and CSU held instore for us. While that also feels like it was only moments ago, it turns out it was actually 4 years ago. 

Here I am looking forward to this new adventure of owning a home, starting a business, growing as a mother and wife and I have to remember back to my last huge adventure and step into faith I took. 3 years ago, Jason and I packed our belongings into 2 suitecases and jumped on a plane to Australia to have our lives transformed. 

On the 14th of May we celebrate our wedding anniversary.. How has it already been 2 years since we flew to Hawaii, tied the knot, and began this incredible journey of being Husband and Wife? But then when I think of everything that we have been through since we got married it feels like I have been with this amazing man forever! Well, I guess it has been 7 1/2 years..<3

Now, sitting on my couch watching my precious sleeping baby I can't help but get a little teary-eyed thinking that I have been holding him in my arms for 6 months already! It feels like its been about 1 month. But I know that's not possible because of how much my baby  has changed since he was born. 

This little hunk of 6 month old cuteness is:

• 18 lbs
• 27.5 inches
• Sitting on his own
• Has 2 teeth
• Loves eating solids - butternut squash, bananas and teething wafers
• Can get his tummy off the ground, just hasn't quite figured out leg + arm movement = crawling
• Doesn't sleep through the night anymore (wait I said he is a baby, not a newborn right?)
• Flirts with every lady he comes across (Mommy's friends, ladies in the store, ladies at the Dr., ladies at church) Quite the charmer!
• Loves his daddy so so much.. (teary-eyed again)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   

Clearly, there are a lot of developments in all of our lives right now. Sometimes in the craziness it is hard to find time to spend with God, it is hard think clearly, and it is hard to find balance. This morning as I was feeling completely overwhelmed with what has to happen in the next 2 weeks so I can graduate, a song came on my pandora station. 

After all you are constant
After all you are only good
After all you are sovereign
Not for a moment will You forsake me
Not for a moment will You forsake me.

I am encouraged this morning by God's faithufulness, God's grace and God's goodness. He is constant in our joy, journeys, trials, and crazy-hectic-fun-exhausting lives.
