Thoughts on Thursdays

I think it's crazy that it's already October. I swear I am going to be an old lady before I know it!

I really like my job and am very thankful I have it, but everyday I sit at my desk and think about the job that I actually want to be doing, and that is being a mom. I find myself always preparing for when that time will actually be here. I have a binder I put together that is filled with crafts and activities and sewing projects. I add to it every time I find something new and fun. And I have another binder filled with fun and silly treats and meals for different holidays and occasions. Is that dorky? You can never start preparing too early, right?!

As much as I love this next part of the year, I don't know if I'm ready to say goodbye to the sun just yet. :(

I really love Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays. I love all the fun colors, the decorations, the pumpkins, the corn mazes, the goofy costumes. It's all just fun.

I had a really good time with my brother here. I don't like that my family lives so far away, but at the same time I have a real sense of peace because I know I'm where I'm suppose to be. And it's fun when they come visit and I can show them this place that I love so much!

My husband is really busy with work and school. I'm sad we don't get to spend more time together, but I know that what he's doing now is going to pay off big time for our future and that makes everything okay.

There are so many places I want to see and things I want to do. I feel like I need to cram them all into next year because once we have kids I feel like we're not going to be able to do certain things for a long time. I often find myself fighting between the idea of wanting to have kids sooner rather than later, and wanting to do all the things I want to and having my alone time with Erich before our lives change in such a drastic way. Is that selfish? Did anyone else have those same feelings??
