A Bit of Rambling

The past several days have been busy and, for some reason, emotional for me.

Busy because, well, we have had a lot going on. Jeremy scored an above ground pool from a job he was doing, so we have been spending our spare time over there taking the deck apart and starting to get it ready to move. My dishwasher has been out of order (till yesterday), which meant most of the day Saturday was spent playing catch up hand washing the dishes. Not that I really mind hand washing dishes. It's just that there were A LOT of them! When I wasn't in front of the sink Saturday, I was outside helping Jeremy mow the yard and feeding the azaleas. Then, of course, we went to work on the pool. Sunday, we had our dear friends the Matlocks over for the day. We had so much fun with them, as usual. I am going to miss them so much when Jon begins his residency who-knows-where and we won't be able to hang out with them. :*(

Emotional because.....I'm not sure yet. I have actually felt a little more peaceful, a little calmer the past few days. But I have been more prone to tears for no reason, as well. I haven't decided yet if they are good tears or what. I figure part of it is probably thinking about my babies growing up. Ty starting kindergarten and Troy starting preschool next year. Audrey is heading for trying to walk. Also, Ty's frog-lovey has been missing since Sunday afternoon, and I have looked everywhere. I know it will turn up somewhere. I am just afraid he has left it outside and the dog got a hold of it. :/ I think I am actually more upset than he is. He has slept with it every night since he was born...except for the occasional times it has come up missing like this. He has a "back-up" but the past 2 nights when he went to bed, he asked me to please look everywhere for it before I went to bed. :( I am hoping he has just stuck it in something somewhere (like he is prone to do) and I just haven't found the hiding spot yet.

But on top of all of this, I have had a certain peace. I have been doing a lot of thinking and a lot of praying, and started some studying. Jeremy and I have often talked about how sometimes we feel like we're not exactly where God wants us to end up. We aren't sure if that means a physical move, or a lifestyle change, or a spiritual change of some sort, but we just don't feel "settled." I am praying that the more we talk and pray and study, God will show us the path He has laid out for us.
