Life sure feels beautiful right now.
I mean, we are living the dream...
We have now moved back to the states and both have great jobs. We live in a cute little condo, in just about the best location for us right now. What can beat having The Woods Coffee shop around the corner and my work across the street. And don't forget Fred Meyer that way, and Costco this way, and Target--right over there. Basically, it's the best. We have the freedom to go out to eat once a week, wherever we would like. Then curl up on the couch together each evening to watch our latest favs. We are plugged into an amazing church and get to experience a journey that we weren't sure would come for a while.
I mean seriously, life is so good.
Yet the question still lingers....
When are they going to have a baby?
The question lingers for every married couple that has been married a few years and are without wee ones.
But why?
Don't get me wrong, I adore little kids. Actually, I have my moments daily where I think I'm ready to have one of my own. People that know me, know that I can't wait to hold a baby, or chat with a 2 year old. They are just precious and full of joy. And I want some of that.
But not quite yet.
Because, in the meantime...
-I want to get to know my husband better. I want to be able to come home each evening and sit at the dinner table and hear about his day without any interruptions.
-I want to sleep in till however long Saturday mornings and wake up to my sweet husband, knowing we don't have to get up just quite yet.
-I want to be able to go out for dessert randomly, or run over to our friends how to watch some random tv show.
-I want to continue these weekly date nights just because we can.
-I want to hold on to these "smaller" loads of laundry just a bit longer.
-And soak up the tidy or some what tidy home.
-I enjoy being able to stay out later some nights, or settle down real early others.
-I want to buy a home first, and make it our own.
But you know, even as I write this, I look forward to the day where everything changes and we are hopefully blessed with a beautiful little miracle. Everything in my wants to be a Mommy. Everything.
Yet, the time has not come just yet. And we are going to soak this up a little bit longer, this time known as "Just the Two of Us".
So in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy my sweet husband. And even talk about our future Jason Jr's here and there....
And for those of you that are not ready to start that adorable family just yet, it's ok. It's ok to enjoy your time together. It's ok to look forward to the future of having kids and knowing that you aren't quite ready. It's ok.
God has a plan remember?
I would much rather stick to his plan rather than mine...
And for now, I think his plan is to be content in the meantime...to soak up each and every moment.
Yep, I like this whole meantime thing.

Tell them: "Don't worry. I'll let you know when I'm pregnant. Until then, just shut up."
Seriously, that's how we felt some days.
