What is Normal??

Life hasnt exactly turned out how I thought it would. One week after we were married, Andrew was laid off from his job. Since then, life has been crazy. The economy hasn't been too kind to those who desperately need jobs and Andrew has only found part time things here and there. Somedays hed be working at one place, then the next somewhere else. He started a nutrition business with his father on the side, but like with any new business, it takes a lot of work to get started and takes some time to begin to grow. I spent much of my time with Andrew while he worked at his new business and we often wouldn't get home until late in the evening. Dinner time was a foreign concept as we would never know what time we would be home. In February, Andrew found a part time job, and about a week ago, he was promoted to a wonderful full time position.

Today feels different. Andrews left for the day and I am home with the baby. It feels weird somehow. After not having a schedule and never knowing what each day will bring, I now find myself at home unsure of how to deal with a schedule. Oddly enough, this is exactly what I've been longing for, for the past 2 years. I always dreamed I'd kiss my husband goodbye in the morning and then spend the day doing things around the house and raising a family until he returned home again that evening. But this has not been the case. Im sure most people take it for granted having a schedule everyday. But to me, this is a wonderful gift from God. I know where Andrew will be everyday. I know when I will see him walk through the door in the evening. I know when to have dinner on the table. I can actually plan my days now!

Perhaps this is nothing new for most people, but for me, this is abnormal and I love it! =)

Its About Time.....

So its been about 6 years since my last blog and about 3 years since I've written on one. The last time was in high school and the beginning of college I believe. A lot as happened since then. In my second semester of college I met the man who eventually would become my husband.

After 3+ very long years of dating, he asked me to marry him.

Then, 2 1/2 very short months later I married him.

About a year and a half later I found out I was pregnant with our first child.

Yes, a lot has happened, and its about time I get back to blogging again.
