Aaron is now officially in the Air National Guard. He swore in last Monday. I wish I would have thought to take a picture, someday I'll learn. He has to shave his beard now. I am looking forward to seeing him in uniform even though that will be months away. He is excited.
I have a lot of thoughts blowing around in my head and I guess I will write them down. I love taking care of Daisy and being home. This is really all I have ever wanted. I have always wanted to be a wife and mother. And the funny thing though is that I didn't really know it till it all kind of happened. When I left home for school I had a lot of ideas about how I thought my life should go. It went something like this... play volleyball (that was always number one on the list, even though it shouldn't have been), go to school and finish school with an outstanding degree of some kind, marry and then have kids. But, the Lord had a different plan for me and I am so thankful because his plan is way better than mine. It was a similar plan to mine but his order is better. I knew that all the years I was growing up and going to Young Women's that the purpose of that program was to prepare me to be a wife and mother. At the time though that was not what I thought of it, but after being married and becoming a mother, I now realize how many of the experiences I had growing were truly there to prepare me for my future roles. Not saying I am perfect at these roles far, far from it and I am just starting out, but I have recognized the blessings that have come from how I grew up. I am so thankful that I get to stay home, I hope that this will always be something I can do. I enjoy my home. I think I get this from my mom. She has always enjoyed her home and was always improving or changing it in is some way. Now I do that and so do my sisters. I like to create in my home even if it doesn't always turn out like I imagine in my head. Hopefully with years of experience I will be able to create my dream home. But for now it is kind of a trial and error experimental situation, continuously going on in my house. Poor Aaron is always having to put up with a new project of mine. The latest project was my table. This was a experiment turned out great! I love my newly redone table.
This is a picture of her almost rolling over a few days before she really did it.
Grabbing her toes.
More toe grabbing.
This is my table now.
This is my table before. I didn't have a very good picture of it so this will have to do.
(Don't worry, we normally don't let Finch near the top of the table, but this had the potential to be a funny picture, if only the lap top would have been open...)
Nice thoughts, Lee. Thanks for the new post...especially pictures of Daisy. I like the comparison of old table ~new table. New is much better. You did a good job.
