Long week

A week filled with half days of school sure can feel longer than a week of full ones! This week really kicked my butt. But when the urge to sleep in this morning I resisted and we got so much done! I love that. We have a lot to do before the baby is born and cleaning out the closets was one of them. I found so many things that I didn't remember where I had put or that I had. I found mission books and pictures, I even found my old gross worn out dirty and possibly diseased shoes that I wore on my way home from Brazil. I found old journals and a program from a funeral of a friend who died way too young. I also found a letter that my Dad wrote me, basically telling me that he thinks I have the power to conquor the world! It was a nice read and it reminded me that I can do it, whatever doing it is... It's what ever I want to do.
You can do it too, wether it be finishing law school or getting used to living on a lower income so that you can stay at home with your babies. Losing that baby weight and writing that novel are within your reach. Trust me, whatever it is that you want to do you can do. If I can, you can. I don't know how you are going to do it, I'm still trying to figure out how, i'm just saying that you will find away and when we do accomplish whatever "it" is, we will rejoice. Together.

Thanks Kristin! I think I needed to hear that today! Life can just get so crazy (and overwhelming) sometimes. It's nice to reminded that things we want to do are not out of our reach. Can't wait to see you in a few days!!!
