And he wants to wait 5 years.....

We babysat Miss E last week. She is so smiley and kicks and kicks and kicks. She's just pure sweetness! Andrew has fallen hard for Miss E. This was evident when I walked into the room and found this:




And he said he wants to wait 5 years....

Life is GOOD!!!!!!! I was just thinking how a year ago, I was a new nurse (I'm still "new", just not as new as some:), working nights, and trying to keep up with Andrew and I's hectic schedule. Those were some dark days (get it- working nights...dark...). Really, they were not fun. I was turning into an old lady working midnights, and Andrew was spent trying to gig all weekend then face 25 2nd graders on Monday. Last winter we made a huge, hard, out of my comfort zone, I don't know what to do, are you sure, GOD? decision: Andrew quit his teaching job, turned down the grade he always wanted to teach, and decided to go full time with the band. Eeeek! Let me tell you, it has been the best decision we've made in our married lives. And I'm on days! Because of our decision to follow God's plan and being blessed with a job on days, we see each other, we sleep in the same bed together, I don't cry as much, he's not as stressed, and most important- our relationship with each other and with God has strengthened. Why is it that when we know God is calling us to do something, our initial reaction is to say no or ask questions when we know deep down that God is the boss, He knows best, and He's always carried through with His plans? The decision wasn't easy and God still hasn't revealed His entire plan, but we rest assured knowing that God hasn't and won't lead us astray.
