Happy New Year!!

And so we start 2009!! How exciting! Randy and I just had our one year (as you know) but it really didn't hit me until last night when everyone else in the world celebrated another year starting as well. Last night was much more meaningful to me than I ever thought it could be. Other than being New Years Eve there was nothing all that special about the night, but after watching that ball drop it all hit ME as well..I am about to spend another year with my husband! How crazy!! I have a husband! I mean, I know that everyone grows up and things are always changing and I guess it has taken a year for me to really think about this but... "I have a husband!!"
This last year with a TON of new babies around me and people getting married left and right; I have really been able to open my eyes and see more of what is actually going on around me - I now realize that life is amazing!! Maybe I have just gone nuts since being married and the stress of being an "adult" is fogging my brain or something but I really have been able to view things in a different light. I am so happy to start a new year with this new view..and a husband! (weird!)
Like I said it all has just hit me. I'm sure most of you have felt the same "aw ha!" sort of moment but this one is really sticking with me. I know that life is constantly changing and even evolving but sometimes we just need to sit and think about everything that is going on...it may surprise you as well!!

I used to get that, "Wow I have a husband" feeling all the time. I definitely still get it sometimes. Now its the, "Oh wow, I am going to be a mom!" I love being able to see things in a new light, it is so refreshing,and it kind of feels like a new life in a way. I love it. Happy New Year!

How funny that it hit you that night! I still have moments like that all the time. But, I will never forget the first time I thought that about Wes. We were boarding the plane and Wes was putting our luggage in the overhead compartment, and then it hit me...hard. That's my husand? Forever?...wait...Eternity? It's such an out of body-reality-is-hitting-hard-feeling, but it's not bad.
