If we were having coffee this morning...the first thing I would shout is that we are homeowners!!!!

It still feels a bit surreal, and it is probably due to the fact that we've already lived in our home for four years now.  But we bought a home!  The Mr. and I feel like "official" adults.  At the same time, I've been struggling with feeling like we are "less than" because it's a condo, not a house.  But God has been reminding me over and over again what is means to live within our means, to live in a way where we are not house poor, and to be happy with what you have not what you want.  

If we were having coffee this morning...I would tell that you that I'm incredibly grateful for my husband!  He has been working so hard with escrow, taking care of our paperwork, and keeping our stress levels down.  He amazes me all the time, I just love him so! 

If we were having coffee this morning...I would tell you that I am sick of being sick.  This cold of mine is just lingering around still, and I'm exhausted.  I'm pretty sure that I text the Mr. today that I felt like a walking zombie, and then I looked in the mirror at work and realized what my poor students saw today-a zombie.  

I've been giving myself grace, letting myself rest, but I'm ready for my energy to come back-for my body to feel back to normal-and to lace up my shoes and hit the pavement.  

If we were having coffee this morning...I would share that I am forever blessed by our church.  This past Monday they hosted a women's event, and let me tell you, they never disappoint.  Our speaker was just so inspirational and shared insight on 5 things she wished she knew when she was younger.  Let's just say that each of them definitely hit home with me.  

If we were having coffee this morning...I would gush over the first baby gift we got on the mail this week!  

My sweet grandma bought us the baby food maker I registered for along with the sounds/light machine.  Leave it to me to be ecstatic over a baby food maker. But it steams and purees the veggies all in one!!!  I'm also pretty grateful that the Mr. appreciated my enthusiasm.  I just about teared up when we were talking about how our CSA box is going to become so useful when our little man is eating solids.  

If we were having coffee this morning...I would tell you that I feel a bit behind in terms of preparing for labor.  Having a natural birth is something I value, but I know that I am going to definitely have to train for it.  Hypnobirthing?  Doulas?  My head is just spinning with choices, and I feel like I need to just make a decision and start getting to work on this! 

Have a lovely weekend beauties!!!
