Wonderful Wednesday

My wake-up call ended up being my hubby this morning. How excited was I?! =D. Though there's multiple countries, and a pretty big ocean separating us right now...our marriage and our relationship has improved tremendously. We're doing a devotional, and reading 'Purpose Driven Life' by Rick Warren together, and sharing our thoughts and feelings on the material. I love stuff like that. We've done 'The Love Dare' and it changed us. =). Will also got 'The Resolution for Men' from the movie 'Courageous' in preparation for hopefully becoming a dad soon, and I literally just Google'd the fact there's a book for women too, so as soon as I get to FL, that'll be my next purchase.

Speaking of FL, I'm so excited. Depending on circumstances, I may stay longer than originally planned. My Gamma is getting up in age, I'm childless and all my dog needs is food, water, toys, treats, and constant attention, and she can get that in any zip code...so I'm gonna hopefully take advantage of spending extra quality time with my family. Yes, I'm excited to see my friends too, but the focus of this visit is my family, which my friends understand. I didn't use to appreciate my Momma or Gamma as much as I could. In my very early teenage years, I secretly resented the fact they were so old-school (and I'm so ashamed to be admitting this...but it was a HUGE flaw in my judgment) Everything those two precious ladies did was to better me. No TV or anything until my homework was completed correctly (I scored a 24 on the ACT and got multiple scholarships for my grades)...no letting me out of the house at any old time with someone they didn't know (no underage drinking (that wasn't monitored by them)...no teenage pregnancy...no jail record)....not getting every single thing I wanted (lead me to appreciate things I did receive, which was still a lot, I'll admit). My rebellious stage wasn't as broadcasted as others' were, but I still went through one. I said many a things I didn't mean in trivial angst. I thank God for showing me how wrong I was, and am so thankful I got a second chance to have the relationship I do now.

I started to pack some stuff up today, basically just toiletries and accessories. This time in 2 weeks I'll be in the 352. <3.

I spent the morning at Amber's, with her and her adorable boy Conner. Watched Winnie the Pooh, and Diego. Learned more Spanish from a show than I did in my required high school language class, which is saying something, because I was too busy making fun of the show to pay much attention ;).

Anyways, sweet dreams bloggers, 7 a.m. will come early for me =).
