today...

...am in anticipation for tomorrow.  It feels like this all over again.  Tonight D & I are driving to my parents so we can sleep over and be at the hospital first thing in the morning.  Plus, I am strangely excited to sleep in my old bed with my husband...you know, the bed I used to sleep in and lay awake in and dream of him in.

...am so thankful for school.  Right now I sit in class for 10 hours a day and the thought of next semester (14 straight hours) makes me want to cry a little bit.  But...am still so grateful for the opportunity to learn about God and how to be an effective minister and how to love people to a greater extent and to be supported by my peers.  So amazing.

...am so full of joy for Eri & Craig and their sweet baby girl.  She is just stunning.  Can hardly wait to meet her.

...am so excited for Denver on Sunday.  I think I'm going to have to re-think that whole no-dog-on-our-bed rule.  

...am praising God for my husband.  The man who calls me baby doll and helps me fold the laundry and makes me dinner on school nights and takes days off of work for my birthday and lets me get the medium coffee instead of bold and doesn't give me a hard time about not wanting to share dessert.

My heart is full and it's just going to get fuller this weekend.  So shalom to you.  Be filled with peace and joy as your weekend approaches.
