Time is Flying By

Time has sped up since graduating from undergraduate school! As I told one of my best friends, Christy, seems like it was just the other day all we were concerned about was who our Homecoming date was going to be! Her birthday was yesterday, so of course she was feeling the years going by! I told her 35 is not old...we are just established and our lives are more full with families of our own! But when did all that happen? Dewight and I will celebrate our 6 year Anniversary on Saturday! Hard to believe just six years ago we were committing our lives to each other and to Christ. And now 6 years later we are blessed with our home filled with love for each other and two beautiful children! Our children are amazing and so precious. I am so in love with them! But, the years are passing us by. It is funny how our perception of "old" changes as we ourselves grow older. The other night Tristan was getting out of the tub and said, "how did my hands get so old?" And last night he said, "I am old again" while looking at his hands! If getting old was just the wrinkles in our hands! I would not change this process for the world though. It is exciting and saddening at the same time. I love watching my children grow and at the same time wish I could freeze time just a little or at least pause it when I need to. Like today, I looked at Mia and realized how big she is getting already! Almost 4 months! I wanted to hit the pause button...yet at the same time, because she is almost 4 months she is now smiling, talking, cooing and laughing! I love it! Then there is Tristan! God love him! I am amazed at how much he retains from school and how independet he is becoming. He already has to walk by himself into school and he looks so little trotting off with his big ol' backpack! He is indepedent and confident. I even saw him hurry to catch up to some big kids and start a conversation! That takes some self-confidence! I love that he is able to do that and feel comfortable with himself to do so! WOW! What an amazing kid!

Well, I guess I have pondered how it seems life is flying by and me with it long enough for tonight! But I am enjoying the ride! God really did know what He was doing when He blessed me with so much, especially my wonderful hubby, amazing children, family and friends! I hope ya'll all tke a moment to look at how far we have come and how lucky we are to have made it this far already! Love to you all!!
