waiting…always waiting

I realized recently,

and embarrassingly later than ideal, I might add,

that even though we've been in school, and in a sort of limbo/not quite settled/waiting for life to begin

kind of stage for… nearly all our marriage,

we've certainly been living a beautifully full life!

For quite some time I felt like I was just waiting…

always waiting.

I felt an itch to settle down, put down roots, feel like I was a real part of the community.

I thought that reaching our end goal with school and work

and buying a house would all be indicators that I was ok to stop waiting,

and start living.

Funny thing is, I failed to realize that I have been living.

This whole time,

all these years,

with all these incredible kids,

and my dearest of all darlings, Matt ;)

I have been living an incredible

and blessed, and amazing life.

How about that?
