taking stock 007

Making: plans. 

Cooking: moose! my first attempt will be tonight - wish me luck! 

Drinking: agua. Though if you had asked me yesterday I would have said a pumpkin spice latte and I would have said it with a smile on my face. 

Reading: Psalms and underlining everything. 

Wanting: nothing. ok, maybe not nothing, there are always unnecessary wants floating around my mind, but truly, when I read "wanting", nothing came to mind. I am extremely content today, right now, with this life. 

Looking: forward to tonight and Thursday and next Monday and October 18th and Thanksgiving and April. 

Playing: chase and hide-and-go-seek - Uriah's current favorites. 

Wasting: time on the internet. 

Wishing: for courage. 

Enjoying: some "me" time at Starbucks. Though I could write this blog post and read my bible at home, I'm here, solo, soaking up the minutes without a toddler running around my ankles.  

Waiting: for Stephen to text me and ask me when I'm coming home ;)

Liking: texting my dad. He's a good one, guys.

Wondering: about things. 

Loving: that Uriah is getting comfortable with the church nursery. He still cries when we drop him off, but is always smiling and playing when we pick him up. I was actually happy to find him uninterested in mom returning to the nursery yesterday...!

Hoping: for a moment of clarity, of sorts.  Hoping for answers. 

Marveling: at my nieces. Is that silly? They're just so beautiful and wonderful and perfect and I just love them so much...! 

Needing: to be more intentional with my time and in my relationships. 

Smelling: I wish I was smelling Starbucks, but my nose is stuffed. 

Wearing: the t-shirt I wear every time I don't know what to wear. 

Following: friends. 

Noticing: Uriah's growing, intellectually, and fast. 

Knowing: that's it's going to be ok.  

Thinking: about yesterday's sermon. It was a convicting one and I know I need to take action on it, but I need to figure out how. 

Feeling: tired, but a cozy, ok kind of tired. 

Bookmarking: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, because, sorry Stephen, I fall asleep every night. 

Opening: silly cards from my mom that make me smile and laugh. She always sends the best cards. 

Giggling: over the conversation at the table next to me. I'm pretty sure I'm eavesdropping on a sorta first date between friends. You guys, it's awkward. 

Feeling: ready. 

^^ And some completely unrelated pictures of my most handsome date to my friend's wedding, which, was stunningly beautiful - both the venue and the bride ^^
