What I am looking forward to...

Sometimes it is easy to get bogged down in day to day stresses and forget that my life really is great. While driving (on my yucky commute) to work today I thought about upcoming events and felt pure joy. I realized at that moment that a great thing I can do daily to relax is to think of the upcoming things I have to look forward to. It is also a great way for me to realize who and what is important to me.

I am excited for/about:
My birthday (Nov. 10). I love my birthday for so many reasons: getting mail (cards), phone calls from family & friends, going to dinner with my husband, taking off of work for the day.

Book Club next week. I may not finish the book but the friend hosting the event just got back to living independently after a terrible accident. Needless to say, our group is very excited!

Visiting my sister & her family. I am looking forward to spending so much time with my husband. I am totally in love with my 8 month old niece. She is the most precious angel. The best gift that God has ever given our family. I am so excited to see all the new things she has learned to do since July.

Work party is at an awesome museum this year.

Fun Christmas paties with friends

Christmas at my parent's home...sunshine & heat during winter is fabulous! Everyone will be there & this will be the first time my extended family will meet my husband. i am excited to show him were I grew up.

My brother's wedding. It will be at a beautiful resort on the beach back home (again the sunshine during winter is awesome). I am a bridesmaid & will be going for a week to help the bride & have a bacherlorette weekend too!

And the best for last...hopefully during the later half of 2009 my husband and I will start trying to conceive. I am extremely excited to have our first child. I am excited for the whole experience, the pregnancy, everything!

It makes me happy just reading these fun things!
