Okay besides Jesus coming back/Heaven, there are a few things that make my top 5 list of THINGS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST IN LIFE! hmm, the pictures do not give anything away. don't be fooled! haha.
Here it goes from the things I'm least-most excited about to the most-most excited ;):
1. I can't wait to see who all 3 of my siblings end up marrying! My two sisters and one lil bro are a few of my very favorite people, and I can't wait to see the wonderful people that marry them!
2. I can't wait until I accomplish all the things on my 100 things before I die list. (it's an earlier blog entry if you want to see)
3. I am SO looking forward to growing old on one pillow with my husband. He will be a handsome old man. :) (We talked in my marriage class today about how our culture views sex as a thing only for youth, but older married couples are often the ones who get to enjoy it the most because of their deep intimate love on so many levels for one another...I think our culture way underappreciates the elderly and the wisdom they have about life.)
4. WHOA, 25 days until I am offically a college graduate. Need I say more?
5. Finally, and the thing I have wanted since I was 7 years old, is BABIES. And this, my friends, is the reason this blog is being written. I called my dad today to tell him of the AMAZING thing that just happened (which is that Kevin's mom's friend wants to buy 500 coupon books, so we have 5,000 dollars toward our MISSION TRIP!!! It's paid for, and probably part of our Africa mission trip too...Praise JESUS!) and I said, "Dad, I have amazing news! Guess what it is?!" And he said, "I don't know, you had 12 people at your yoga class?" and i laughed and said, "way better...." at which point I told him my story. But, when I got off the phone, I thought about how AWESOME it would have felt to tell him that the good news was that he was going to be a grandpa. We want to wait a couple more years, and even though I'm in full support of that, the anticipation is totally eating me away! This is definitely as bad as I couldn't wait to get married, but I know waiting is the smart thing. Financially, emotionally, and domestically we will be much 'readier' in 2 years. I just lovve BABIES and cannot wait to see what our little ones will look like. We want twins ...and then more! I want to stay at home to raise them, and write books on the side. I also can't wait to become a published author...so these two combined make up my biggest GOALS in life! God, if you want to give us a surprise at any point...bring it on! ;)
What are your top 5?

I just want to point out that 3 of the 4 pictures are girls...what's up with that?? I want my boys in there, and the only boy is an infant.
LOL. so, we can have 3 girls first then a boy. you'll get your boys. Chill out.
Having Javen has been by far the most exciting and joyful thing to happen in our lives! BUT...it has also been the biggest challenge! We had been married for almost 3 years when we had Javen, and having a baby in the house definitely took it's toll on our marriage! Having a baby requires an INCREDIBLE amount of unselfishness! Every trip to the grocery store takes twice as long, EVERYthing has to be scheduled around babys nap time and trying to find a sitter, you ALWAYS have your hands full. It's very difficult to just lay around and watch TV in the evenings when there is a little one who needs constant tending to! The sacrifice never ends! LOL...but having said all of that, being a mom has been the most rewarding experience of my life. It's truly taught me to love deeply and unconditionally. You and Kevin will be amazing parents! Remember that God has the perfect timing, I know you guys are praying for His will to be done in your lives.
WOW, that's the longest blog "comment" EVER! Love ya- :0)
