First off, next week, Emily is on Spring break from school, and will be coming home for a few days with the pups. I am so looking forward to spending time with Emily, Charlie, Sammy, Dolly, Baby Girl, Peanut, Fred, Henry, Chester and Blind Girl.
Then on, Friday, Rachel and Aaron are coming to visit. I am looking forward to getting to meet them in person. They are friends of Emily's from church. When I first got started in Face Book they became my friends to help me out in Farmville. Then we all started playing Cafe World. The rest is history. They are coming up from North Carolina to go to the National Harbor to visit the flagship "Peep" store ( as in marshmallow peep), in the country.
The next exciting thing to look forward to is having Bella and Gonzo stay with us while John and Amber are in Las Vegas for the wielding competition. It will be nice having a couple kittys running around. Like the old days. Plus we will get a chance to know them better. That takes us up to the middle of March.
With April comes Jeff's return form Afghanistan. I don't know the exact date yet, but it won't be afar off. I will be so thankful to have him home. I pray that Jeff and Emily won't have to be separated for long periods of time anymore. I wish there were enough troops, so that no one person would have to do more than two rotations, unless they wanted to. I know what it is like to have my husband away. Mind you our longest separation was 7 months, but I endured that for 28 years. We made it through those times, and I am a stronger woman for it. But I know God didn't intend for families to be separated like that.
Drum roll please............Then comes May...One of my favorite holidays comes in May...It's Mother's Day. I am so blessed to be the Mother of two wonderful people. They couldn't have turned out any better. I am proud to claim them as my children. They have given so much joy over the past 28 1/2 years. (well maybe not the three months of morning sickness). I know the best years are yet to come. And Amber and Jeff, well I love them as my own. I couldn't have picked out better spouses for my kids.
This year for Mother's day, Emily, Amber and I are going to a Bed and Breakfast in Williamsburg, VA. I am so looking forward to it (hope I don't bust before we get to go). We started this tradition three years ago, and I hope it continues.
That is a glimpse of what I am looking forward to in the coming months.
Always looking forward with anticipation.
One never knows what God will bring into your life.
Until I blog again.......
