I am loving this season of my life. I am a driven, busy, efficient personality - racing through checklists and goals and always with "what's next" in sight. My first year at BYU I was driving back to Provo with strangers and was SO annoyed at the 10-hour trip ahead of me with its wasted time. Yet, somehow during that drive I gained the powerful realization that this moment, this time right now, will never happen again. Never. It was a great awakening that has been repeated in various times of my life, but never as powerfully as it did that day my eyes were opened to the fact I should just enjoy the scenery around me and make the most of where I was in that moment.
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
I love sitting at the counter with Adrie during meals, giggling at her efforts to eat and having mock battles with our forks. I love waking up to her commentary on everything in sight, and the big squeeze she gives me while I kneel down by her crib. I love to see that twinkle in her eye when she teases "Don't get me!" and starts to run. I love how she loves to do absolutely anything I want to do - from running errands, to cleaning house, to visiting friends, to you name it. I love my beautiful home, and the fact it is all mine - and all clean :). I love my job, the amazing people and clients I get to work with, and the fact that I never dread going to work. Never. I love teaching Relief Society and I look forward to all month. I love the ward & neighborhood friends I have that feel more like a family.
I know this season of my life won't last forever - I don't necessarily want it to - so I am doing my best to enjoy every single moment and live it to its fullest so I have rich, robust memories to look back on.

Ok, so dorky, I know, but I was so worried when I went to your 'old' blog and you had moved and I was SO upset I wouldn't get my fix of Chasing Cars for the day! I know - I am sure there are plenty of other ways to hear it, but I am not all that tech savvy!
Love your post! LOVE that song! I often find myself singing a few lines in my head when the kids are driving me crazy or have made some random, crazy catastrophe of some sort!
You should totally come up for a visit! That would be so fun, we even have a finished bedroom downstairs and well, Todd's working on the bathroom. If you ever need a quick vacation somewher we'd love to have you. Not that Rexburg is all that exciting but hey family, food, and games what else is there?
I wish I could be as positive as you are. I have a hard time remembering to love each day. I just want to be a grown up SO bad!
OH MY I LOVE LOVE this song too! IT is so very true!

Love that song and LIVE by it as well!
I'm so jealous...is that bad?! I wish I was as happy with my whole life as you seem to be...Don't get me wrong I love most of it but certain things I definitely wish I was strong enough to escape from.
Oh and thanks for the comment that made me smile and feel really good...which I need right now:) Thanks
THIS is why country music rules.
