Time Flies

Spring and summer have flown by and in a couple of weeks we are back to school. Well, in our case, starting school. It's hard to believe that in just a few weeks the kiddo will experience his first day of school. Three years have sped by! Now we join the tradition of school shopping (clothes, lunch box, lunch bag) and fall schedules (orientation, parent work days, parent-teacher conferences).

Weren't our parents doing all this for us not too long ago?! Like I said, time flies.

We are thankful for so many great preschool options and the wonderful opportunities we can give our child through education. We are blessed!

This has been especially true of the last few months. Here's what has happened:

• loan: done, finito, PAID!
• hubby earning his MBA
• a wonderful celebratory vacation in the sand and sun

 

• job continuity with a great boss and colleagues
• finding a good Montessori preschool
• visits from family
• a fun-filled vacation to visit family in the Northwest so the kiddo and his cousins could enjoy time together, and the anticipation of another cousin who will soon join in the ruckus
• more simplifying by donating and selling, which has created a huge sense of freedom

As we celebrate all these wonderful things, we are getting ready for all of what comes next:

• paying down student loans
• kiddo's adjustment to school - new schedule, new teachers, new friends, new expectations
• next phase of hubby's job which is a certification that requires a lot of study time and is to be completed in the next four weeks
• a visit from my folks during which we will be celebrating my mom's birthday and my parents' 40th wedding anniversary!

We look forward to it all with joy, faith, and thankfulness that all our daily needs are met and that we are deeply loved.
