Waiting on a Slow Down

Happy Wednesday!

What a crazy busy month this is starting out to be.

I often complain about how busy I am day in and day out. However, I do believe I need to take a moment and be thankful for the busy life I live!

I am going to start off with my week and go day by day.

Monday: I had to be in Austin for Court at 8:30. Then enroll a new family. Then my mom and sister in law arrive at my house.

Tuesday: Travel to San Antonio to watch my brother in  the State Marching Contest.

Wednesday: Home, conference calls all day, and get ready for game on Thursday and work on Thursday.

Thursday: Be in Austin in the morning for National Adoption Day! Last jr. high pep rally of the year and last jr. high game of the year.

Friday: Enroll new family. Go visit a family. Last district football game. We must win to go to the playoffs.

I am already tired! Now I am going to identify the great parts of this busy life!

Monday: I get to go meet another awesome family who was called to adopt and opened their home and their hearts to some great children. I get to see my mom and sister in law. I love having family over!

Tuesday: Even though getting up early and driving for ever....... it was all worth it to see my brother marching at STATE! That is huge. Rising Star has NEVER been to the State Marching Contest but this year they did. How amazing is it to see your sibling be successful!

Wednesday: I have the opportunity to work from home, which allows me to do so much. I love getting to talk to people about my job and find ways to reach more people. I am beyond thankful to have my job and work for great people.

Thursday: Umm.... National Adoption Day! Sign me up! I can't wait to see all of these families and these great children whose world has now changed. I feel so blessed to get to be a part of this time!
Last jr.  high football game of the year is crazy! Where has this fall gone?? I am so proud of my husband and his kids this year. I love seeing my husband doing what he loves twice a week every week!

Friday: Again another awesome family who has adopted that I get to meet and help. Then the most important game of the year! We have to win to get into the playoffs.  I am nervous and excited. I am ready!

So my week is crazy and I do believe sometimes I get lost on the craziness of it but I do NEED to look deeper and be thankful I am able to live this life.

One day my life won't be this busy and I know I am going to miss it. Even though a slow down would be great, I would not change a thing about my life right now.

Have a blessed day!!
