from the house with a professional crawler who is perfecting furniture walking. We're doing well here. Today I miss the little one and am feeling like 38 work days is forever long away, but am trying my best to convince myself that it will fly like the rest has.
I('m sure absolutely no one reads this blog anymore, but I will be working harder to keep this thing more updated as I come closer and closer to coming home.
I put in my 2 month notice two Fridays ago. It was nice to get that off my back and out in the open. So now I'm left to the task of not losing my mind while I'm still here. It helps to keep the coutdown going. The only danger of countdowns is that you run the risk of not being able to live in the moment, but only in the future, but no fear, I'm totally alreayd there.

This childcare thing has hit a mild bump that could turn into a detour. There's a good chance that my "stable" kiddo may not be needing the services any longer. We'll find out for sure come November 16th. But I am fully and completely trusting that God will provide for all our needs. Maybe not all our wants, but certainly all our needs.
It blows my mind that Rachael is 9.5 months old. Wowzers, that went fast. And "Mama" has never sounded so good before. Gotta love the character that keeps emerging. Yesterday Rachael was laughing hysterically as Matt tickled her on the changing table. Her laugh is adorable. Brings such joy to us.
I'm feeling a bit goobly today. Stomach's off and the chicken noodle's not cutting it. Wish I could have stayed home today. Miss Rachael a lot today. But today's a Monday so it's to be expected. Matt's at seminary all day (starting at 5:15am and all of our schedules are off because we all have to get up earlier than usual in order to get out the door "on time." Today I didn't make it. I was about 25 minutes late to work. One of those days... oh well.
Tonight's date night, so I'm looking forward to that as usual. Matt and I have decided to fill shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child tonight. Should be a good time. Looking forward to seeing that wonderful man of mine tonight.
Thanks to the 1.5 of you that read this thing... even if it's 2 months later. Thanks for the support.
God bless you and have a great day!

I am still reading your blog! :) Need pictures of Rachael!!!
Monica,
Yes, I confess that it is sometimes days/weeks after the fact that I remember to click on the little thing that takes me to your blog. Lots of reasons, mostly that time just seems to go by sometimes, in more or less productive ways.
Anyway, I do read your blog and I heartily thank you for ANY posts you add! It certainly helps the miles seem a lot less between us.
And how wonderful that you can drop work for the more important issues in your life. Clearly your heart is at home with Matt and Rachael! There is no doubt at all in my mind that you'll stay just as busy - if not more so - once you stop "working," and certainly you'll enjoy your days more.
As for me, around March-ish we'll be "only" a 10-hour drive from you rather than 24 (or whatever it is from Miami)! So I too have a countdown (toward the move).
Love, hugs, and hoorays for all the oh-my-how-she's-grown comments and smiles :-)
