Enjoy where you’re at because you may never be there again….

I am so happy with where I am at right now. I mean yes it would be easier if I was done with school already and so on. But really as hard as school is at times and as hard as life can be on some days I am extremely happy with where I am at. I was thinking today that I really wish I had taken time to enjoy where I was at in life before now. I have learned to enjoy where I am at now (not daily necessarily I still have bad days but as a whole) and I wish I had learned it earlier on. Circumstance may not always be perfect but we must enjoy where we are at in life because we may never be there again. I have a friend ( I will not mention any names, she will know who she is J ) and she has said on multiple occasions that she is jealous of where I am at. I understand what she is saying as my life is exactly what I want it to be and a lot of people don’t get or have that, but I also want to shake her (love you). I wish I could go back and enjoy and be blissfully happy where she is at all over again. I didn’t appreciate my dorm life or the girls who were apart of it enough. I miss them all so much and I wish that I had taken time to enjoy every minute of it and not just the really great ones. Even highschool ( as much as I never would ever want to go back to that stage of my life) I wish I had taken time to enjoy more…not sweat the small stuff and have fun. My whole engagement to my wonderful husband….that is such a stressful time and I wish I had just had more fun and enjoyed the last months we had together as just daters and not old married people J Dating. Now that I wish I could go back to (just dating Evan of course), I wish I could go back and savor every minute so I could remember it better now.

All that said I am glad I am realizing this now because maybe just maybe I will have learned enough by now to enjoy every minute of this next phase of my life—nursing school, motherhood, and the continued wifehood. I hope that I savor every minute of these things (mostly motherhood) so that I can remember every detail and remember how much I enjoyed it instead of wishing I had taken the time to enjoy it more.

So a lesson to all - specifically you who are jealous of where I am at in life----Enjoy where you are at because you may never be there again.

On another note….

I am addicted to pickles at this particular time. I can’t get enough. Actually typing and thinking about them is currently making me think I need one.

I felt this little miracle move (for sure) last Saturday, I can’t wait until I can feel it more consistently!

I have less than 4 weeks left until this semester is over!

I usually love cooking but currently hate it, mostly because nothing appeals to me besides pickles so therefore I can’t think of what to cook……my poor Husband.

Our ultrasound is scheduled for May 11^th I think that is really far away and I might sneak into the free clinic and find out what gender this little one is before then, if Evan can get away from work.

I am pretty sure Roxi barked earlier and the baby jumped and now is quite active.

I think that’s all for now. Love you all!

A picture from the past for fun!
