Sundays

Sundays have now turned into the hardest day of the week for me. No, not because I have to work hard or do something I don't want to. It's the exact opposite. Sunday is the day that makes it hardest to accept the fact that we are moving in a month. Yes, we are sad to leave our families and my co-workers. I have said from the beginning that the hardest part of leaving is leaving our church. In the 5 years that Stuart and I have known each other, that place has been the cornerstone of our lives together. FCC is the place where we had our first date. It's the place that we centered our relationship around. It's the place where Stuart stood in front of our wonderful church family and asked me to marry him. It's the place where we've met some of our nearest and dearest friends. It's the place that has seen us through every difficult moment in our 5 years together. Custody battles, adoption, cancer, pregnancy, and now they will see us through our move away from here. It breaks my heart every Sunday when I look around and see our awesome church family and know that we are soon leaving our comfort zone and entering a new phase of our lives. I'm sure as we move away and find a new church we will forge new friendships and special relationships. However, I assure you it will never be the same. Sundays are hard. I sure am going to miss that place.

Tonight my Aunty Pam arrives from New Zealand. She had this trip planned for more than a year now. It makes me realize that God's timing is perfect because she gets to be here for the birth of her new niece or nephew. I don't think that's a coincidence. We are all very excited to have her here.

In other news...there is no other news. We are waiting and savoring the rest and relaxation before baby arrives. If Cameron was right, we'd be having a baby girl on this very day. It seems that his prediction is probably not correct. My prediction is that this little person might wait until July 22nd to arrive. That was my Grandma's birthday and everyone knows she was my favorite person in the world. I don't think that would be a coincidence either.

That's all I've got. Next Dr. appointment is on Wednesday so I'll update you then.
