Time Flies.

The saying, "time flies" has proven itself in my life, lately. Justin and I made it through our first year of marriage! Woo! The cake...was nasty. I know most people say it's really good, just like your wedding day...nope, ours wasn't. It was AMAZING on our wedding day, but not so much after sitting in the freezer for a year. Also, Justin and I have been looking forward to going back to California this year (he proposed to me in Disneyland)...this trip has snuck up on me. We leave next Saturday! Holy cow! I'm so pumped, though! I love his family and we get to go to the beach and go to Disneyland and just get away and go to some DRY heat! Nobody has any idea how much I miss the dry heat.
Time has brought me to some great times and family...but time has gone by so quickly lately...I turn 22 this year! JEEZ! My best friend is FINALLY moving back to Rogers, so I can see her more often before school consumes her life again! Captain Jack is 5 months old and so cute! Before I know it, I'm gonna be ready to have kids...AH! (Don't worry, mom, I'm not ready yet).
Speaking of kids, I'm not fond of many kids...there are a select few that I absolutely LOVE, though! One of them being my friend's baby, Cooper! He is ten months old, and I don't think I could love another baby as much as I love him (until I have some of my own, someday). He is always so happy and smiling! I went with his mommy and daddy and him to the pool yesterday evening and he just floated in his tube with a big grin on his face! And then when we all went in for dinner, I was holding him and he just laid on my chest and went to sleep! He looked so peaceful and at ease and I felt so proud of myself, because if you know me, kids do NOT like me, but he gave up without a fight and when I put him in his bed, he didn't even wake up! Maybe someday I will be ready for some of my own. But until then, I have Cooper...and a few more.
So, even though I feel like someone has pushed the fast forward button on my life, I am having a blast and loving every minute of it and everyone in it! God has truly blessed my life!

Cooper is just a happy baby. I am so bummed that I haven't seen ANY OF YOU in soooo long :'(
I can only pray that mine and Jake's kid doesn't cry a whole lot because that is Jake's biggest pet peeve LOL.
But, I hope you two have a BLAST on your trip! :)

Haha. You guys will make it and you will have a happy baby, too! I don't have any kids but I've always been told that things are way different when it's your OWN, so he may be able to tolerate it more when it's your baby! Don't worry and I will be praying for you guys!
You will have to keep us all posted when you find our if its a boy or a girl!
