It's CRAZY how quickly time is passing! Jonah is a year old! Of course I already know this. I threw him a birthday party and got his pictures taken and all that jazz. But I'm not sure it really hit me until yesterday when I checked the back of his mouth to find tooth #9 hidden several spaces behind his front cluster of teeth that he's had since 8 months. MOLARS!?! I did not expect them so soon...but then again when are one year molars suppose to come...around one year!? It's just so crazy that we're already at that point.
And it happened the day after a conversation with Dwight which made me realize how much faster time seems to be moving compared to several years ago. Our two years in Albuquerque were probably the longest of my life! I think it's because we knew that we didn't want to stay there and just didn't feel settled. We sold our house BARELY after the two year mark an important milestone in homeownership when we wouldn't have to play sales tax on any profit made - as if there was any profit to pay sales tax on!). Well, Feb 1st was the wont-have-to-pay-sales-tax-if-selling-the-house point for our home here in Mims. That's just crazy to us cause it feels like we've been here only a fraction of the time that we were in New Mexico! I guess contentment does that to you : )
So here we are...13 1/2 months after my little tooth-filled cutie pie was born and two years since we settled into our lives as Floridians and I have made only a couple of blog posts! Eeek I'm bad. But the desire is there! My reasons for wanting to blog are two fold: first to give myself an opportunity to remember specific events and moments in a way that friends and family can enjoy (aka not through my embarrassingly horrible handwriting found in my journal) and also so that I can take more time to realize my blessings, because there are many.
Ok, so what do we do now - we blog! Time is going by way to fast for me to keep saying "eventually I will". So...wish me luck!
