A little excitement.

I feel like I'm waiting for something exciting to write about....and as I wait for something even somewhat interesting to blog about I realize exciting, happy, fun things are happening all around me. They may not seem like a highlight at the time but when I think about the days passed I realize these moments are worth journaling.

For instance, my due date is getting closer and closer. And now that even strangers can tell I'm not the skinny chubby girl work is becoming more enjoyable. Of course the work load isn't getting any easier but inquisitive customers usually make my day. I really enjoy the ones who give advice and wish me luck. A father of 2 little girls that sat and had drinks at a table on the porch returned to the restaurant to give me an extra tip on top of the already gracious one he left with the bill. He said him and his wife have been in a similar situation and said I deserve it. I am so very appreciative. I think I smiled the rest of the day and I know I'll always remember his face and generosity.

Another example of exciting things: Baby E is such a mover. And honestly, it is uncomfortably annoying. I swear when I just want to rest at the end of a long day she is all about dancing and kicking about. It makes me laugh thinking about it. The way I write about her makes it seem like she's already joined us on the outside. I know all this movement and interrupted sleep is just good preparation for what's to come. Her movements make me anticipate her arrival even more. I can't wait to meet her.

I can't decide of all these things what is most exciting for me. Another one that tops the charts for the passed couple weeks is my husband's amazing ability to let chores pile up and then go on a cleaning frenzy to turn our apartment into almost brand new again. It's amazing really. I came home last night and he had scrubbed the bathroom sinks and toilet, vaccumed and did 4 loads of laundry. Plus, a bubble bath was filing the tub when I walked in the door. All these good things make the not so good things seem so bad.

Even more exciting: we're going camping! This weekend. In Pentwater. At this really cute and fun campground called Hill and Hollow. I'm super excited (if you can't tell)! I've already began the planning and list making for what we need and what we want to do on our little vacation. I know fishing, mini golfing, go carts, swimming and making s'mores are a few of the items on our list. But I'm sure their will be many more. I have some fun meals planned that I can't wait to taste. I'm looking forward to 3 whole days of losing track of time with Ryan and Maddi. I can't wait to relax around the campfire and catch up with my parents.

So, there's actually a lot of exciting little events taking place around me. Part of finding them worth writing about is how I look at each event. Life is all what you want it to be. It is truly what you make it. If I want a bit of excitement in my life I'm going to make it.

Keep loving.
