feeling a little overwhelmed today.

Im closing in on my second trimester.

The weeks between today and when we meet our little one are getting smaller and smaller. we have so much to be excited for and so much to anticipate, but i have a hard time enjoying it to the fullest.

my husband is still out of a job. going on 3 months now.

(and i must say-i have the sweetest husband and he definetely isnt out of a job due to lack of effort.and while he is spending more time at home he is really showing up and helping his 7 month-crazy hormonal-lazy wife. and he still loves me)

it is stressful to say the least. one thing i have learned is, of course, to completely trust God in these times. i wish it was as easy to do as it is to say. for some reason trusting Him with our financial situation is always hard for me. But there is nothing else we can do. just pray.and pray some more. and have faith that, like all other seasons of our lives, He will see us through. we have been through much more difficult times than this, and one thing remains the same: He is faithful. so my hope is in that.

:::God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits,

to the woman who diligently seeks.

It's a good thing to quietly hope,

quietly hope for help from God.

It's a good thing when you're young

to stick it out through the hard times.

Lamentations 3:26:::

on a lighter note...

i get to have one of my favorite meals tonight..

enchiladas!

and no im not going to a mexican restaurant..the best enchiladas ive ever had belong to my best friends mother. and tonight, megan is making them for grant and i. and dinner time cannot come soon enough tonight.

so i am excited to end my day of anxiety and stress with some delicious homemade food.and great company.

and then tomorrow comes a hectic day. its a special kind of hectic day. you know the days when you are going out of town and you have countless things to do..here is my list:

1. clean the house: because who likes to come home to a dirty house??

2. car wash.change oil.new tire. i hate car maintenance. h.a.t.e.i.t.

3.pack clothes for myself and my dear husband. yes i pack for him.i love him tremendously but packing is just not something he can do.he always forgets the most important things. so we end up going out of town and then having to buy stuff.like sweatshirts. or underwear..so i save myself the out of town trip to target and just do it for him.

4.drop off our doggies.

now, to a non-pregnant woman this seems like the easiest list ever. but im dreading it. just typing it out makes me tired! whew. thank goodness i get some yummy Thanksgiving food in return for all my effort..plus family time.plus, maybe, a little (very little) black friday shopping.

happy thanksgiving friends!
