busy bee

in the next two months i think i'll have the busiest schedule i've had since the year began. :P all of the activities are social, which is great for me (the extrovert), but even i can get overwhelmed with everything! let's see if i can list the things i have in chronological order starting this week: dinner with students, baby shower, potluck at church, dinner with friends, party for students, planning sunday school, graduation party, going away party, friends coming in from out of town, baby shower, family coming in from out of town (two separate cousins), traveling to the east coast, and my mom coming into town. whew. :P please pray that i would keep my sanity and enjoy all these events!

long morning

nat and i met with a lawyer this morning to draft a will. i didn't think that we'd we meet so long, but it turned out to be at 2 hour meeting. it turns out that there are things that can make our will more complicated. :P

it is interesting to think about things that you need to consider if you were to die. i think i wouldn't have bothered too much if it were just nat and i; if i died, i know that nat could take care of himself. but now, we have sean so i want him to be taken care of and nat to have the means to take care of sean if something were to happen. it's a little bit surreal considering what should go to who and how (or who sean may go to if we were both to die). in the end, i know all the things of this world will fade away anyways, but i do think there is wisdom in providing for your family if something were to happen. i think i faced a mix of feelings of being wise with what God has given me and not trying to focus too much on all the things that we have. it turned out to be a good reminder that God is in control and that He is eternal, not things.

getaway

i know what i want for my 30th birthday--a getaway for just nat and i. and luckily for me, nat thought of the same idea. :) so, i'm hoping that we'll be able to take a long weekend off while we find someone to watch sean (we're thinking the grandparents right now, but we have to ask!). i'm not sure where i want to go, but i don't want to go anywhere in driving distance; i'd rather fly to our destination. i'll let you know where we end up going! :)
