Even though I know it is so wrong...

To wish your life away, I am often guilty of it. It has been one of my lifelong faults. Living for tomorrow instead of stopping to enjoy today. I am aware of it and try hard though to fight it. Part of it is my OCD nature; the other part is that I am just one of those people who genuinely gets really excited about fun events.

And, the one thing I am dreaming about right now is our family vacation coming up in June! This is what I will be gazing at come then:
We are heading to the beach with some family and friends to stay in a big condo all together and take in some rays and do other fun stuff like take the boys out on this pirate ship I've been wanting them to go on.

Isn't it gorgeous? All of the rooms are decorated differently, so ours might not look just like this, but still. I find myself looking at the pictures way too often and fighting the urge to go ahead and start packing. :) (Being OCD, I do ALWAYS pack very early but not quite this early.)

So, for now I am focused on enjoying these next 7 weeks at home with my wonderful family and friends. We do have lots of fun events coming up that you will be able to read about on my blog. Riding Thomas the Train again in Chattanooga, lots of baseball games and then the banquet, field trips to the strawberry farm, Mother's Day events, the end of the year school party, swimming lessons, our anniversary, Father's Day, the opening of our favorite water parks, baby gym, and I am sure more that we don't even know about yet! But, that sand and sun is calling my name for sure! I have no idea why so much except that maybe I thoroughly enjoyed the Bahamas and know I would have everything I wanted if I could have had the kids there, too. So, I guess in a way this trip will be the best of both.

So, pray that I can quit thinking about what is to come :) no matter how wonderful it will be and relish in what God has planned for me between now and then. Because I am sure the most memorable moments in the next 7 weeks will be lots of small things I didn't list above and that I don't even know about yet or things that I cannot plan for. Only things that He has in store for me...great blessings that I receive every day that are no match for any beach. :)
