things I'm missing already
/One month from tonight we will be spending our first night
...feeling a bit pouty-faced today.
Not quite ready to go into a big emotional talk about
how much we will miss when we move,
but am thinking today about some of the things I will miss the most about our life in Dallas.
Obviously PEOPLE top the list.
Our family, Our friends, Our spiritual family.
but (just a couple) other things Im already missing today...
I will miss beautiful afternoons at the Arboretum with my girl,
and picnics there with friends, watching babies basking on blankets.
(or now run around everywhere!)
Ill miss driving through Burger House for my frozen lemonade.
(they know me there...I will miss Maria,
who has made bad days better just by handing me
my favorite drink through the window.)
We will miss the grandparents.
They have been rocks in our life and Abigail already knows them so well.
Though we will definitely miss our built-in babysitters,
even more, we will miss the LOVE they bring us each time we see them.
We look forward to "extra-quality" time with them when we are in town.
I will miss our mall, but not for the shopping.
It has been a place for me to walk with Abigail when the weather isn't great,
a place to go wave to the duckies,
and also where we have spent countless Fridays,
going to Mommy and Me Yoga and Baby Bounce with our friends.
And on that note, I can't express how much I will miss my Mommy and Me group friends, who have been a support system for me in this huge transition to motherhood.
Who will I sit and compare feeding, sleeping, and pooping stories with?!
(you know who you are and I LOVE YOU GUYS!)
But for now, I will remember what God has given us here,
AND what He has waiting for us there.
I am counting my blessings in both places
and trusting He has our best in mind.
and finding this in a box helped a little bit too,
trying to help mama pack...and smile.
