Too Long

So it is 1:30 and I finally have time. Time free of homework, time free of babies ( that just happened about 15 minutes ago!) and time free of housework. I miss blogging, jotting down my daily life, having the time to reflect on all things. I need to make time for this, it helps me to put things in perspective.

A lot is happening in my life. Daniel and I finally found a church. I love it. It is Clayton Valley Presby, it is liberal ( which is what fits us) and very friendly. I finally feel at home. And do does Daniel, which means more to me than anything. It makes my heart so happy that he is initiating this too, making this his spirituality, his life focus. Finally God has helped us to find a peaceful place to raise our daughter.

School is in fully swing, I have been reading and writing like a mad woman. I keep questioning if this is right and just when things get almost too much to handle it all works out. I know I will be okay, but at the moment the prospect of at least 1.5 more years is daunting. I love having to stretch my brain again, I love working in a team and learning new things. I love being challenged, and finally I love that I am doing this for myself. I am a university person. WOW!

I feel as if I have left my friends in the dust. I have been trying to organize and fall into a schedule with my school stuff that I had to let some things go. That happened to be friends. Now I am in a place where I feel like I can work them back in. I am so blessed that I have so many groups of friends, but at the same time I can seriously be double booked everyday of the week if I allow. So I am going to have to be more aggressive about how I plan my days.

Delilah is doing well. We are going back in for a weight check tomorrow. Daniel and I measured her and she is 26 inches long. I am not sure if that is long for her age or not, but I know I love watching her grow. She is now saying syllables like Ma, Da, Pa. And that is so exciting. I am now actively using signs with her in the hope that she will pick them up early. I know it may be quite sometime before I see the product of my work, but I know in the long run it will be worth it. I feel like I have not had enough time with her, and I am only away two nights a week. I cannot imagine being a working Mom, I thank my Husband for supporting me in staying at home. I am very blessed and love.

Daniel and I are doing well. I feel like being away so much I neglect him, and even sometimes take him for granted, I hope I can express how much he means to me in a way that he will understand. I feel like our relationship as husband and wife is growing stronger each day, that every new day brings one more heart string attaching us together. I am one lucky lady.

As the holidays approach I am looking for a new out look. I want to change my world, even if it is small, and I want to start that this holiday season. I will do something, but what I am not sure yet.

That is all for now. I hope to make the time to write again soon.
