time

^^Thistles that line the road on my way to work^^

 

The passing of time is an interesting thing.  There are times in my life where weeks can go by right before my eyes and I'm not even fazed.  And then there are other times that I step back and think "holy cow! It's already been a month since we did that?!? Where did the time go?".  Times like that kind of freak me out.  Getting older (and I am by no means old, I'm 23, almost 24, for goodness sakes) is an interesting thing.  I guess its the fear of the unknown that is so unsettling at times. 

But then I have to remember that I have made it this far in my life and survived, so surely I can keep on going and take the trials as they come.  Luckily we just have to take it one step at a time.  And I am soooo very grateful for that.  If I was dealt every hardship I have ever encountered or ever would encounter, I'd give up, no questions asked.

I love thinking about what the future will hold for me and my little family.  It amazes me that eventually Preston and I will look back at our days where we didn't have any kids and wonder what it was ever like.  We'll forget what it felt like and that makes me sad in a way.  Our life is so good right now and I don't ever want to forget the fun times we have had.  But I do take comfort in knowing that it can only get better.  It's all a matter of perspective, being able to find joy in the present and having a little ALOT of faith. :)
