Fresh Air

Today I bundled Anderson up, despite the fact that I have a cold and an ear infection and we went for a walk. I find fresh air so refreshing! It was fun to watch Anderson look at everything - he wasn't very big when we went on walks this summer. I can't wait to have "open window" days this spring and summer!

As any readers would know I've really been working on enjoying this stage in my life rather than feeling "unsuccessful" in my choice to not work full time. Lately I've really been trying to pray more and spend some quiet time with the Lord. I'm finding that this quiet time really is the rock for me to stand upon. I've made a list of seven or eight things or people to pray for each day or...when I take my quiet time. Sometimes it's not everyday. I've really enjoyed doing this because certain things off that list will come to mind and I pray throughout the day. I find it to be a new aspect of praying for me. Try it!

I'm also really doing a lot of thinking about how I can become a better wife. Sometimes I miss the "excitement" of the honeymoon phase and yet I really don't want to work through all the stuff we've worked through in the last five years! I just love my husband so much and want to make sure he knows it!
