I heard something on the radio yesterday morning that made me think a bit. I was listening to New Life 91.9 on my way to work (in a HUGE traffic backup), and the female morning host (Erica, I believe) was talking about her friend. This friend had made a list of anticipated events of 2011, as if she were writing about them having happened at the end of 2011. This woman was looking forward to the year in faith. This made me think about what was going to happen to me in 2011. My heart swelled with happiness and thankfullness for all the things God has blessed me with, and the blessings to come this year. I wanted to share with you what made my heart sing all throughout the day. I posted a "2010: A Year in Summary" at the end of 2010, so here is my 2011 list, in advance.
Starting my new job
Okay, so this has already happened....but it is still something I am very thankful for. It is only part-time right this second, but it is at a wonderful company, and I'm working with some really great people. I am still in training, but I am anticipating loving what I will be doing.
Gestational Diabetes
This may not be something I'm thankful for, but this is a major happening in my life. I am thankful that I have been controlling my blood sugars well in the last week. I am working on adjusting, and hopefully it will continue to get easier in the next few weeks.
Finishing the house
I cannot WAIT to get all the remodeling done in our house! We (well, mostly the hubby) has been working SO hard on getting the house ready for the baby. It's going to look amazing, and it is definitely getting there. It will be a relief to have it done.
The arrival of Baby Andrew
This will by far be the most amazing thing of my entire life, not just this year!!! At some point, most likely in March-ish (lol), my life will change even more than it has already. I am so so so so so so excited about this. I have been waiting on my baby boy to be here for so long now, it seems like forever. It makes my heart melt to think about meeting my sweet thing in person. The depths of my feelings can't even be put into words. It is the most amazing blessing in the whole world.
Graduation!
It's about time!! Lol...It seems like I have been going to school forEVER and I'm so glad I'm going to be done this year. It won't be until around the first week of July, but I'm sure that it will be here before I know it.
Starting job full-time
I hope to get a full-time offer from my new job once I graduate. I love working there part-time for now, but I will really enjoy working there full-time. I would love to begin my career there, and I hope to be there for a good long time.
Learning to be a mother and growing in that role
What an amazing journey I am starting on! I am quite sure I will need a lot of help on this journey, but I am so lucky to have a great husband, a super supportive family, and great friends. I want to be the kind of mother that my son can look up to and can say that I have blessed his life.
Look at that list of (mostly) wonderful things that are happening this year!! It makes me want to cry happy tears! :'-) I hope that my advance review has blessed your day as much as mine was blessed. What are you looking forward to in faith for 2011?
