Time Fly's.
If there's something I have realized its that it turns out what everyone says is true, time does fly. Three years ago in September my nephew was born, it honestly seems like just last week. I can still remember Indiana in the fall, the way everything was tinted in a grey hue because of the constant cloud cover. I remember drinking pumpkin spiced everything with my sister, watching her bounce on a exercise ball trying to induce labor, and staying up till 2 their time because she still wasn't used to the time change. After 2 weeks she was induced and we spend 32 hours waiting for my munchkin to be born, and then suddenly he was here and we had this whole new person come into our lives. That little boy stole our hearts from the first moment we saw him, and he has had us wrapped around his chunky little finger ever since. I've been blessed to watch him grow and learn, and now he is almost three and has a second sibling on the way.
The funny thing about time passing is the things we remember, and the moments that get lost. I can remember so distinctly the day that Presley was born, driving at 3 in the morning to go pick Mason up and take him to my other sisters... but I couldn't tell you for the life of me what we were doing the day before. We are only given a limited amount of time and yet it all seems to pass so quickly.
Im almost 20, which means never again will I be a teen. I'm not ridiculously upset about that, but when I look back and think what have I done in the last 20 years, I see a lot and a little all at once. In the last 20 years I have grown into the God fearing/loving woman I am today. I have had my share of heartaches but also amazing moments that I pray I never have to forget. I have drank more coffee than I can remember and I'm completely okay with that. ;) I was baptized, I have seen both my sisters and a couple of best friends find there soul mates. I have been blessed with a beautiful niece and nephew with a 3rd on the way. I fell in love with a man that drives me crazy sometimes, but also means the world to me and makes my world a better place. I also see the many many many times I took life for granted. I see where I could have stepped up and where I needed to step down. I've made a million and one mistakes and I promise you I will make a million more, but that's how we learn. I just hope in the next 20 years I will have learned how to be what God set out for me the day I was born.
