Can we say Emotional?

So I am not really your emotional gal, I mean every once in a while you will catch me in a soft moment and tonight certainly was one!

I put Kate to bed tonight on the eve of her 7th birthday. She wanted to hear the story of her birth-which is so fun. Then we just cuddled and talked about what a huge milestone tomorrow is...not only will our sweetie be 7, but she will also be starting her first day of full day school.

We talked about what it would be like, her new teacher, what if our dear friend Billy is not in our class, etc.

Indulge me for a minute in this ramble, but let us just talk about this Billy. He called our house today and asked for Kaitlyn, but before that because I volunteered all last year in the classroom he talked with me for 5 minutes about his summer all the while calling me Mrs. Rockwood. Don't get me wrong it is way to early for a boy to be calling our house (we talked about that too), but at least he was an adorable polite Christian boy!

Anywho, as the talk and cuddles continued it hit me like a load of bricks...this amazing, sweet, funny, loving creature who has been by my side for the last seven years will no longer be there for the majority of the day! I started to cry- Kate laughed and said what are you going to do when I go to highschool? (I didn't want to tell her this but maybe I would look into working at the school? Too crazy?)

I am still cuddling her now as she is fast approaching dream land - wishing somehow the clock would rewind so we could watch her grow up all over again. No question we are so blessed to have had 7 truly stupendous years filled with countless memories. Of course there will be so many more to look forward to, just seems like right now my heart and mind want to put a little pause button on life in order to soak in today as much as we possibly can!!!!


Happy Birthday Eve TootsaBella!


With love,
