The Things That Matter Most

I'm not really sure how to say this. I've rewritten this several time. Hubby and I have been praying and asking God for a child for 11 months now and his answer has finally been 'yes'!
We are expecting! I'm pregnant and I'm going to be a mother! 
I can honestly say that the first thing I did was fall to my knees, cry, cry more, thank God about 100 times and cry more... in the bathroom. Then I showed John a video I made a while back for him to announce that I was pregnant. He really liked it though I think he had a hunch because he was grinning ear to ear the whole time. :P 

There is a lot of stuff going on in our lives right now. We don't have a house, our lease is up in Dec., we owe a lot of people a lot of stuff, I'm just getting my photography business up and running, I'm working on my Etsy shop still, We have a wedding to go to soon, I think to myself that there is a lot to do and still be done but this is GODS timing and I could not be more blessed. All I have ever wanted was an old house with lots of children running around and bring life to every bit of it, to be a mother, make cookies in the kitchen, watch Disney movies on Friday nights, chase children around a big yard, and be called a good wife and mommy. So yeah, life is still going to have bumps in the road but if God has lead us this far and given us so much, I have faith he will care for us all the days of our lives and continue to bless this house. And in the end, these are the things that matter most!
