The Space Between
Sorry for the extended time between post. Been VERY busy! Doctor's appointment went very well- progress was going as it should. We had a few parties to go to and Andrew's training has been taking up most of his time.
I was at a friends surprise baby shower that we threw for her and we had an absolute blast! I was asked if it was hard for me to go to other's baby showers with what I am going through and I can honestly say it isn't. I love to other's and their happiness. I am the kind of person who gets absolutely into giving other people joy! I know that one day, I will be pregnant and when I am I will get to be on the other side that and it will be the most amazing blessing. Until then, I will continue to take complete joy in making my friends absolutely happy!
Father's day was so much fun! We had cook outs and dinners with our family and we had a blast. Family time is always the best- the people that you love most around you and getting to laugh with them. Just something special about it that you can't get anywhere else except with family. Reminds you that no matter how far apart you may live, family is the one thing you can always count on because the space doesn't matter.
We spent the 4th of July weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains. We love the campground at Smokemont. It is so incredibly peaceful and the best thing is- no service! A chance to get away from it all. We cooked over a campfire, Andrew went fly fishing, we went to some National Parks sites near by, I read part of a book and came back home rejuvenated but wanting to go back. Andrew had to keep me from speaking out a couple of times. It was mostly when the tourist around us were making statements about mountain people and the "old ways". I was brought up by parents who lived by some of the "old ways" and knew that they had it completely wrong. Andrew reminded me that it was fine for others to live in complete bliss (or ignorance).
It was also nice to not care about the news, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. To live in the moment and give complete attention to the people around you and nature. By no means am I a hippie! If you are worried about the environment, go plant a tree and stop screaming about it. But I do appreciate it and wonder at the beauty of it. God made a spectacular masterpiece when he formed these mountains we live in! There's no where else in this world I would rather be than the mountains of NC.
The time spent waiting for our precious miracle to happen is going to be be worth it. The time spent with each other with out all the outside influences getting in the way is worth it. Take joy in the empty spaces. The Lord has a reason for the the time spent waiting or the people that come and go from our lives. We don't ask why, we simply need to seek the wisdom and knowledge that He wishes us to gain from it.
