...then we must be having a stinking blast.
I've been reminded this week about how quickly time is going by these days. First of all, what happened to November? Does anybody else feel this way? I feel like I blinked and all of the sudden it's Christmas. I remember when the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas was the longest month ever. I thought it would never get here. Now, I can't even keep up with the "Christmas Countdown" sign on my door.
Next, Laurel turned 10 months old today. Overnight, she turned into a little girl. I look back at pictures of her from her first few weeks, and it seems like she should still be there. But, no...she's a little wild woman. Wild hair... wild babbling, wild laughing, wild yelling at Toby the dog...just wild. She finally started crawling this week...a little late, yes. But, she's been too busy studying every little detail of everything around her. Why in the world did she need to move? This week, however, she decided she was ready to go, and she has only stopped to sleep.
The other big milestone in the Parker household this week is that Kevin and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on Thursday. I have to say that it feels like our wedding was longer than 4 years ago. I would guess it feels that way because we have had our share of change over the past 4 years....we are currently living in our 4th residence, I'm on my 3rd job, Kevin's on his 5th. I am glad to say the past 2 years have been much more stable, and that probably has a lot to do with the next milestone....I am quickly approaching my 29th birthday. I guess we can't live in restlessness our whole lives....eventually we have to grow up and settle down. And,in less than 2 weeks, I will be entering my last year in my 20's. Twenty-nine sounds older than I think I should be. I remember being in high school and thinking about being in my late 20's, mostly thinking I would have it all figured out by the time I was this old. Hmm...still working on that one.
I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that my blogging track record shows that this may be the last time you hear from me this month. Hopefully not. Hopefully I will be good and keep you posted on what's going on in our world, but as this month flies by and I try to cram in all the Christmas music I can into my ears, I may not find time to blog again. And, because I just ordered my Christmas cards (I know, most of you overachievers have already mailed yours), there's a good chance you won't even get a Christmas card in time. So, in light of all that, I hope and pray you have a wonderful Christmas season. Take time and enjoy it!
