Yesterday, I put away all the Christmas decorations around the house. This is usually such a melancholy time for me. I play my Christmas music one last time and reminisce about the past year. This time, however, I played a mix of music and really thought about what was coming up in '09. I wonder if the difference is that now I'm seven months pregnant and really looking forward to having a baby to hold in my arms, rather than lugging around the extra weight around my middle! :)
2008 has been a great year for us. First of all (of course) we're pregnant! However, I also got to go on a Hawaiian cruise, visit family in the Middle East, and enjoy living close to my own parents once again. My second year of teaching at Camas High School has been great! I feel like I've finally grown into who I am as a teacher and am having a blast. I've always known I loved teaching, but there were always hardships and troubles before. This year, I actually feel like a real adult in a real career. (Pinocchio has finally become a real boy!) It's hard to describe, but God has definitely performed a great work in my life.
2009 promises to be great, but might hold it's own challenges as well. Our son is due on February 25. I'll take two months off and then return for the last six weeks of school. Mohit's project will be completed sometime in February (deadline is end of January), which will free him up some. However, we're praying there aren't anymore layoffs in March!
Just some thoughts as I'm sitting at home, slightly bored, and procrastinating doing any real work!
