Quiet.

With the days that are coming up to my surgery, I find myself drawing within. Not because of anything that is happening but just due to the fact that I am soaking up what is going to happen in 7 days. I feel so blessed to be able to have this door opened but realize that like yesterday, Satan is trying to think he can say otherwise. But... He does not have a foothold what so ever. It is a surreal moment actually to know that something I have been praying for for almost all of my life is finally going to happen. And because of that I am in awe. It isn't like most things in our lives where we want something so badly and we save up for it, only to get it and then not really was impressed with it. This is a life changing moment for me. I am ready for it. I am thankful for it. I have such great support through this entire time that is amazes me. I think more than anything God is keeping me grounded about the entire thing. Which is exactly where I need to be.

We did find out yesterday that we'll be in Seattle longer than we planned on. They did not tell us that there were steps we had to take after the surgery. But God will make that path clear too, I know it. Thankfully Dayv got his leave approved for longer as well, and friends are stepping in where needed also. God is so good!

So.. Fast forward from this morning. Dayv and I went to work out and then he was going to go fishing. At the same time, I asked him if I could go, and he asked me if I wanted to go. So we just got back from fishing. I love to fish. I didn't fish today though I just sat and took some photos of us. It was not freezing out there but for some reason it was chilly to me. I wrapped myself up in my older jacket {the one that doesn't fit anymore but is a great jacket} and a wool blanket that we got in Stonehenge while living in England {it is the only wool blanket I like}. Yep that is me, all bundled up. But I had a very good time and Dayv loved having me there too. Normally I don't go with him when he's doing his manly thing unless it's a family day, but it was nice to go. It was so quiet out there and very relaxing too. I just sat back and listened to all of the wildlife making noise and the serenity of it all as well. I was so relaxed at one point I just closed my eyes and rested. It was such a beautiful day out today. Now were home, he's at work and I am just chillin'. What a great way to spend the day!!!


I just felt so close to God today out there!!! You know I'll be scrapping the photos of Dayv fishing really soon!

Well dinner is finished, our belly's are satisfied and it's family time!
