Countdown

'Always time to dream, so keep on dreamin'!' - Pretty Woman

There are big events in life to keep things interesting and give you something to work towards.  If every day was your birthday, that would get boring.  If Christmas lasted all year it would not be nearly as wonderful as it is for those few days of family gathering for the big event.

I feel like I am always on a countdown for something.  During the school year, I am on a countdown until summer or the next break.  When I have a get together with good friends planned, I count down the days and look forward to it with lots of excitement.  A few years ago, I was on a major countdown to my wedding.  Every day the Big Day got closer and closer and I could feel it.  The anticipation was just about more than I could stand. 

The countdown for my next big life event is seriously on.  Even though I feel like I have been pregnant for a really long time, she's getting close!  I looked today and there are 63 days until my due date!  That is crazy!  In the meantime, I have showers to look forward to in the next few weeks, Baby Jack will be here before we know it, and then it will be time to meet our baby!
