Time Flies!

This week has been a big week! First of all, I turned 25 on Tuesday. I can't believe I am already a quarter century old. Also this week has been 2 years since we found out that we were going to be parents! I think back to how fast time flies. I always think back to when I was in high school. It doesn't seem that long ago but I graduated almost 7 years ago! HOLY COW! If I could go back in high school and look into the future I wonder what I would have seen. I wonder if I would have seen that in September of 2003, a Freshman in college, I would meet the man of my dreams and know within the first month that I would marry him! I wonder if I would have seen that we would fall so in love and have so much fun getting to know everything about each other. That Daniel would be by best friend! I wonder if I would have seen that on June 23, 2005 Daniel would suprise me and come down to the beach to stay with me and my family on vacation. I wonder if I would have seen that then on Friday, June 24, 2005 that he would then surprise me even more and propose on the middle of the beach! It was amazing! Then we would get married on May 20, 2006. I wonder if I would look even further in the future and see that we would find out on April 8, 2008 that we were going to become parents! That was the most UNBELIEVABLE feeling in the world! Then have so much fun being pregnant and on December 12, 2008 I would have Bella after 19 hours of labor! (I'm glad I couldn't look into the future to see that because it would have scared me to death!) And then I wonder if I would have seen how amazing, scary, unpredictable, etc... it would be rasing a baby girl, but at the same time the most rewarding thing I could ever imagine. I would have then seen that now, Bella is almost 16 months old and becoming more independent every minute. I see Daniel and myself in things she does and her personality. I don't think I could have ever looked into the future and seen all of the wonderful experiences that the Lord has blessed me with! I am so glad that we can't look into the future because there are many times where we may have taken a different path if we knew what was going to happen. I know that every path I have taken has been planned for me, even if they were't easy. The Lord has directed my steps and gives me the faith to trust him and be certain that He has the best plans for me. After reminiscing this week, I just can't believe how fast time flies! I just have to be careful and not blink! :) I don't want to miss anything!
