Change is scary. There I was, a week or so ago saying I was an optimist and didn't worry about the future! Ha ha. Insert cliche about pride here.

Here's the thing about marriage: the two become one. But what happens when you want two different things? That seems to be a common theme in my relationship with Bryan. One or the other is constantly giving up something. And now it's my turn, and as much as I love Bryan, it's still hard. Don't get me wrong- I'm going to follow through and support his dream, but right now I'm balking at the sacrifice. And I can do this, I just need the Lord to give me courage when I'm weak.

Speaking of sacrifice, Bryan compromised and is letting us get a puppy!! This weekend!!!! On Sunday, we're driving to Joplin to pick up Valentino (Tino for short) Baucom. I think little Tino and I are going to be spending a lot of time together! Meaning we're going to be inseparable.

Have a nice Monday.

I can't wait to meet that Valentino!!

And, change is very hard. As I read your post it reminded me even more about changes in the year ahead. The "not knowing what will happen" is scary. But God is good! Inevitably, it will all work out.

LOVES.
