1 year and 1 month

I have 1 year and 1 month until I get to go back to Michigan. My second to youngest sister will be graduating high school, and I told myself (and James) that I have to be at all my sisters graduations. I know it sounds silly, but that is the one thing I want to do for them. It also gives me an idea when I get to visit family. Not what I'm going to do when my youngest sister graduate. I still have about 4 years until she graduates and then I'll have to think of reasons for visiting my family. lol Once the time comes closer to next June, I'm gonna be so excited. I have tried thinking of ways to be able to go home and visit, but I don't have the money to really do that. At the same time I think it's a good thing, that way I'll cherish being home visiting everyone. I know James gets at least one week of vacation so we have to split our time between Michigan and Illinois, but that's okay. I don't mind visiting in-laws. It will be nice seeing everyone. I know that we have a year but I'm already excited. I tell my youngest nephew Jack I'll be home when he turns five. Okay so like a few weeks after his birthday I'll be there, but at least he'll be five and then know that I'll be coming home. I always break his heart when I tell him we still have a year until I come home. Last week he even asked me when I'll be coming home. Here's a little bit of the conversation.

Jack: Aunt Bec, when you coming home?
Me: How old are you going to be on your birthday?
Jack: 4, but I'm 3 now.
Me: Okay, so when you turn 5 I'll come home.
Jack: Really??
Me: Yup.
Jack: Where are you going to sleep?
Me: Maybe I'll sleep in aunt Hannah's bed.
Jack: Yeah that will good.
Me: Or maybe I can sleep in your bed.
Jack: Yeah, I have this and this and this on my bed and in my room. (I didn't catch anything that he said because he too excited)
Me: Do you want me to see if Uncle James wants to come?
Jack: YES!!!!
Me: haha
Jack: Bye Aunt Becky.

That kid just cracks me up. Any time I talk  to him. He want's to talk to James, but of course James is always at work when I talk to Jack so then he gets disappointed again. I think James and I are going to have to Skype soon with the 3 kids soon. I miss seeing their faces.

I'm looking forward to going home to visit family,

At the end

It's 8:05 pm the night before my due date. I can't believe I'm the end of my pregnancy. I know that Payton can be late, but knowing the end is near is kinda nice. I've enjoyed being pregnant, but these last 3 weeks have been really hard for me. I not the biggest fan of surprises. I have to know what or when something is going to happen. James has a hard time surprising me because I'm always trying figure out what he is doing. *He did surprise me today with some chocolate and a Valentines day card*  Anyways knowing that Payton could come any time excites me, but also terrifies me. I mean when in the world is he going to show. I wish I could just be give a date saying that he will be born that day. Not a due date since most babies are not born on their actual due date. Poor James, I've kept him up numerous time in the past few weeks freaking out, stressing, etc. over this whole not knowing and knowing that I can't do anything about it really. God knows and I h...

Trusting.

Well, I've been going down the road of life trying to trust God in every situation. I'm praying and hoping that my husband can get a job soon, seeing since we are out of money and have bills still coming, mostly my student loans. I'm struggling with all of this just because James doesn't have a job yet. I'm sure I wouldn't be as stressed out if we had some money flow coming in.   During all of this I think back to when my dad had his open heart surgery 9 months ago. My mom was also trusting and believing that God would provide during that time. My parent's had bills coming in and had no money to pay them. My dad had his surgery on the monday before thanksgiving in 2010. My mom would come home during the week stay and there would be money in the mail for her and it was always enough to get her through.  I wish I could be like my mom and have the faith that she did. I've been very emotional during all of this. I haven't gotten a good night rest since...

might be good-bye for now, but not forever.

Almost every night I have a hard time falling asleep. Half of the time it's because I just am not tired enough to fall asleep, the other half is because my brain won't shut off. I always have different things that I want to write about in a blog, but then by the morning I forget about it. During the day I think oh I should write a blog.  I told James that I want to write one blog per week for the whole year. He just laughed at me and said, you'll run out of things to write about. Right now I feel like he is write, but on the other hand I feel like I can write a lot. Everything I want to write about is getting pregnant and the separation period with James being in a different village. So I guess I won't be writing a blog for awhile, since my last I don't know how many blogs have been about getting pregnant and my separation time. I don't want to bore all the people that might actually read this. So unless I can think of something else, you might not hear from me ...
