Fall in the South

What a beautiful day today! I love 3 of the four seasons but I think I enjoy fall the most. Last night Kyle and I went to dinner then to see Courageous. I am so grateful for the church and leadership behind Sherwood pictures. Their movies are so uplifting and real. It was a great date night.

Today we both slept in with no alarm set. When I woke up I immediately opened all the windows and lit candles. We did get some housework done today, but mostly just relaxed and watched football. Both of our teams won today, so no one is grouchy.

I am truly trying to enjoy these BC days. BC stands for before children in our house. I am excited about our future adoption and pray for our kids wherever they are right now. One thing is certain, we lead very chilled lives right now. We don't know how our lives will change exactly once we adopt, but we know it will.

Taking time to enjoy my life right now has always been a struggle for me. My type A personality and perfectionist tendencies always leave me looking ahead to the next step. I am trying to relax more, enjoy more, and experience more of the present.
