i was just thinking the other day, i remember being younger and couldn't wait to get married and have a husband. and now i do. and now i can't wait to have children. and am waiting. so then i thought, once i get them, what will i be expecting next? i should just be grateful for my many many blessings i do have now. :); February 4, 2010 at 2:30 AM
