Good morning all! Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday ahead of them. I'm going to try out this new thing that I found on the blog Living like the Kings. It's called the Friday Five. Go on over and check out everyone's!
5 Things I Never Thought I'd Be Doing at Age 23:
1. Growing a baby. I have to admit that being pregnant was in my plans but you just never really know what God has planned for you. In fact, I used to tell my mom that I was never going to have a baby. It sounded stressful, hard, and truthfully just disgusting. I know there are going to be a lot of hard things about it but what we get out of it I know will be amazing!
2. Working with kids. I never really had the desire to wipe a million little noses or change diapers but once I started doing it, it wasn't about cleaning noses or changing diapers. It is about the kids. Boy how I love those kids. Everyday is different and exciting. They see things through fresh eyes and say the funniest things. I'm glad God always had other plans for me than the ones I think up :)
3. Living in Texas. Truthfully I don't know where I thought I'd be living at this point in my life. However, I would have never guessed this town or state. I know God brought us here for a reason and I'm thankful for that.
4. Missing my family. Come on 9 hours is a long way and it can be hard for us to make it back. Which I think just makes our time back more special. On the flip side it also makes it hard for them to come here. Plus, no one likes the drive. I wonder if they'll like the drive better once baby comes?!
5. Feeling guilty when I don't have enough time to play with Milo. I know I know it sounds silly but when life gets busy and he gets put aside, I really do feel bad. To us he isn't just a dog. He really is a part of the family and when we have free weekends. I can bet you'll find us outside with him. He still gets in trouble a lot and it always amazes me at how he'll come back wagging his tail still loving you when you've just scolded him. That's the kinda love we should all have!

I'm so with you on the dog thing. It's crazy how we can manage to make ourselves feel guilty for these kinda things ;) Thanks for linking up
I can't even remember 23! lol Great list. I don't have kids, but I sometimes feel guilty that I'm busy and can't give my cat Tails a little extra loving. Tails is a member of our family too and not just a pet.
You should record now what you don't think you'll be doing at 33 - and then see if you're right!
