Shower

Today was Katie and Greg's shower!  It went really well and I think they had a great time.  They got so many gifts! It was a really big shower with almost 100 people, so it took several filled vehicles to get all their stuff back to their house.  It was nice to see a lot of people that we don't get to see very often, but it was hard to really get to talk to everyone with so much going on. I was happy that some of our family friends finally got to meet Kenley. She was a hit at the shower dressed in an adorable dress from her Grandma Kruse.  I think she was pretty good, but I was so busy that I'm not really sure!  (Thanks to her grandma and Aunt Alison for taking care of her during the shower.)  I am so happy for my sister and Greg and I hope they enjoy every moment of these next two months.  It goes by fast and it doesn't feel like that long ago that I had my own bridal shower!  It's hard to believe my little sister is getting married. 
On that note, this week I was thinking about how for once in my life I am wishing time to slow down.  I have always been the type of person to look forward to the future and anticipate what would happen next.  I always thought, "I can't wait till I'm 21, can't wait to graduate college, can't wait to get a job, to move into my own place, to get engaged, to get married,to buy a house, to have a baby...." I feel so lucky that I have been able to accomplish all of these goals in my life, and  I guess now that I have done all of those things I am trying more to live in the moment.  Ever since my pregnancy, it has been one of my goals to enjoy what is happening now.  I'm trying not to stress over little things even though it's not always easy.  Of course, I always look forward to the future, but I am just starting to realize that time goes by too fast the older you get.  So, tonight, I am enjoying the rest of today.  I am going to snuggle up with my husband and watch the rest of the Bulls game.  Go Bulls!
