Raindrops

It's the first day of fall and appropriately it rained at our home all morning long. I woke up with only one goal in mind. I knew that tomorrow I would be stepping back into the work force and shortly after I completed phase one of unpacking I allowed myself start reading Breaking Dawn. So somewhat irrationally, all I want to do was finish the book. It was nice to spend the entire day reading. I just finished and it was weird to read, The End. Which brings we to my next thought. All day long I have felt like change is coming into our lives. It might just be the fact that I'm wrapped up in two sweaters and anticipating the seasonal changes. But I'm excited to finally be embracing this new situation and feel like there will be lots to look forward to here. Let me elaborate on my vague thoughts. I absolutely love our new ward. We fit right in and I can't wait to build a comradere with our new church family! I'm going back to work, not just work, but the classroom; how could I not be excited about that?! We have a new rhythm of life, which includes things like seeing each other, reading together, things feel restful in comparison to the pace of school. I've tried to keep my options open the last little while (not signing into a teaching contract was a big part of that), and I just feel like any opportunity could come my way. I feel like Aaron and I are fully open to the will of our Heavenly Father, we are ready to take the path he puts us on, and frankly I find that so exciting! Anyways, I thought I'd try to share that with you.
p.s. Now I have that song in my head, "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head..." It's in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I love that movie.
