Day 12 – I miss… (check out some old pics)

Day 12 – Yesterday’s topic (yes, still behind from this weekend) was “something I miss.”  I decided to go with times in my life that I miss.

I MISS BEING A KID! 

Everything was easy.  Don’t laugh, but one of my favorite memories was coming home from school on Fridays (my mom stayed home on these days)!  The reason I loved coming home was because the house was SUPER clean, dinner was cooking, potpourri was sprayed (I still use the same kind today) so the house smelled good, our rooms were clean, laundry was all folded back in our drawers, and it was just really CALM.  What kid likes that?  I grew up with 3 other siblings, so maybe calm was what I liked.  I can’t wait to provide the same memories to my kids.  This was the only “kid” picture on my computer.

I MISS HIGH SCHOOL!
Two things I miss about this picture:  1. High school – I went to a small Christian school.  Everyone knew each other.  It was fun and such a simpler time.  2. Being skinny and eating whatever I wanted.  I would kill for those arms in this picture.  I didn’t even lift weights or diet.  Being young is so beautiful.

I MISS COLLEGE!
What great memories.  Playing a sport for a college is a dream for most athletes.  I’m so glad I went to SMU.  Not only does the school have great athletics, the academics are even better.  Pony Up!  College + Sports = Amazing 4 years!

I MISS VACATIONS!
I really miss vacationing!  Ryan and I went on a ton of vacations before we had Beckham.  These are some of the best memories we created!  I don’t think vacationing will ever be the same.  Even when you’re gone without kids, you still have to plan for them while you’re away, miss them when you’re gone, and jump right back into it when you return.  And if you go with them, well, I’m not really sure that counts as a vacation (at least at this stage).

Best advice I can give a young married couple…Enjoy only each other for a while.  You will NEVER get that time back. 

I MISS SLEEP!

Even though Beckham sleeps through the night, I can’t go to sleep when he does because I feel like I’m wasting precious time I could be cleaning, blogging, relaxing, running errands, working on business, etc.  This was the best nap I ever had.  We were in Punta Cana, DR.  No worries or stresses, just having to plan our next meal.

I MISS THIS STAGE OF BABY!

Well, not entirely.  But I do miss the ease of this stage.  He slept all the time and was quiet when we went out to dinner.  Specifically between 3 – 6 months when he was sleeping through the night, but still sleeping throughout most of the day and when we were out.  I mean, when you can position a baby like this, all while they’re asleep, that’s pretty hard sleep!

With all that said, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE where my life is at right now.  Living those memories now would mean I wouldn’t be living through my current dreams now.  I have dreamed of this job since I was a little kid.  And it is more than what I had imagined.  I used to dread Sundays, which was the day before a work week.  Now, I get excited because it’s the start of our scheduled week (baby on a schedule is a happier baby).  I cannot thank this man enough for being a MAN and taking care of his family!
