Its offical!

Decision making is always something that I have lacked. I dream big, make long lists, and desire much, but actually following through and doing IT is something that I'm simply not the best at... That why when I annouced that I was moving to Spokane, WA on August of 06' everyone was like, "yeah, ok, sure Bethany" and surprise surprise I did it. Its hard to believe that I have been home for 16 months! 16 months! Even looking at that number baffles me. I had such a hard time last summer... Wrestling with the "should've, could've, didn'ts" Debating on the "to stay or not to stay" and it took me an entire year to answer those questions. The journey God took me on in WA. was unimaginable and God did some amazing things, but I am so happy to be back home. But I miss it, and yesterday *drum roll please* I booked a ticket to fly back and visit! November 6th-13!

Its going to be so FANTASTICALLY AMAZING!!

Wahooo to seeing my amazing Friend for Life Tiffanie, curling up for coffee at a fabulous shop with Jaimie, driving over to Couer d'Alene and meeting Baby Laurel and seeing my girls (awww... and Sophie), getting to go to North Star on Sunday, drive past Gonzaga and smile real big, going to my preschool and seeing all the kids, and so much more!!

O and don't worry... I paid an extra $36 so that if Baby Douglas hasn't come yet I will be able to stay and not lose out on all my money.

How precious...

My amazing friend Stephanie gave me my o so precious birthday present this weekend (yes, my birthday was 2 1/2 months ago, but o well). She framed this quote in a scrapebook format and this picture does NOT to it justice!!Enjoy!!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Needless to say... it definitely brought me to tears!
