Since then, I've gotten married, got a taste of what it's like to be a pastor's wife, lived in another province for a while, and am now pregnant with our first precious child. I feel like the last 2 years of my life have been defined by 'change'. It has been a whirlwind - and that feels like an immense understatement. The person I was, while I haven't lost who I am, is definitely not the person I am now. I have had a lot of reflecting time as of late.
We moved back to Alberta from BC in April, and I have been out of work since February. We found out we were pregnant the weekend before we moved. So the first four months here I spent on the couch or in bed enjoying the joys of "morning" sickness (whoever named it that I would like to have words with.) It was surprising, being the extrovert I am, how content I was to not leave the house for days on end. Now, I am learning the glorious second trimester actually does exist, and I am nearly crawling out of my own skin at the thought of staying in the house for days on end. Yesterday I read nearly an entire novel in one sitting. Maybe this is the reason I've decided to blog again - some sort of attempt at interaction with the outside world. We've decided that I will not be getting a job - as we only have one car and transit in this town doesn't exist - and who really is going to want to hire me for 3 months at the end of summer. So I am left to my own while Jason, my husband, works to provide for us. While I do have friends - they seem to be very busy, or they live in a different city - so my friends interactions are limited to the virtual realm anyhow. So here I am.
My oodles time is spent now - reading books and blogs, playing silly games on my phone, attempting to learn how to play bass guitar, researching the million mom decisions I will soon have to make, and napping. Oh, and eating chocolate.
