Caleb's got a girlfriend, or two, or three....

Caleb and I went to a birthday party today for one of the girls in his gymnastics class. This girl's sister is also in his class and has apparently chosen Caleb to be her boyfriend. It's so stinkin adorable. Caleb was sitting there minding his own business and playing with toys while all the girls there were just running around him trying to look cute. After his gymnastics class last week, we all went to lunch together and Caleb and one of the girls were hugging in the corner of the play area. He's already a stud muffin.... :-)

In other recent news, semester 4 is underway and going well. I'm enjoying my classes, except for one that's kind of a pain, but overall it's not bad and survivable. My schedule is a little trickier this semester since I'm now starting to get the point where I just have to take the classes when they're offered. I only have about 8 classes left until I've finished all my requirements to graduate. I should be done Spring 2011, then I'll be off to do my interning somewhere. Crazy how time is flying, even though at times it seems like I'll never get there. My mom has been my angel in all this, helping me with Caleb. I'm still with him the majority of the time, which is a miracle, but when I'm not, he's got my whole family. I know that many other single mommas are not so lucky, and I'm so grateful for God's blessings.

Verse of the Day

This verse hit home for me tonight. What perfect words to begin the new year with. I find myself many times thinking of the past and wishing so much that things would have turned out differently, but I am constantly reminded of God's goodness and love for me. He does not want me to dwell on the past. Instead, I am to cling to the joy that is in the here and now and be filled with the hope that my Father is making a way for me in the desert.

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

Isaiah 43: 18-19
