March Goals

After a wonderful, busy February.. I'm hoping for a slower March. My goals this month are more of just a list of things that will happen or really need to happen, haha. We're entering the last stretch of preparing for our sweet baby boy and can't wait to meet him. It's hard not to daydream about it all the time. Even in the middle of this crazy season of anticipation, I'm still really passionate about watering the close relationships we're blessed to have. My desire for this month is to say "no" to things that don't matter and "yes" to rest, quality time with Ben, and intentional steps to feel more prepared for when we bring Sweet Baby Strader home. We've been so humbled by the kindness of people celebrating our first two baby showers with us. Showers are such an interesting thing because sometimes it feels weird to be the "VIP" of the event, and it just seems impossible to adequately communicate your gratitude. If anyone has any tips on this, send them my way in time for our last two celebrations. :)
