Waiting

Life sometimes seems like a waiting game - you know, hurry up and wait.  Some things I am waiting for:

1.  to meet this baby.
2.  for Gavin to grow into his size 13.5 feet.
3.  for Coal to grow into her ears.
4.  for Kate to grow enough to get rid of her five-point harness car seat and use a booster seat.
5.  for Enoch to stop squealing.
6.  for Enoch to stop running away.
7. for Enoch to stop being so mischievous (I may be waiting a lot time for this one).
8.  for my house to be clean (again, a long time).
9.  for Gavin to get his driver's license (who knew I would be looking forward to this day, but Gavin driving himself to early morning band practice sounds heavenly right now).
10.  for my parents to get home from their mission (I am so thankful they are serving and we count our mission blessings in our family, but I do miss them).
11.  for my front yard to look somewhat decent.
12.  for my kids to stop whining about dinner.
13.  for Greg and I to go on an extended vacation (maybe for our 20 year anniversary - in three years).
14.  for my favorite jeans to fit again (I'm talking pre-Kate; maybe I should just get rid of them - they are taunting me from the closet).
15.  for life not to pass me by while I am waiting!

Isn't it great that life teaches us patience!
