So I am 39 weeks preggo and this is what is on my mind today....
First off, where are you flash drive?! Cori came home from work earlier on a search for one of his flash drives. Apparently it has very important stuff on it that would be devastating to lose and it is no where to be found. I've been tearing up the house looking for it and have not found it. It is so frustrating to lose something that you so desperately want and need. I really really hope it shows up somewhere. Sometimes things like this are easily found when we are not looking or stop caring. I hope this is the case because right now it's driving me crazy.
What else is driving me crazy? Start rant : I think one of my biggest pet peeves right now with the whole Kony talk is people who are asking why don't we take care of our own problems in the USA instead of trying to fix another country. The reason I personally take offense to these popular comments is because most (not all) of these people have never stepped foot in a third world country or anywhere outside of the USA where they have witnessed firsthand the horrors others have to deal with on a daily basis. This world is a big place with a lot of good and unfortunately a lot of bad as well. Most of us are ignorant and sheltered in our opinions about other countries. I've had my fair share of traveling and helping others in third world countries and I STILL consider myself ignorant in the matters of this world. There is so much going on beyond our backyards that we are blind to mostly because we don't care to know. If you are that person who doesn't know and who doesn't understand what it is like to live in a world full of fear and pain then it's okay...join the millions. However, don't judge or slow down a movement that is bringing awareness to those who don't know and care to know. There is a lot of talk about whether Invisible Children is doing the right thing with the whole Kony 2012 campaign. I am not going to state my opinion on it. All I have to say is that they've accomplished something HUGE and that it has brought awareness to something/someone so horrible and given people the opportunity to do something about it. That is amazing in my opinion. We are called to love one another and take care of each other regardless of our race, color, religion, or background. We are all human and should not be favored or disfavored based on our location, citizenships, or boundaries. Open your eyes people!! There is so much more to this world than you know. Step out and experience it and make a difference if you can. End rant.
Continuing with what else in on my mind...
CAI JACKSON BEMIS of course. I can't believe that literally any minute, hour, or day now my son will bless us with his presence. Corigan and I are getting impatient and I'm not going to lie, it's getting really hard to stay cool, calm, and collected. As much as my mom wants him to wait to get here, I want him ouuuuuuuuttttttttttt. I know he will come when his little heart desires and he is ready to take on this world but I am hoping it is sooner than later because these past couple of weeks have been draining and exhausting. I think about him all the time and what he will be like and what WE will be like as parents. Such an incredible journey we have ahead of us and it's only the beginning. We are so grateful for all the people already in his life. He is so blessed already and he hasn't even made his debut yet. We are surrounded by people who love us and care about us and by default so is Cai. I am so happy Corigan and I have the family and friends that we do because it only means that Cai will grow up surrounded with love and care always. Thank you all for that. God has worked wonders in my life over the years and I can't help but think that it was all to prepare me for this moment where I can share and teach my child in the right ways. I am so excited.
Almost done with on my mind list of items...My mom and sister get here in three days!!! If I could jump for joy I would but I don't have the energy or the balance to. They will be spending a month here in Okinawa with us. My mom and dad visited us this time last year so she already knows what Okinawa is like, my sister on the other hand hasn't and I am so ready to show her around and make her fall in love with this island. It's a beautiful place! I'm not going to lie....I am SOOOOO looking forward to my mom's cooking and my sister's sarcasm and jokes. It will be a lovely time.
Last thing on my mind... Cheese. pizza. apples. orange juice. and potatoes. All in that order. Hope everyone is having a great day :) Will update once this little munchkin graces us with his presence!
love you all <3
