Exciting and scary changes

Its weird to think of where I was almost 10 months ago. Unmarried recent college grad about to embark on a new and scary life as a Marine corps wife with no job or real Job experience in the field that I wanted to work besides coaching volleyball,no clue as to where I would be living in August or if I would even be living in the United States and if my husband would even be stateside for much longer. Well here I am 10 months later happily married to my wonderful husband, I have an amazing job which I am totally excited about, we bought a house in NC and hopefully we will be here for almost 5 years and (drum roll please) friday Josh and I will become parents (probably the scariest yet most exciting and rewarding event to happen in the last 10 months). I had a friend tell me once right after Josh and I got married and found out we were pregnant I don't know how you've done it you have some of the most stressful things that could happen to a person all happen in the course of a few months Graduating college,getting married, moving three times (out of my apartment to my parents ,out of my parents to Florida and from florida to NC) and then finding out that you are about to have a child. I said I honestly have no clue how I did it I just took things as they came and non of it was bad . Every single thing was an amazing blessing (although I am ready for just one life changing event to happen at time instead of all at once but I guess when it rains it pours lol). I guess the moral of this blog is life happens sometimes when you've prepared for it sometimes when you have no clue whats going to happen and you just have to go with the flow. I was so not ready to be a mom but I look back and the timimg could not have been anymore perfect. Josh will be here and has been here for most of the pregnancy and he will be here for the birth. He will also be here for Calebs first year of life (which is almost virtually unheard of in a marines life who is deployable). And I cannot be anymore excited to meet my son on friday who is hopefully a healthy beutiful baby boy. It just amazing to think how ones life can change drastically in a matter of 10 months.
