A Lull of Excitement

Lately Aaron has been laughing at me because I'm excited "all the time". I guess you could say I've been a little overly excited about too many things lately. I never thought I'd be getting made fun of for being excited too much. I thought being excited about something would be a good thing, but I think I may have reached the point where it might just be plain annoying. I'm not going to lie...I'm sitting here thinking about all the things I've been excited about lately, and I'm having to resist the urge to run in the other room and tell Aaron yet another thing I'm excited about. I know exactly what his response would be too. He would just laugh, shake his head, and say "you're excited about everything".

I'm excited about the fact that I only have to work four days this week. I'm excited to get to spend some time with family this weekend. I'm super excited about the fact that we're refinishing a table for our new house at my dad and Jody's. I was really excited about the fact that it was going to reach 60 degrees this weekend until I heard that it was supposed to rain for almost the next ten days straight. But then I got excited again when I remembered how "April showers bring May flowers" (or so they say). I was really excited about dinner tonight when I walked in the door from work and could smell Barb's delicious meal cooking for us, and I'm sure I'll be really excited about at least ten other meals this week. Not to mention, I'm extremely excited about my our new house!! I'm excited to be able to paint the walls, work in the garden, sit on my sun porch and drink tea on a Saturday morning, make meals in my new kitchen, and do all the other things that homeowners do.

Don't get me wrong. There are plenty of things that I could not be excited about, but it's so much more fun to be excited about things. The Lord has blessed us so much, and I'm thankful even for the ability to get excited. I hope I stay in this lull of excitement for a long time.
