Day 6/26: Chillin' with Baby Abigail
Today was pretty good. I woke up and hung out with Ate Belay and Abigail. I always love hanging out with her because we can just open up about everything. We can both vent about the mutual people in our lives. And I can open up to her about Dom. It's always nice. Don't worry bb, nothing bad. I was all excited to tell her about our future plans and how we've been talking about getting engaged. She got super excited for us :) I love it... so much support. She even showed me her huge binder of wedding stuff. That shiz scared me X_X I was like... uhhhmm yay haha she said just remembering planning hers gave her a headache. Hopefully I'll be able to get some good tips from her, though, try to cut costs as much as possible.
I told her how I finally opened up to Dom about BNP. I told her the past year has just been so good for us and it really helped me to trust him and put down my guards. And I realized then that BNP was kind of my last guard... the thing closest to me. That's why I get so defensive when people try to say anything about it, because until you experience it, you just don't know. And it's not like I'm judging other religious organizations, either. It's not about whose is better.
She told me more about nursing school and how she's already registered to take her pre-reqs in May and how Mama Gem and Ate Cy are trying to help as much as possible to take care of Abby while she's at class/clinical. I'm so excited for her! She was also tell me how she's trying to get Abby to use sign language, too. We also watched the last few episodes of Friends from the last season because I was like, "So did Ross and Rachel get married at the end or what?!"
She made juice for me...... drool. I was a juicer really badly! Finally do a juice detox. But I don't think it'd be as good if it were all fruit like the smoothies Donnie makes. Those smoothies are soooooooooooooooooo good.
Anyways, it was nice to catch up with her. I told her how I literally came to the realization about God and His perfect timing. I always had that belief, "in His time", but I guess I never really thought about a moment in time when it became concrete to me until I was talking to Ate Bel. Like I realized, everything happened in my life in exactly the right time in order for me to be exactly where I am right now, in the position I am to serve Him fully, without any distraction. School is done, I have a wonderful job that I am so grateful for, Dom and I are in an amazing time in our relationship full of love and trust, and of course my family is just as good as it can be. It's like He made sure I was set... He made sure I was good to go! It's so good.
Then Ate Bel started comparing me to her... and she's like... if you're anything like me, you'll have a baby by the end of your term! hahahaha oh geeeez... but yes, 5 years is a long time! Lots of life changes! Heaps of excitement!!
AND TO TOP OFF THE DAY - got to talk to Donnie boo, even for just a bit. It's always a surprise and a blessing to hear his voice considering I never know the next time I'll get to talk to him for real (minus weekends). Then he had to poop. Missing you! Holding down the fort :) I know he's not exactly loving what he's doing, but he sounds well... and that's all I could hope for.
