To Future Aaron and Kate
Remember back when you lived in Michigan for a few months and Aaron was finishing seminary? Before you had "real" jobs and kids and a "to do" list a mile long? Those were the days, weren't they? All that time in the evenings to go for long walks and to watch 2-3 episodes of LOST in a row. Remember how much cereal you ate at night and how empty your fridge was? Oh yeah, and how about those minimum wage jobs that you had? But really, in a way it was just so nice to simply "clock in & clock out" and not have to worry about it until the next time you went. Remember your Saturday morning tradition of getting coffee and going to the farmer's market, oh yeah and don't forget your Sunday afternoon tradition of studying and reading for hours at Panera with hazelnut coffee and bagels. Soon enough your days in Michigan will be "back when we lived in Michigan" or "back before we had kids" or "didn't you love the fall in Michigan when we went to the farmer's market with our coffee?" and you will wish you hadn't taken them so for granted.

you are so right! I do remember those times, but they are like a dream... If I had one more day to waste away in a coffee-bookshop with out feeling guilt ro knowing I was paying a sitter 10$ and hour!!!
on the other hand I remember when I only thought about myself and didn't have little hugs and snuggles and funny sayings everyday coming out of those little faces. I miss the "single" life, but the one to come is so much more. No BS- it is different, and you will miss your old life, but you will have something so new. I can't wait!
