Remember, these are some of the best days of your life. You will miss these days dearly, you will cherish these memories. You must stay in this moment and not be a hurry to move on to the next thing. You must have faith that the details and the stresses will work themselves out in due time. You have to be willing to give up control and simply celebrate the gifts that have been given to you in this moment. Ultimately, these people and times that are precious, not the things that are annoying or stressful or missing, will stick in your mind. In 25 years, you probably won't even remember how you balanced that budget or how small things felt like a sacrifice - you will long for their little arms around your neck in the morning. And you will be happy that you remember.
Amen, sister!
