Just a Normal Day

Today was just a normal day for the Fry family. But, after finding out that Tripp gained his wings yesterday, I treasured every single moment that I got with Ryder.
Mommy and baby bear went to church this morning at Coastline Church. Ryder loves the child care there. Everyone is so nice. It's smaller than COTH, but people have been so nice to me and they rave over Ryder. Today was an "in between sermon"-one between two series. Next week starts the Love and Respect marriage series and I am really excited about it. This book emphasizes everything I learned in school. I also registered myself and Pat for the marriage seminar in February. I tried to explain to him that you don't have to have a marriage "in trouble" to go to a marriage seminar-it makes a good marriage even better. There are also a few things in the book I want to discuss with Pat about making sure God is our #1 priority and that our marriage is one that exhibits God's love to others.
After church, Ryder and I met with our friend, Kaye, and her baby at a mall in El Cajon. It was nice to get out with a friend and see other people haha. Daddy stayed home and had a relaxing day to himself.
Tomorrow is supposed to be Ryder's first day of daycare. What a sad day it is going to be for me. I have been torn with feelings of guilt and excitement about this next phase of my life. I know I need to be able to have an identity outside of "Ryder's mom/domestic goddess". I  want to have a job-I want to have a life and friends outside of the house-I want to get out of the house with friends every once in awhile. I am so in love with my baby boy and it makes me feel bad sometimes, but I know it's okay to want to get out sometimes. I just don't want Ryder to like the people at KinderCare better than me haha.
We still haven't heard from NACCRRA yet. Ryder will be there 3 days a week-Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. But this first week of class is a little different. When we go in and do paperwork tomorrow, I have to see if our 3 days can be Wed, Thurs, and Fri this week instead of the other days. Not only will that help with my school schedule but I am hoping to hear back from NACCRRA, too, since they are closed tomorrow.
Anyway. That is all that is really going on right now. I will let you know at the end of the week how class has gone and how tomorrow goes at KinderCare.
Treasure your families, hold them close, and give them an extra kiss tonight.
