Warning:Sharp Curve Ahead

Why doesn't life have those type of warning signs?  I mean, one day you're driving along and things seem smooth and peaceful when out of nowhere you're careening around a sharp curve you were pretty unprepared for encountering.  There should be signs.  Or at least a speedbump or two.  But that's not how life works, I guess.  My husband and I have went careening around a curve or two before in our almost two decades of togetherness and this may be the sharpest one we've encountered yet.  The difference this time?  I'm driving.  Haha!  Well, that was a little humor, but truthful at the same time.  I am now the driver.  And we are experiencing the most togetherness in all of our time together and despite all the warnings...we're loving it.  Really.  I love every minute I get to spend with him.  

So for all of you keeping track out there...here's my 2013:

1. Daughter gets married in a wedding that I get to plan in two months?  Check.

2. First grandchild on the way?  Check.

3. Son going off to college? Check.

4. Two of "my" babies in daycare heading off to kindergarten?  Check.

5. Hubby being home full time as we try to deal with reduced income and not reduced bills? Check.  

6. Vacation postponed because of several of the above?  Check.  Grr.  

I think that might be enough change for one year.  Don't you?  But, no, we're throwing another one onto the list...

7. Start a new business?  Check.   

Yep.  It is official.  We are starting a new business venture.  Blind Spot Nut Butters.  The hubby and I are both peanut butter addicts.  I mean, I would exist (and have) on the stuff and it just seemed like it made sense.  It is giving him a focus and I am fully on board.   I'm the flavor developer, he's the dreamer and the muscle behind the grinder.  It's a good mix.  We make good partners. 

Our first tasting is this weekend and I'm nervous!  I can't wait to share our vision and flavors but there's that little doubt that sticks around no matter what.  I can't wait to share more with you as things progress. 

Either way, our seatbelts are fastened and we're ready for this sharp curve ahead...but secretly I'm hoping for some smooth roads!   I mean, I feel like I am at a good place.  I'm happy and relying on God to show us our path and guide us.  It doesn't mean that I"m always calm and at ease...I certainly have my pity party moments but I'm mostly there.  Life is good despite the hubby's disability and whatever else we have down the road.  I am trusting the plan that God is putting in place in our lives.  But still, couldn't there be a sign or two warning us about the next curve?  Is that too much to ask?
