Freeze Time

Right now I am in a place where I just want to freeze time. Yes, I am excited for the baby to come, but I also get a little sad when I realize it will never just be Jon and I as a family again. I love spending time with him, he is my very best friend. I feel like we have done so much together in the short time we have known each other. I will miss it being just him and I. Despite being really busy, we still get to spend a lot of time together- especially now that Jon is on break from grad school for a month. The other night after we decorated the tree and the living room was lit up for Christmas, I put on a song and slow danced with Jon. I got emotional as I realized how much I just wanted to freeze that moment forever. It was perfect.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We went up to Maryland to be with my cousins, parents, and some aunts and uncles. My cousin Max just loves Jon. They are great buds. It is so cute seeing them together. Max doesn't have any brothers so Jon is really like a brother to him. He is only 13 but is very mature and is a great kid.
