California, here we come...

Image
Tomorrow morning, me and 3 of some of my favorite people will be roadtrippin' it down to the Golden State of California (specifically San Fran) for 3 days. We have no agenda really which is incredibly exciting. We see it as a ripe opportunity to be lead by the Spirit for a few days as we fellowship with people as well as enjoy each other AND God's creation.

Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot wait to be a mother. I often sit around and daydream about watching my future babies run around the lawn of my future house while my future husband chases them...anyways, as you can see I can easily get a little bit carried away. Since I love babies SO much, I already have some names picked out. What, you don't do that? It is simply planning ahead, people. So here it is (keep in mind that this is just the smallest fraction of the list, just a mere sampling) Girls : Charis Noelle Selah Eden Zahara Fiona Brielle Emiliana Boys: Jude Milo Mikhail Joel Amos Noah See how fun that was? do you have a list of names for future children? do you take into account meaning, or do you just look at the way it sounds? what are some names that you like?
