On the Horizon:

• A new "Sinclair" baby. I am shamelessly excited to meet one that I haven't personally delivered! Could be tomorrow, could be 3+ weeks from now... but soon, either way.
  
• My 25th year alive. I'll be 24 years old, in case you can't figure that out.
• Raking leaves and burning them. I have missed that distinct and wonderful autumn smell that can only be enjoyed when living in rural USA.
• A visit from two of my dearest friends at the end of the month! This will be my first chance to sit and really talk with them since I moved from Pittsburgh last October.
• Our yard getting fenced in. The fruits of this won't truly be experienced until next spring, but it's still exciting to me.
• Getting to know the many new faces of students that joined us on Sunday. Yay!
• Cherry pie tomorrow morning for breakfast, baked by my mom for me and left-over from this evening's celebration. The family singing Happy Birthday to me in person (not over the telephone) hasn't happened since I turned 19 until tonight; kinda made me feel like a little girl and super-special all over again.
• New mercies. I cannot even describe how much peace this affords my heart.
