Yesterday was beautiful. Kirsten was beautiful.

She was so happy & was excited about her baptism. I was so proud of her.

Thank you to those who came and supported her and who sent your love.

Last box

Woohoo! After living here for two months we're finally down to one box in the house that needs to be unpacked. There are things to go through in the garage, but as far as the stuff that matters most we're done. Feels so good!

Plus it was pizza night here & I have some yummy Fudge Shoppe cookies from my cute man.

A good day. :o)

Thank You

It's been a long week. Round 2 of the sickies hit us hard. A childhood friend died. It's been cold here. I've had deadlines, but have been fighting to stay awake. As always it seems, I am tired.

I may be a little weary, but I'm also very blessed. So, thank you.

Thank you Vern for turning on the furnace. And for the chocolate. And cute smiles.
Thank you whoever invented disinfecting wipes, soft tissues, painkillers & Nyquil.
Thank you Robin for sending me the newspaper article so I could grieve with & pray for some of my old friends and their families.
Thank you Janell for being such a sweetheart.
Thank you Julie & Kyle for always making me laugh.
Thank you squirrely girls for your chatter and your friendship.
Thank you itunes for inexpensive music shopping when I need a tune.
Thank you Becky & Sophia for uplifting & updated blogs to read.
Thank you to my 4 cute babes for the cuddles & grins.
Thank you Heavenly Father for my family, my home and my friends.

Yum.

Raisin Bran Crunch has been my favorite cereal for years. Until today. I fell in love with it's newer, younger sibling. Cran-Vanilla Crunch Oh my, this is good stuff. Mmmmmmmmmmm...

She

She's the most like me.
She's an artist.

She doesn't like to clean her room.
She is strong.
She is beautiful.

She frustrates me.

She dances.
She has confidence.
She likes pink.
She is a bit of a tomboy.

She can throw a temper tantrum like no other.

She is thoughtful.
She makes me smile.

I love you Kirsten. Even though I'm not too happy with the state of your room most days. I'm still not sure where you get your aversion to cleaning. Must be daddy's fault.

A few things I love.

1. Elijah
2. My bed
3. Late afternoon light
4. Cuddles
   
5. His giggles
6. My camera
7. Naps

Good for the heart

...to talk to a friend.

Just a quick entry tonight. I've been dancing for joy all night because I got an e-mail from one of my favorite people in this world. My friend Vivian that I haven't heard from in a really long time. We've both had babies and such while we lost touch. It's been years. Her & her husband Wil have such a special place in mine & Vern's hearts and we were both so glad to hear from them again. Such a happy thing to hear from old friends. :)

Now to chug some Robitussen and pass out with my babe again.
