October 1st?! Are you kidding me? Wasn't yesterday, July 4th?
Fall is my most favorite time of year. *Yes, I said MOST FAVORITE! I love the air. I love the leaves. I love thinking about my family being together for Thanksgiving and no presents. I love football. I love bonfires. I love jeans. I just really love the air. It's just so crisp and brisk... :)
I'll admit, recess was a little chilly today though! :)
I know I've said it before, but time flies! It's so hard for me to believe that I'll be planning Graden's 1st birthday party soon! I am so lucky...
Actually, I'm lucky for so many reasons. My mind is on overload ... it has been since a week ago today. Mike has been gone for a week now. We are all moving forward - but not moving "on". Mike will remain in our hearts forever...
My best buddy told me today that she was remaining positive. (She was a close friend to Mike, too.) Everyday she has been waking up, reminding herself to be thankful for what she has and knowing that she (as well as the rest of us) is lucky for what she still has in her life. We just have to realize that - and every day will be a good day! What a great friend she has been to me and my family...
Yet, another reminder that I'm lucky: GREAT FRIENDS!
I read a blog today of a friend of Phil's... they went to school together so they are the same age as us. Even though we don't see them much, I'm SUPER excited to read that they are about to pick up their NEW BABY! They get to adopt a brand new baby! I LOVE THAT! I love the feeling of knowing this couple is about to experience one of the greatest feelings in life: CHILDREN. There are days of course when that baby will test their patience - - but nothing (NOTHING) will ever compare to the happiness you'll experience when they look up at you and recognize that you are their parent. Ah... makes me feel all mushy inside! :) Congrats to them!
Off to work I go... Enjoy your day today and your days to come. Please remember to say things today because we just don't know if you'll get a chance to say them tomorrow....
