here comes the sun

So, recently when people have asked me how I'm doing and I have almost feltsorry to them that I did't have some wild tail of deep despair (you'll have to excuse the dramatic sentiments I just completed my latest reading of Pride and Prejucide. James just can't understand how I can read and watch it over and over again...although I must admit I sometimes skip ahead to my favorite parts(like when Darcy proposes to Lizzie for the first time) anyway...), but then I am so thankful that everything seems to be going just right. My reason for musing on this point is that people often think, "oh you're not really that happy, something must be wrong she just isn't telling me." But, you know what, for this moment I am perfectly contented. That may change tomorrow, but for right now I have so much to be grateful for.



I have the most wonderful husband in the world. For example, tonight while I was cooking dinner he came up behind me and said, "Sweetheart, I should cook dinner more often." I thought, that sounds great! The funny thing is that when I was about to ask for his help I noticed him thoroughly enjoying the Sunday paper. What can you do? I really do think he'll cook dinner more often. What a great guy!!



I also have the sweetest little boy ever (so I know some of you other moms will have to disagree and say that your child is the sweetest ever and that's okay i guess). He loves to give kisses, the only problem is that he hasn't quite learned how to kiss with his lips, rather than his teeth. OUCH!!



James and I are blessed with great families. Even though we don't keep in touch as well as we should, we love them and are appreciative of their love and support. We sure do miss them and are looking forward to seeing some of them this weekend. Thank goodness for weddings and airplanes.



I am also so thankful that it is almost summer time. It is supposed to be cold this week, but then it is May. Wahoo! Good thing I didn't put away all of the winter clothes! I guess I was a little bit flip flop happy! There are few things I love more than flip flops on my feet and the sun on my face, smothered in sunblock of course.



So, I'm grateful nothing exciting is going on. I love living a simple life and enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
