Ok, quickly - I wanted to write this stuff down.
First of all - I wanted to, belatedly, comment on Egypt. Amazing. Nothing short of amazing. Lauren and Emma, I want you to make a point of reading about this event when you are older. I feel this quote is soooo appropriate for those brave people who stood together to change their destiny.
"We are the ones we have been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." -- President Obama
Second - I would like to write down how amazing my life is. I appreciate everything I have more now than ever before. Every day I can't help but stand in awe of all of the things I have in my life.
My soul mate and best friend, my amazing children, my beautiful home, my profession, my friends, my family, health, knowledge, this great country we live in, even my pets! All of these things bring me so much happiness.
As I drive to work every day, I look out at this beautiful city, the sun shining and the leaves blowing around and feel so much contentment. I drop Lauren off at the best elementary school in Salt Lake, then take Emma to Challenger where she can play and learn at one of the best preschools around. Jeff and I enjoy the challenges our jobs bring and are able to provide for our children because we work hard. At night, we all come together in our cozy home for dinner and Uno and to play with our dogs and cat. We go for evening walks around our neighborhood, enjoying tree lined streets and friendly "hello's" from neighbors. We have date night on Wednesday when we get coffee and browse bookstores or have dinner at a favorite spot and then catch a movie. We have a big, diverse circle of friends who make us laugh and give us support. As of this week - we will have every weekend together as a family for adventures and hanging out! No more 7 day work week!
Can you feel the love FLOWING!!!??
There really are too many things to list and I have to get back to work!
So....have a great Wednesday and remember to focus on the good stuff!!
