It has been a long, full, amazing first Mother’s Day for me. We spent all day with family, and it was just a special day. You can’t really ever know how much your parents love you, until you become a parent yourself, and experience this kind of motherly love for yourself. Having my little precious girl now, puts my own mother, and everything she does for us, in a whole new light. (I know it’s cliche, but wow it’s so true.) So thank you Mommy, for being the most amazing mother!

This morning started out with a special Mother’s Day outing, all by myself! First, I went to Lucky Goat for a quiet breakfast. I had the chocolate caramel cold brew (which is the flavor of the month) and a pistachio muffin. Both were super yummy. Then I went to get a much-needed pedicure! …

This Friday has been full of lots of good things! This morning started out with a sweet Mommy & Me breakfast at Emerson’s daycare. She had strawberries & pancakes, and I had the most delicious blueberry scone in the history of ever.

Today was one of those “regular” days where nothing big or extraordinary happens. It’s just normal. But there is still lots of “good” to be found in the normal.

So a quick note first – Jeff and I both work downtown, only a couple of blocks from each other, so we carpool almost every single day, with a few exceptions when needed. He drives, then drops me off & picks me up each day. Today, he got stuck a work at little late, so I walked the three blocks down to his office. It was windy (I kept having to hold my dress down!) and warm. We’re not quite to the sweltering Florida summer yet, so it’s still tolerable to walk a quarter-of-a-mile at 5pm. In a few weeks, that will probably not be true anymore.

After we picked up Emerson from daycare tonight, we ran in to Trader Joe’s for a couple of things. We ended up getting a few “extras” while we were there, and enjoyed a Chinese food feast for dinner! I slightly burned the chicken fried rice in the skillet (womp womp), but it was still edible. Both of us said our favorite was the little pork dumplings. So good, and it was all only like 10-ish bucks! Emerson had peas, strawberries, and some of the rice, which she loved!

We’ve technically already had THREE birthday celebrations/meals for him in the last few days (dinner Saturday, dinner Sunday, lunch today), but today is finally his actual birthday! Today he turned 37. (He’s seven years older than me, FYI.) I just wanted to share a short by slightly sappy journal post, in honor of his special day today! I’m just so dang thankful that this sweet, freckled & bearded man is my hubby! He takes such good care of our little family, and makes me laugh with his cheesy jokes. So glad the Lord saw fit for us to find each other, almost seven years ago now. Praying for another great year of life for him, as a 37-year-old! Love you, Babes! …
Today started out by substitute teaching the 4th grade Sunday school class. We played ballooon volleyball to review the lesson.

I got to enjoy a couple of hours all to myself this afternoon. Emerson was napping, and husband was running some errands. I cuddled up on the couch under my Grandmother’s quilt, and it was so cozy. It was quiet and peaceful and restful, and it was just so lovely.

My Grandparents built their home together when I was a teeny-tiny newborn baby, back in 1988. They lived there for almost 30 years together before my Granddaddy passed away in August 2016. Since then, Grandmommie hasn’t felt quite up to living alone, and so last weekend, their cute little yellow house in the country was sold. Tonight she treated us all to a steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse, in honor of that house. I’ll miss that cute little yellow house immensely (that used to be blue when I was growing up), but I’m thankful for the years & years of memories our family made there. Gonna end this here now, instead of getting more & more mushy….
