So many things to look forward to....



What a difference a few months makes.  I was probably feeling the worst I had in a long time in January.  Now, here we are in the end of April and I am feeling the best I have in a long time.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing.  I love the hum of a lawn mower running and the smell of fresh cut grass.  Jeremiah's Uncle Alan bought the hardware store in town, and I am looking forward to their greenhouse opening on May 1st.  I can support a local business and get all my flowers for my planters.  I love the smell of tomato plants, and that sticky feeling you get on your hands after you plant petunias.  I love lying in the grass on a blanket, looking up at the fluffy clouds with Landon.  Listening while he tells me of all the shapes and animals he can imagine them into.  I love driving with the windows down, listening to my kids sing along with the radio, even if they don't know half of the words.  I love snuggling the baby and all his slobbery kisses.  I even love changing his diaper because he laughs and yells NA NA NA NA NA NA!!  I love when my Husband comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me on the back of the neck.  I love watching my dogs play and roll around in the grass, sometimes I join them.  I love the looks on my kids faces in campfire light, as they bite into smores.  I love long walks with a good friend, and family bike rides. It's nice to not just say it, but really feel it, that for the first time in a long time I am in love with life again.  AWESOME.......
