Hard to believe that today is the 10th of June. There are days where everything seems a bit overwhelming and I guess I could say that this day is one of those days. Don't take it the wrong way, life is so good, and I have so many blessings, but sometimes I am overwhelmed by the love that is expressed to myself and my family. Gosh..I just don't even know if I know the right words to say.
Thank you to all of my wonderful friends and family members who have called, sent emails, cards wishing both Mike and I happy birthdays. How awesome it is to know we are thought about on our days. :) I don't want to sound too sappy, but it is hard not too. When speaking to my sister last night, I realized just how much I miss my Grandma B. Birthdays are just not the same without her and her voice on the phone or the note and card that she would send. When does the pain/hurt go away? I ask myself that all the time. When do I realize that I can't pick up the phone and call her and tell her the latest news? Maybe it never goes away. In a way, I hope it doesn't. I want to keep her fresh in my mind. Oh to get one more Grandma hug...what I would do for one of those. I know she is smiling down on me today and I think I may have to dig out my Grandma Keepsake box tonight and try and find the note she wrote me last year on this day..it is so comforting to read her writings......
Miss Bella decided to give mommy a great birthday present! HA! I decided to go into work later this morning, so I left her outside by the deck, tied up. She decided to go under the deck to the other side, then tried to come back the other way. Well she got herself all tangled up, decided to dig in the mud and when I went out try and find her, I looked over the edge and there was her little head peeking up at me with the look of "HELP MOM I AM STUCK!". She is so muddy! Oh my goodness...a bath will be needed tonight. She is in the garage for the day and needless to say she knows she is in trouble.
Our weekend was good. Mike celebrated his birthday, almost the entire weekend. He got to go pick out a few things at Lowes, and I took him out to dinner on Saturday evening. We also went to see the Indiana Jones movie. I love INDY movies.
Today is going to be a gorgeous day outside! I love days like this! :) My awesome hubby is taking me out for chinese food tonight at my favorite place in Liberty! Way excited! And I am hoping to leave a bit early to get a pedicure/manicure. Oh yes and my friend Leslie is meeting me for lunch. What a great day it shall be!
We sold our furniture to a couple last night. It is nice to have more room in the garage now. Hoping to get more of it cleaned out this week, before it gets any hotter out there! Company coming this weekend so we must prepare for them too! I am hoping to get some newer pictures of Isaac posted on here soon! It has been a while since I have seen him! He is now using his legs a lot more, Kara says. We will see him on Saturday and Sunday and he better be prepared for plenty of Auntie D kisses! :)
I guess that about wraps it up for the day. Thanking God today for each of you and for the gift of life that I have been given for 32 years! Wow...Can't believe it has been that long! :)
Have a sunny day!
