Good times are Coming...

I'm feeling good today.

*The Utes won in a crazy, intense, overtime game.

*I'm heading with family out of town (Park City) for Labor Day weekend this afternoon, and there is a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory within walking distance.

*My darling Ab is back. She has been bravely handling all these changes, but at times, her little eight year old body has struggled with figuring out how to deal with it all. I know, all kids go through stages...but, I love my Ab just the way she is. I'd prefer the emotional stability stick around for good. (In all honesty, a little "positive reinforcement" (aka bribery) in the form of American Girl Bitty Baby Twins may have aided the rapid change of attitude just a tad. Who doesn't need a little motivation from time to time??)

*I am just in love with my Deak and his fun stage he is in right now. Now that he is independently moving and communicating more...he is just so dang happy all the time. I had to wake him from a dead sleep this morning to take him to a sitter's home; he squinted his eyes, got up on his knees and held his arms for me. Within two minutes he was drinking his chocolate milk, blowing me kisses and laughing. I have so much to learn from him.

*I have great people in my life. You just happen to know when I need your emails, texts, calls, dinners or treats. My husband even surprised me with a present on the day I wrote my last post. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking of how much your support has sustained me during some of my darker days. Acknowledging that I have those days has been extremely helpful in helping my heart process through some of this stuff, and I appreciate your lack of judgement and true, sincere love and service.  Means more than you know...

Here's to happy Holiday weekend things for all of you...
