Smiles for every one!!

Today I'm grateful for.......

More time on the elliptical.

Genuinely being happy, almost 100% of the time these days.

Sharing my smiles with everyone.

Taylor bringing her social studies grade back up after missing some school, Yea Taylor!

Kelsey's tech meeting getting over early leaving us time for dinner between her "stuff". Riding with the windows down, radio cranked, laughing and singing at the top of our lungs with my daughters! (The Cars)

Giggling through dinner conversation with my girls. Watching them, trying not to tear up because I'm so proud of them, trying to etch these moments in my mind without them noticing me watching them. I love having teenage girls, sometimes it's rocky, but for the most part it's been so joyous I wouldn't give it up for anything.

Kelsey and Taylor laughing and singing "the happy song"? At the table in Pepe's, watching them looking at each other while singing and smiling, so funny.

Dropping Kelsey back off at Harrison for her Japanese class's movie night.

All things girlie with Taylor :) She and I had manicures and pedicures while Kelsey was at her movie night. Giggling and chatting with Taylor during our pedicures. Getting comments from other moms who wish they could have what I have with my girls. Always getting comments about how well behaved, beautiful, and smart my girls are.

Pulling into the parking lot at Harrison to pick Kelsey up and seeing her "hanging" with her friends outside the front door, doing nothing except talking and laughing. Being the cool mom because I play the car radio loud.
Kelsey talking all the way home about how funny the movie was, filling us in on what we missed.

Lots of text msgs from Dis today that made me laugh and let me know he was thinking of me, he's so sweet :) Another enjoyable conversation with him on the phone last night. (Alaska's four hours behind us and because of his job in the Army he can't call until midnight our time, which is perfect for me :)

My friends all being busy tomorrow, which gives me the reason I was looking for to stay close to home.

Hearing about my sister's plans to spend Saturday night together playing cards. Awe, that's sweet.

Getting invited to Stephanie's birthday bash on Saturday. Dinner at Logan's and then .....with us, anything can happen :)

Looking forward to going to work tomorrow.

P E R F E C T weather!!!!!!!

Good things happening for the people I love.

you my little ball o' sunshine, you :)
