Easter Fun






Today I'm grateful for....

Family.

All the women in my family stick together, we look out for each other, we make sure everyone is included and no one gets left out.

Lots of fun watching all the kids enjoy easter. We had all the big kids take a little kid as a partner and help them with the hunt, they had a blast. When the little kids were done with their hunt, it was time for the big kids to try their luck at finding eggs. Josh, Billy, Tracie and I hid eggs, in bird houses, in the ground, in the sand box, in the smoker, all the hard places we could think of. Each group had 108 eggs to find and as far as we know all were found.

I'm grateful for dad's news about returning to work next week, and his news about Barb possibly returning home today. He's a better man when she's home.

Knowing that Josh's cousin Cory will get his feelings straightened out and make the best decision for him and his family.

Looking forward to all the fun we'll have this summer on the new/used river boat I bought!

A boyfriend who is loving, kind, sensitive, intelligent, strong, and knows how to do all kinds of stuff. He is so resourceful!

Josh started his new job today, one he will love, with better pay, little drama, and a more regular schedule.

Making the girls clear out their clutter!!! A jeep full of stuff for goodwill sorted from the girls bedrooms, and thank goodness today is trash day, cuz we had a bunch!

Keeping only what we love, and what is necessary.

Getting the guest room set up for Calli so she'll have a place of her own to sleep when she comes to stay.

The tree line that I look out on every day, it calms me, keeps me grounded.

Hearing that Kelsey's Japanese class has decided to go for the class trip to Japan next year and has started plans for fund raisers.

All of Taylor's singing and practising for her lead role in the upcoming musical.

The full moon on Saturday night.

Good things are happening for the people I love.

You my little colored egg, you.
