I want to remember all of it, the good and the bad, because this is my life and I love my life.
For us, the weekend starts on Friday evenings when Sean is off work. This particular Friday we decided to meet for dinner after Sean got off work. Not a huge rarity for us (we eat out about once a week) bust still something fun and special to do, especially for me since it means I don't have to cook and there is no kitchen clean up!
Saturday morning we went to our favorite pumpkin patch to enjoy the crisp fall weather, go on a hay ride, visit the animals, play on tractors, run through the leaves and pick out a perfect pumpkin. Later that day, after Declan had his nap, he and I went on a date to the kids discovery museum, KidTime! We had a blast. It was so special for me to do something one on one with him, out of the house, for the first time since Inara has been born.
Sunday morning we went to church, which was awesome as always, then took Declan to see a fire truck (our church is right across the street from a fire station), went to the Rail Road park to ride on trains, and then carved our pumpkin. We also had a spontaneous family dance party in our living room which was probably one of the sweetest things that has happened...ever.
So, as I was standing in my kitchen, washing dishes, and day dreaming about my wonderful life, I thought, "I have an amazing life. I have an amazing life parter, beautiful, healthy children, opportunity and blessings galore...This is my life. This is MY life"
It is what I always dreamed it would be.
