Whew…no wonder I feel old this week   Yesterday was my day.  Nothing extraordinary happened.  Just a regular day at our house with the people I love the most.  A friend treated me to lunch.  We got quite the stares with the out-to-lunch-business crowd when we walked into Mi Ranchito with 2 toddler boys and 3 little girls…and we didn’t even have the school girls with us!  Another sweet friend brought by a handmade chocolate cake and card.  I pampered myself to a haircut.  And when I got home I had these expertly crafted gems waiting for me!

I don’t need a parade…or a big fuss.  Just a simple day with the people who already make my life SO FULL!  I have loved my 30’s.  Love that I know who I am.  Love that I have a house full of littles that call me mom and a husband who is thoroughly enjoying this journey called life right alongside me.  Those 12,750 days have been more good than bad….and for that I am SO thankful.  I’m thankful for the “I love you”s and the simple gestures of love and friendship.  Mr. P got these flowers for me…pretty sweet, huh?  I love that he planned ahead and brought them home from work without even being late.  I’m so thankful for the 4910 days that he has been officially mine.

And I’m thankful that he is as excited as I am about this next chapter in our life.  A change of perspective…our family is SO full of blessings!

That’s our homestudy packet that is nearing completion!  Just waiting on one reference form, a birth certificate, and our criminal checks to be processed.  One step closer to meeting the newest member of our family!

12,750 days.  Life is grand.
