Blessed

Life has been extremely different for me the last few days.

I'm up with the rising of the sun, showered and ready with my book bag packed, and out the door by 7:10 am.

I'm in a carpool...with adults.

I'm in classes from 8:30am to 3:15pm every day...my summer vacation is over.

I'm learning TONS of great and interesting things for the upcoming school year.

I come home exhausted, but in a good way.

I feel incredibly blessed!

I AM BLESSED because...

I have a husband who arranged his hectic schedule to be in town all week, insisted on making dinner  every.single.night. Listens to me, texts me, calls me, encourages me like no other person can. I always tell him and I always mean it when I say it...he is practically perfect. He just turned this many years :)

Emily is my on-call "go-to" person for nearly anything these days. I can talk to her for hours, she offers calming perspective, she is solid as a rock. Oh to possess such maturity and wisdom at her age!

Hilary is my right arm at home...dishes are done, laundry is folded, carpets are vacuumed, Julia doesn't feel abandoned, and she greets me with a sweet smile each evening when I walk in the door around 4:30. She is patient beyond her years.

Hannah is working tons of hours at the waterpark, running errands all over town for me, always happy and willing to talk, providing me with a good laugh.

Julia...I haven't blogged about her nearly enough! She finished tennis lessons, plays constantly in the neighborhood with kids of every age, babysits and loves it,  provides me with nonstop incredible ideas.
