If you chance to meet a frown....

Lately I have been feeling a bit pessimistic. We all have days and even weeks like that right? Well, I decided to focus on some positive things, thus the two posts below. Even though I sometimes want to pull my hair out, a look at the blessings in my life can put things into perspective. I really don't have too much room to complain.

Hey Rachelle! It's true we all have those down times huh? I"m feeling lucky to be in an up time, trying to store it all in so that when another down time comes I"ll be ready! It's good you can recognize the good, sweet little things of every day. I love that I have the same favorite thing about my husband as you do- he can always make me laugh! It makes all the difference, doesn't it?
Also I totally agree with your definition of home, highwater pjs and all :) . Home is where you can dance around and play silly things with your kids, burst into song on a whim, and set your own schedule. i love reading stories together for a half hour whenever I feel like it, and teaching my kids to do chores with me and trying to make it fun. Home is where Eric and I get to practice having our own little kingdom and do the best we can together.
Hope you have a good day today and feel better (physically and emotionally) soon!

Hey, this may brighten you day a bit...my parents house in now under contract (in escrow) and they are supposed to be out by Nov. 31 and will be heading to sweet Boise...We are debating whether to come before the baby(Jan) and look for a job, or just after the baby is born (March) I will have to call you and get more info on the city.
