Countin my blessins....

I woke up early this morning and ran 6 miles then stopped off at the Y for a spin class!
I feel great....

April fools

I stayed in bed until 7:30 finishing up the book I started last month for book club "Molokai"
I'm so glad I stuck with this book although at times I found it labor some because it turned out to be such a rich story of strength and love. Ruth was such an amazing lady and the characters were weaved so perfectly and became very real when you read the story. Steve often looked over and saw tears running down my face while I was reading. Not the happiest story but one of the more memorable ones for sure!

On Sundays I love to stop and think about all the blessings of my week and how much we have to be thankful for!
One of my favorite quotes lately is
"Never admire someones success , but admire their contentment"
I certainly don't have much but I am truly content and have more than I ever dreamed I would.......
So for all the little moments.....I say Thank You
Long talks on the phone with my boys
Hanging out all day Monday with Beckham
Seeing Ashlyn become such a sweet,patient mom
A text from Steve while I was at work that brought tears to my eyes
Bunco night fun with my sweet friends
The smell of bounce sheets
Neighbor kids who come by everyday to say Hi
And knowing my Greek family will be together next Sunday for Easter and then five more sleeps and Dave and his family will arrive!
Now...................for the BIG NEWS!!!

Our sweet nephew Kory got engaged yesterday!

So our family is growing even bigger! They will be coming to California for Sara's 30th birthday bash in two weeks and we can't wait to meet her and welcome her to the family. She loves Disney so he planned the whole thing out at Disney World in Florida ! Both families were there and I could hear the excitement in Dave and Sandy's voice when they called to share that it all went off perfectly
