Feeling grateful.

I try to be humble and grateful for all the fruits in my life. The many blessings that have been bestowed on me are mountains high. Today I am feeling especially special.



Last night we had dinner, drinks, and a movie with Lashelle and Aaron. Despite Aaron's newly accuired title of "Law Enforcement Officer" for the forestry service, we had a really good time. I'm gonna miss those two. I only wish our new "couples" friendship had been founded sooner. But all things have their reasons. We will surely be out to visit them in Cali soon enough. I will stick to my plan for a girls weekend in San Francisco for Lashelle's birthday in May. The boys want to tag along, and we may just have to do that if I can find someone crazy enough to take all three of my kiddos for 3 or 4 days.



Having Lashelle move is all too bitter sweet. Yes I do want my house back. It's been fun but I want Miriam in her own room again. I want to paint it frilly girl colors and put all her toys away. But that in turn means my bestfriend will be moving much further away. Seeing her so regularly, sometimes daily has spoiled me. We truly have an odd relationship as friends go, it's like Yin and Yang I suppose. Even our spouses are so different, yet seem to have a good time together. This year will truly be the start of something entirely new for me yet again. I will no doubt struggle at times, but look forward to the forced growth. I am really excited for them. Envy really. To get to move someplace entirely new. Setting off on an adventure like that with Jer and our little clan. I would love to move out of Arizona! New places and people. But alas our place is here.

So beyond the tears I will be wishing them all the best. Besides, having a vacation spot in Northern California ain't so bad.
