Just enjoying

Have you ever had one of those days where you just realize that you are really enjoying your life? Today was that day for me. A couple of weeks ago I thought that things were just horrible and happiness as I knew it was all gone. Through a lot of prayer and my family we got through that horrible time. We are so blessed. I am so thankful that I have so many things that I am blessed with. I am blessed with a husband that I love so much. He has been home for the past week and we have really had a good time just being together. We don't get that very much. Both of us work full time and obviously having four kids keeps us very busy. Scott got up around 5 yesterday morning and went and got us a new Christmas tree since ours was destroyed in our flood last spring. He wanted me to go with him but he totally understood that I didn't want to go because Addy is fighting a cold and I was afraid to leave Jarika with her so early in the morning (when I knew she would be totally out of it) by herself. So my wonderful hubby went out in the crazy shopping day and bought me a new tree, just like I wanted! It was only forty bucks too! He also had saved up a ton of free Red Box coupons for free DVD rentals and he went yesterday and brought home like nine DVDs. He knew I really wanted to see Mamma Mia but the Red Box shut down and he wasn't able to get it. No big deal, I watched Wall-E, well I watched most of Wall-E then I dozed off. I never do that, I must have really been tired! This morning he had to go and return the DVDs and he came home with Mamma Mia for me! I was so excited. Jarika and I watched it twice today, we loved it! We had seen the Broadway show and loved it so we knew we would like the movie and we did. Addy LOVED the music! She was so cute "dancing" to the music. She would just rock and rock, it was adorable! Scott worked on the 2009 budget most of the afternoon and that is looking awesome, so that is a huge blessing! I am looking forward to having another week to just be at home and being a wife and mother, January 5th is going to come too soon so I'm going to enjoy it while I can!
