Marry Me.

Marry Me. Let's dance barefoot around our kitchen. In the middle of cooking dinner. For no reason at all. Marry Me. We can drink wine while sitting at our kitchen table. After dinner. While laughing about using a drill as a corkscrew. Marry Me. We can go on breakfast runs in our pajamas. Marry Me. Evening naps in the hammock are always a good idea. Marry Me. Catching Lightning bugs is more fun with someone else. Marry Me. We'll spend nights playing Mario Kart as a family. Marry Me. Life's adventures are better with you. Marry Me. I'll laugh about your packing for vacation a week and a 1/2 early but secretly i'll be glad that you are doing it.

Favorite Things {10}

It's been a while since I've written one of these posts. I still think about what I'm thankful for daily but I haven't written it down lately. I feel like I need to now. I've had a heavy heart these last few days. I feel like I'm falling short in the fiancée/mom department lately but enough about that. Let's focus on the happy.

✦My son. He's the light of my life.

✦My wonderful, amazing, hard working fiancé.

✦Vacation that is just under a month away.

✦My parents. They're the best.

✦All the time my finace, son and I spent together in the evenings last week.

✦Summer break.

✦Sleeping in.

✦Rainy days.

✦God.

✦Days when I can sit on the couch with my lap top and do nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Sunshine in my Soul

It's a cloudy, on the verge of stormy day today. Usually I want to snuggle on the couch on days like this but Dylan wanted to swim so I went out to watch him and it was good for my soul. That boy can make me laugh. He's full of spunk and pure silliness. He was dancing around the pool, singing and being goofy.

It reminded me that it's good to step outside, get some fresh air and break routine sometimes. I feel refreshed, energized and ready to take on what may come. I love that kid. I thank God for giving him to me. He's the balance that I need in life a lot of times.
