Ok I know most people don't want to read about how happy I am because that is not interesting and doesn't "grab" people's interests into my blog...but honestly I could care less because I am just so darn happy! (and yes I said darn...hanging out with kids all day will change your vocabulary).
So all this summer I am privileged to keep my two adorable nephews every day. Yes...they do have fights, yell, hit, pinch each other...and yes they yell at me, don't listen, throw things, wont eat what I tell them...but the bad only happens once in a while and the good happens more frequently. Like today we had three meltdowns before lunch, a time out for both boys but then after lunch we made slime! It was messy, green, sticky, and the boys loved it! After about 15 minutes they started to just mess it up even more so I said I would get the hose to clean off the porch...what they didn't know is that I planned to spray them too. :)
They loved it! They thought it was so funny that their Lala was breaking the rules and spraying them in their clothes! They laughed and ran around the yard for almost an hour! It was so funny to see how much joy they got out of a water hose and their Aunt spraying them in the face!
This made the fights, pinches, yelling, and melt downs all worth it. Seeing how sweet and funny they were made me happy as well. After I dried them off, they were walking inside and they both hugged me and said thanks Lala...you're crazy. :)
Their joy of simply being sprayed with a water hose reminded me of how easy it is
to find joy in anything you do.

This next one might seem weird to be happy about but just stick with me: So my man is out of town this week, well not really out of town, he is just in Nashville but still he is not here and I won't see him until Friday night...but regardless I am happy. Why you ask? Because I know however much I miss him, he miss me too! And the fact that I miss him so much reminds me how much I love him. I also get to spend time with our cat Gus all by myself, one day I will be his favorite :) but anyways...although I am sad, and fell alone when I am not with my man, I know I will be fine, because I know he loves me just as much as I love him and I know he misses me to. He is the cheese to my macaroni, the PB to my J, the milk to my shake...the point is we go together and a little time away helps me to remember just how lucky I am and how much I love him.
(Oh and also this past week was fabulous! I turned 22...and celebrated my year with my man. A great week with great people. I even got a snazzy new camera from my man)

I am very happy with everything that is going on right now.
I love my life and feel very happy and blessed to be me!

has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
