Life is good.
The other night as I was biking to a friends house in the cool crisp air, my backpack stuffed with yarn and knitting needles, I thought “I have a really good life!”
Some other things that are making me smile…
* The dark brown walls in my home are turning a light gray today (oh how happy I am about that)
* Singing with Hannah ( we are participating in a round singing group)
* The sun that has been shining bright for over a week now
* I have started to make holiday gifts
* Hannah and Chris have started archery together and love it
* Norah has become more independent. I love her personality. She’s a really neat kid. She is full of life! (although she has been stealing things from stores lately and trying out some new not so appropriate language) sigh… oh my
* My job is amazing. One of my favorite things about it is I go into schools each week and expose young people to what foods are in season and then turn it into a snack. so fun.
* Chris is also so happy with his job. He often says he can’t believe he gets paid to do what he does, teach young people about woodworking, rocketry, and the wilderness… what could be better. And our girls get to participate in it too
Like I said life is good!

    I loved learning these little bits about your life. It’s so awesome to be living what you love and to know that it’s so, and be able to appreciate it fully, isn’t it? And thank you for the reminder too : )
