Good Things – Volume I

Being that it is Sunday, I thought I’d share some Good Things with all of you.

First, my Aunt Kathy sent me the link to this video. Kate Nowak did a stunning job and I cried happy tears watching it. Her blog is wonderful, too, so be sure to check her out!

A few days ago I wrote my “Anniversary Tribute” to Doug as we celebrated five glorious years of marriage on the 13th of October. We didn’t do anything special for the big day. Doug made BBQ Ribs and Shrimp for me Friday night and it was excellent. My gift to him was given on Saturday. No, it’s not what YOU’RE thinking so get your minds out of the bedroom. After work, I came home and Dawson was cranky so I turned on Public Television. Lawrence Welk was on and Dawson loves the music. It’s okay, he’s only two. But during one of Lawrence’s jived up orchestra tunes, I dragged Doug off the couch and made him foxtrot with me. Yes. You read that right. We did the fox trot in our living room and laughed hysterically the entire time. You know that’s love. Seriously, I’m still laughing because our “moves” caused uncontrollable giggling from Dawson, too.

Today we went to church and Dawson was well behaved for 20 minutes. This is a record breaker. Usually he’s a terror two minutes after blessing himself. When I got home I found this in my e-mail. I’m feeling pretty Blessed today. Then I found this.

It’s quiet in the house. Dawson is napping. I’m finishing this post and heading into my bed as well! I’ll leave you with the first commercial that has made me cry since I gave birth to Dawson. This hit me hard because in a few short weeks my brother will be coming home.

Happy Sunday!
