Check...

Tuesday To-Do List-CHECK!
Not only did I conquer my list - but I'm not going to lie to you, I really outdid myself. ;)

This weekend I get to go home, and I couldn't be more excited. I wish Dylan could come with me, but I know he'll enjoy a fridge full of homemade leftovers to indulge in to feel like I've cooked for him, and some quiet time without me and Piper. I will miss him so much, but missing him makes me that much more excited to see him. So I guess it's not such a bad thing!

My grandparents came into town today, and as I type are sleeping soundly in the other room. I'm really blessed to have such a close knit family, that I know would do anything for me, as I would do for them. I hope Dylan and I can be the same kind of influence on our grandchildren that they have been on the two of us. I will never get sick of hearing them tell a story, and not be able to complete it without the other one helping them fill in the holes that they have forgotten. That's what 51 years of marriage will do to you. They are truly wonderful.

Only 2 more days!!...

On Wednesday, these two will arrive! I love them both so much. My wonderful, Gma and Gpa. :)
They celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary last December! I love them both dearly, and they are coming all the way to Texas to spend the night with us, and take me back to Oklahoma with them for my best friends wedding shower this weekend. I can hardly wait. The only thing that could make this trip better, would be if Dylan could come with us. But, being the hardworking man he is, he is going to stay here and keep working for our little family. How did I get so lucky?! Lot's to be done before Wednesday, I'd better get back to our laundry! Happy Sunday!

My Little Family...

It's days like today that I am all the more thankful for these two. I love Dylan's off days. I especially love when his off days really are just that, lazy days where we can hang out and enjoy each other. It's no surprise that Piper is a cuddle bug, but it makes my heart smile to no end when I catch them cuddling, just like this.

I love my three person family.

The Little Things...

Let me give you the play by play on what just occurred...

It was about 9:52 p.m.
I took Piper on our nightly walk to go check our mail box.
(Although tonight, it's a blizzard, so we ran.)
Anyway, we check the mailbox, and with my freezing fingers, I manage to get it open.
I looked inside and I saw two letters addressed to "Agnesia Norton"... who by the way, fills up about half of our mailbox, most days out of the week. Clearly I find this annoying.
Then with a closer look I spy a package.
(Now Dylan and I rarely get packages, but when we do, it's like Christmas!)
Only today's package came from my sister.
We ran back to the apartment and began to open it, and this is what we saw...
2 wrapped presents with a post it attached to it, that read:
"Sorry I am so late in getting these to you,
_____________________________________________
Merry Christmas
Happy Kwanza
Happy New Year
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Happy President's Day
Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Mardi Gras
I love you,
Julye."
And what might those two packages be, you might ask?
2 movies. One for Dylan, 1 for me.
I love my family.

Now that single handedly made my entire day, better. Tomorrow is a new day. Let's all be thankful for the little things.
