I don't know about you all, but sometimes I fail to enjoy the simple things in life because I focus on the drama.
My recent list of simple things:
1. Putting a puzzle together with my husband and kids
2. Going out for an ice cream cone and always knowing Jonathon won't finish it.
3. Staying up late watching a movie with my husband.
4. Grilling
5. Taking pictures
6. Sitting on the porch.
7. Seeing Jonathon try out his new skate board.
8 Running Erika all over town looking for those ridiculous" webkins".
9. Having dinner with family
10. Rootbeer floats from Sonic!!
I am fully convinced that God wants us to enjoy this life. I am thankful for a father that took a day off each week. I am very thankful for a husband that sees the need for making family memories.
This is the day which the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it!
Let me know some of your "simple things".
I know all too well that you may be in stage of life right now where things are hectic and stressful. Trust me, I know how it can be. NO! Don't trust me...TRUST HIM!!

Watching "What Not To Wear" with Nathan. :-)
Be honest, Meredith ... you'd enjoy what not to wear just as much with or without me there :-)
I was trying to be sweet! But, now that you pushed me to it: watching "what not to wear" anytime is great, regardless of the company. :-)
