It Was a Good Day Because...

Randy is upstairs unloading the dishwasher as I type. I love that man.

Our homeowners insurance is replacing our entire hardwood floor (5 rooms!) due to a leaky fitting under the sink that damaged a small portion of it.

I had a professional clean my bathrooms and floors today. Ahhh, that was nice.

Ethan and I took our lunch to the waterfall and had a lovely picnic and nature walk.

Ethan picked a wildflower just for me.

Ethan found an acorn that he has decided a squirrel and chipmunk will share. He left it outside for them to find. *Note to self: move the acorn before tomorrow.

I realized that Hallie has made a 100 on every assignment in first grade so far.

During karate tonight, Hallie floored her dad (literally) after both the boys failed to do so. You go, girl!

Randy has decided to test Hallie and the Brashiers for yellow belt in a few weeks.

I unexpectedly met two friends in the coffee shop and had some unexpected adult conversation while Ethan drank his chocolate milk and ate his fruit.

I got a peach smoothie from Sonic. Yum!

While watching Ethan at soccer, I felt the first cool breeze of the season and was actually comfortable outside for the first time since April.

Tomorrow is Friday!!!

And last but not least, five years ago today Randy and I met on the great information highway we know as the internet via Yahoo instant messenger. They have been the most meaningful and happy years of my life.
