Day 56

Hello day 56, here are some happy moments from today:

• taking a very long nap...dreaming happy dreams like riding my horse again and picking up laundry baskets ALL by myself...happy dreams!
• Family dinner with leftovers...Mommy didn't have to cook and we spent some quality time eating all together as a family LOVE
• Finally, today we booked a couple night stay down in San Diego for November...just David and ME and we got some really great deals because WHO is going to stay at a hotel on the Monday before Thanksgiving?! WE ARE!  It will be right before my next possible surgery and Joel is out of school so it worked out to be the perfect week...I will be riding a vacation high all the way to Christmas my friends...SO looking forward to a little break!
• Finally, the whole gang watched an episode of Chopped, from the Food Network, tonight.  Such a great show and both kids love watching it!  Joel knows what a "reduction" and "kitchen fire" are from tonight's episode lol.  I love watching that show with my family because it really motivates everyone to want to cook more in my house...can't go wrong with that idea!

So small, happy, moments today, but I will take each one as it comes!  I am thankful for my little family and all of the giggles and happy times we share together.  Another emotional ride could always be just around the corner, but I have something so precious to hold on to when those times arrive...I will survive! :-)
