This past weekend was... nice. I was able to accomplish many things. I was able to surround myself with wonderful people. I was able to look inward and learn more about myself. Quick recap:
LOVE: When cutting up these veggies, Joel asked if he could eat some tomatoes and cucumbers. I told him they were for a church dinner. His response, "Jesus cucumbers. Jesus tomatoes". I love that he associates Jesus with church, even if his comment is a little off. Love his innocence.
DO NOT LOVE: Cutting up 4 pints of grape tomatoes that are the size of dimes. Nor cutting up onions; they made me cry.
LOVE: Cleaning my house on a regular basis. May sound strange that I love doing this, but I am a neat freak and NEED my house to be orderly. I feel so accomplished afterward.
DO NOT LOVE: Having to use the bathroom RIGHT after scrubbing the toilet. Weird, but it irritates me when I have to use the toilet I
just cleaned
(and may rub it down with a lysol wipe after).
LOVE: Being able to get out and walk with people that I dearly care for. Love that things fell perfectly into place to give me the chance to participate. LOVE that I got to spend some quality time with my friend Amy.
DO NOT LOVE:
Why I had the opportunity to participate in this event; the circumstances surrounding this event are heartbreaking.
LOVE: Coming home to see my little crazies with their noses pressed against the glass, smiles on their faces. Love that they light up when they see me after I have been away.
DO NOT LOVE: The fact that I have not cleaned that window for about 2 years and will not be able to clean it for many more to come; they are always dirtying it up.
LOVE: Being able to go to the temple for dear friends, especially dear friends that are like family. Love that her entire family considers me an adopted family member. Love her colors, love her style.
DO NOT LOVE: That I can't continuously plan my own wedding; that MY day has come and gone
(but I do love my marriage).
LOVE: Swings. Period.
DO NOT LOVE: That I am an adult and cannot always be carefree nor can I always act like a child.
LOVE: Cherries, the color red, and sweet treats. That made this dessert extra delicious. Love that my mom found a new gluten-free recipe to try out for me.
DO NOT LOVE: That I cannot just eat a ginormous piece of cherry cheesecake or cherry pie or, well, nearly any dessert.
I try to remind myself that I am skinnier and healthier for it...
LOVE: That my boys enjoy coloring and art. Love that they show interest in something that I have a passion for. And I love that they keep the crayons on the paper.
DO NOT LOVE: Lucas eats crayons. Ugh.
