today is a good day.
the grass is green. the sun is shining. the breeze is whispering.
last night my main squeeze came home with beautiful spring flowers for me, after working another 10 hour day. how am i so lucky? after dinner he took me to see 1 day old baby lambies and then kissed me goodnight as he headed to play bball at 10 as i was heading to bed. this guy doesn't stop. i love him. i love how hard he works and how much he makes me laugh. i get to play golf with this handsome dude tonight, and there is nothing i love more than to watch his smile after he crushes his drives 360 yards straight down the fairway.
i woke up to the news of my brand new baby nephew, born this morning. a healthy 9 lbs and 21 inches. chubby as can be. i can't wait to snuggle him and kiss those fat cheeks in a few more days. i love my family. period.
boss surprised me with a call around lunchtime saying he was coming over trappers loop. we went off to get lunch and farr's ice cream followed by a trip to sportsmans warehouse to get a buoy for jack and 270 clay pigeons. i love my dad. it seems appropriate that this new little baby be named after this wonderful guy.
we got to go to the cabin, just us, last weekend. we rode bikes down the red rock river valley, hauled pipe, ate fried green beans at slackers, rode horses and fished all in 24 hours. no one has more energy or fun than my dad. he is understated, generous, funny, good. i can't think of a better dad.
after that i jumped on my bike and rode all around my neighorhood. sun kissing my face, jack nipping at my heels. i love that dog. biking is only way now that i can release some of his good old fashioned lab energy. we rode down to silver lake and fetched with his new buoy. i need to bridle some of the energy and be as excited about life as he is.
speaking of jack, he has a new friend, JILL. i almost hit a lop-eared bunny a few nights ago and brought it home. she is the cutest and snuggliest little thing. jack sits in front of her cage and whines. it is so funny.
anyways, i am looking out my window at the mountains and green fields bowing to the breeze, overflowing with gratitude for my life, my family and my Lord.
