I went for a run for the first time today in my new surroundings. It was a nice evening for it. As I was running around the pond, I ran right past two geese with their babies. I took a picture with my phone. I love nature and that was quite a treat.
We didn't get a lot of unpacking done today, but, there's nothing we can do about that now. I have realized today that my awesome daughter is one of the most courageous people I know. She really is extraordinary.
FINALLY, we were able to skype tonight. We saw my sister, her husband and son, and my mom...over the computer screen, of course. I must say...it was very emotional. We couldn't wait to see them! We waited for it all day long! It was the first thing my son asked for this morning when he woke up because he knew the cableman was coming!
I enjoyed every second of our skype session; however, a piece of my heart was saddened by it. The boys were laughing and goofing off and acting silly together, but they would have much rather ran off and played. They were both sad when it was time to get off of the computer. Talk about heartbreaking! They will all be here to visit us in five short weeks. I don't thing I've ever been so excited about anything in my entire life. To see my son and his cousin, his best friend, reunite, will be a beautiful thing.
Tomorrow we are going to a local farmer's market, then to the library to sign our son up for the summer reading program. Then, it is more unpacking...it has to get done...it's brutal.
Family is such a treasure. I encourage any of you who are not close to your family....your parents, children, siblings, nieces and nephews, to make getting to know them a priority. Love them. Cherish them. Don't ever let simple quarrels, disagreements, etc...get in the way of relationships. Forgive.
I thank God every day for choosing my family for me. What a blessing! There is no better gift.
So true!
