Happy and Busy

There are some days that I am so exhausted I'm not sure how I am going to make it one more! Then there are days that I am great! Today, I'm in between the two. Yesterday on my way home from work, I was so tired. Tired enough that I started to cry. I put in the CD I made for Brent for Valentine's day to get my mind off of being tired. And then I cried because I knew how lucky I was (and probably from being tired). I feel so incredibly blessed. There hasn't been a day that goes by in the last 6 months (well almost 6, 4 days short) that I haven't felt blessed. I don't want to write an overly mushy blog but I do want to say I feel lucky. Brent is still as nice to me as he was on our first date. He still opens my car door, he still rubs my feet every time we sit on the couch, he rubs my back just about every night, he wakes up every morning before I leave and walks me out to my car. When it's cold he starts my car, a lot of the time, he'll fix my lunch. He gently reassures me when I am stressed, he calms my crazy. I still get excited to see him everyday! I'm blessed. I know it's only been 6 months, but I still can't believe how happy I am!
Onto another note, Candice is in Jackson and I'm super excited to hang out with her tomorrow. I guess no matter how old you get, playing with your best friends is still so much fun! I got to see her for a little bit at Jamar (her brother)'s wedding reception but I haven't got to hang out with her. She's probably one of the most amazing people I know. She is not only beautiful and talented but genuinely a good person.
We've had a lot going on since the last time I blogged. We've been able to hang out with family. Amy and Michael and their family came for a week. It was so fun seeing them. Charity and I took a quick trip to Nashville. I had a work conference and she was nice enough to come with me. Riley was so cute in the pool.
We are still teaching those precious sunbeams and mostly loving it. Brent being the fantastic husband that he is has even started helping with the lessons. Most of our class prefers him over me. I caught a bug and was sick for a few days. Bleh, it was no fun! It zapped my energy for a while.
We are really excited for this summer. I'm planning on going to New Jersey to visit Michael, Amy and family. I hope it works out where I can. Brent's parents are coming to visit us in July! It should be lots of fun even if it will be miserably hot. I think we will tour Sun Studios. I hear it is really fun and maybe even get to go to Graceland. But mostly I think we will stay indoors where the sun won't fry us. I'm excited to get to know them better. We've only been around each other at very stressful times ie the wedding and Christmas. I'm also excited for them to get to know me. Hopefully they leave still thinking Brent made a wise decision. And who knows, maybe they will fall madly in love with TN.....I said maybe.
