Lucky

Last week, the bedskirt that I had ordered in May finally arrived. It had been backordered for four months and I was so excited to finally put it on my bed so that it matched the duvet/shams/quilt that were waiting. I opened the package and laid it out and found that it had a hole that made it unusable. After calling the company and clearing things up, I thought that I am rather unlucky in the little things--flights delayed, rainy days when I need sun, stores out of my size, never winning store give-a-ways. But I also realized that I am lucky in the big things that really count...


I'm going to post an early happy birthday to Paul today because tomorrow Halle and I are accompanying him out to Utah where he will run his 2nd marathon in 3 weeks! Paul is an amazing husband and father--those of you who know him wouldn't expect anything less, right! He consistently puts us above his own needs and we are so blessed to have him. He has taken on extra responsibility in his work load (which seems to happen every year!) and although we see less of him, we know that we are uppermost in his priorities. It is for us that he works so hard and long and for us that he sacrifices a lot of his own free time. He knows when he walks in the door, that I will be turning all three kids over to him and he willingly plays Wii, Uno, Legos, dolls, football, and anything else the kids want because as he says, "it's all about them."
So happy 33rd to a wonderful man who made me the luckiest girl in the world!
