A little bit of everything

I guess I will start by saying that Shawn and I have now been married for TEN years as of today. It certainly hard to believe it has been so long as it does seem like just the other day that I packed up and moved out to live in Cleveland with Shawn and a random room mate and his dog named Vinnie that shed way too much!

Here we are 10 years, 2 houses, countless jobs and most importantly 3 kids later and still both very happy with one another (confirmed as of 5pm today).

So today we did a bit of everything:
We started the morning coloring some rocks to leave behind in the rock yard for Lucia and Tim. I was outside with the kids while they did this and saw three incidents that left me questioning the integrity of people and really what this world is coming to. So I was outside for all of 45 minutes and saw:
1. A man run a stop sign at the corner.
2. A car go by and throw trash out the window AND
3. A car stop at the stop sign, an elderly woman hop out and open and shut the tailgate (as if the driver instructed her to check it) and then the car sped off and left the lady! The lady went running down the street in her elderly way after the car, then the car stopped and a man hopped out and screamed at her and she got back in the car and it drove away. It was such a strange 45 minutes of time. As if I was being reminded of how truly lucky I am to be surrounded by good people who care for each other and the world around them. I know, I know ...random but totally needed to be blogged. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

First thing we did this morning was decorate rocks. Midmorning was spent on the bay at a new playground and watching people catch crabs.Then we went home for lunch and Myles enjoyed a long nap while Hudson and Molly did crafts. At 4pm we went to the ocean for a swim and to collect lots of jellyfish. We were home at 6pm for showers, dinner and sometime outside coloring rocks and talking to people as they passed by and watching Shawn weed the flower beds. Kids are now in bed. Shawn is sipping his beer and watching preseason football with a smile and I am about to grab myself a cocktail.


























Goodnight.
