A Beautiful Life: April 2013

How time passes quickly! We have been so busy the past couple months. Grayson's little mister party was a total blast! It was so much fun, and loved how everything came together! It was such a wonderful celebration! In March we ventured out to California, and it was so much fun! The plane ride there was adventurous, as we were delayed for several hours in Texas, shock! But Grayson was the most amazing child, we were quite impressed! He was happily waving and blowing kisses to everyone he met! He was spreading joy to all he came across. California was early mornings---4am thanks G and early to bed. It was wonderful time to visit with my precious family that we miss so much! Grayson got to go to the beach for the first time. He loved the sand--wasn't so sure about it at first... and we walked out to touch the waves. We loved visiting with his Great Grandparents every day, trying on new hats and playing with the much loved broom! I know Andrew had a blast skiing, as I got to have some fun girl time! Loved every minute of it! We loved it so much, Grayson and I are going back in July! Can't wait!
April! Well, where to start? This month started out with a bang, literally! I was on my way to work, and I decided to turn around to go back for something. As I was turning around, BANG! I hit a mailbox, and of course I hit it just right! It put a dent in my tail gate and shattered my back glass. At first I was like, what just happened, then I started to cry, thinking how stupid I was. Did I really just do that? What in the world. I know accidents happen, but lesson is --never turn around for anything--too bad go without it---and always look around you. LOL! Then, we were without a car for a week--so my chaffer Andrew, who is quite adorable, picked me up from school and toted me around! He loved it, I know! After all that, our fridge breaks down and we have to get a part replaced! Thank the Lord, we had magical helpers and were able to get an appliance man to come fix it that day! While that is happening Andrew gets a stomach bug, fun! Then the next day, we have lovely plumbing problems, and I'll leave that up to your imagination! It all ends with a rash that is on Grayson's face--and we had to go to the Dr. to get a cream and a note to return to school. PHEW! I'm exhausted even typing this! Well, all that to say I have been laughing though this, and in our circumstances we have to find the joy! Love to all, and whatever you may be facing, I hope you can find the joy and laughter in all your circumstances!
