Simply put, I feel like I am back to happiness. Our hectic summer is over. Its not that I terribly mind hectic moments in life - it's just that I like to pick and choose my particular versions of hectic. This summer sort of put a leash around Ryan and me and made us run just to keep up without being strangled. That said,
We just had the most lovely weekend. And yet, I cannot explain what made it so lovely.
Maybe it was our romantic date on Friday night. Maybe it was our sleep-in on Saturday. Maybe it was Ryan and I each holding one of Eva's hands as she wonderously thought big thoughts about the fish in the big tank at the aquarium. Maybe it was being surrounded by family and friends at our craziest Sunday Breakfast yet! Maybe it was simply the rain.
Oh how I love the rain. It makes me love our home all the more. We took a nap on Sunday evening together and when Ryan asked me to get up and join him in the living room, i asked him, "Can I wear the bed?" That is what rain does to me. It seduces me into a love affair with all things bed - fluffy footie socks, big down comforters, soft sheets, fuzzy blankets, baggy sweatshirts, and Ryan's fleece sweat pants (much to his shugrin).
All in all, I feel like I have returned to my previous state of happiness. How funny that it should come with the damp rain, the school year and bed-times - my how things change.
Happy October, Seattle. Welcome Fall!

Ryan is so lucky to have your silliness in his life.
I miss our days at Cherry Hill! You were so much fun to live with - just a nonstop riot of one liners. Lucky for me, I now live with Mr. Goofy himself. But I have the best memories of being housemates with you!
