Today is my bf's birthday, Terri... I am so thankful for her friendship. Without her I don't know how much I would have learned in grad school....

scrambled eggs and tomatoes from my garden...

love from little boys ... and explainations for things I think are gross when we watch movies..."Don't worry mom, that is just jello..."

Another day to live and breathe and love....

that we are making an offer on our dream home... by the ocean with enough room for all of us...

I am holding my breath and I am so thankful we can do it....

And for Tommy who just was playing with a red felt pen trying his hand at drawing... and who is now sitting beside me leaning on my arm....

For a few more days of summer with the boys... I really do not want them to go back to school...

For Alex, who yesterday, when the boys ran up ahead of me, came back, took my hand and said, "I'll walk with you Mama, and I don't want to lose you ya know."

I had another interview...I am grateful now that I have had so many interviews that this last one I started my shower 20 minutes before I had to be there, and I still made it on time...I am grateful I feel that comfortable because interview #one I was there 2 hours before and studied for it the whole time...and now at #upteen million and one ...I am okay with me and interviews and realize the less uptight during the interview i am, the better it'll be...

Just wish that one place I really want to work would give me a call. I can put that out there, but in the meantime...

I am grateful for my little ones who make me laugh and smile...

and for our loan officer who actually made it happen for us in the US...

and for a few options....I have been praying they will work out...

and for good friends...I have been feeling really lonely lately... so thank you for the few good friends i have...

and for summer... I wish it would never end...

and for living 2 hours away from the ocean.

We went away for a day to another country. I thought to myself, How could it possibly be so different, it is only about 10 miles from Canada. It was....

and I am gratful for the deep feeling of joy I always feel when I go over the Canadian border and I am home....
