Sunshine and Summertime

I've been listening to Doc Sommers Band a lot lately and came across this pic of me and Kelly with them. Anywho...

Matthew and I are going fishing tomorrow somewhere in Denver. I'm so excited because I haven't been fishing in a really long time. I even bought things to make sandwiches while we're there. One of his friends is home from college this weekend so tonight we're going over to her house to meet her. I love meeting all his friends and family. It's so exciting.

It's so nice outside today. Thankfully my kids don't have homework on Fridays so after they eat thir snack we will get to spend over an hour outside. I wish I didn't have to work and could just sit outside all day.

Mom and I sat on the front porch of our house a few days ago while Matt played catch with Dylan in the front yard. It brought back a lot of memories of sitting with my parents on that same porch eating ham sandwiches. Or just them sitting there and me in the yard climbing trees or something. It suddenly made me very sad that we're moving. I mean, that's the only house I've ever lived in. I knew I wouldn't live there forever but I always assumed that when I came home to see my mom it would be to that house. Now I'm packing up my whole life's memories and putting them in a tiny apartment. But my mom's excited about the move so I guess I need to stop being selfish and be happy for her. I think it all boils down to I wish that my daddy was still here so we could still afford that house and not ever have to give it up. I wish life was still the way it was a year and a hlaf ago and would always be that way. But That's selfish. I have a new life now and I need to accept that because that's what God wants for me.

Time to head to work. Hope everyone has a blessed day! xoxo jen*
