So...last night Todd arrived at Michael's pre-school at 6 pm to stand in the registration line that was to open at 8 am then next morning (today). We were the first family to arrive. I showed up to relieve him at 10pm so that he could go home and sleep, seeing that he had to work all day today. So there I was...for 10 hours, staring at the other parents as they arrived to stand in line. In years past, I was standing in line for concert tickets, or staying up all night working or partying (during my oh so wild years!) But alas, here I am at 30 years old, in line all night for nursery school registration. Interestingly enough, that is fine with me. It brings a smile to my face. Todd and I are so blessed that we appreciate our lives. Happiness is a very comfortable and relaxing state of being.

Amy's Running

2-8-06 1.33 miles=16:19
2-9-06 1.33 miles=15:46 2 miles=24:00 beautiful
2-12-06 1.33 miles=15:55 2 miles=24:01 cold, windy and muddy


I am thankful for...

1. God bestowing upon us a love for life, but a recognition that all of the blessings come from Him. He is so good to us.

2. Todd staying in line from 6-10 so that I could go to bible study.

3. the nice carpet cleaners who did a great job today. The carpets look super and we are both very pleased.

4. Michael being registered for pre-school next year. I have quickly come to recognize that the toddler years are not my strong point. I definitely need help and that is where pre-school comes in handy. We are so lucky that we have an awesome pre-school .6 miles away. YEAH!

5. the fantastic 2 mile run I had yesterday. It was cold, windy, muddy, and super hard....but I did it.

6. my neighbor welcoming Michael into her house while the cleaners were here. What a relief!

7. my mom, Nonie, and Howie saying they will come to babysit the boys while Todd and I go to Itlay this summer.

8. Michael and Daniel being so much fun.

9. Stella Artois beer.

10. NAPS!!!!!
