The Daily Grind

So much of what we do day in and out is exhausting... Some times you have to think hard to find the beauty of life - especially after almost a solid month of rain - which is not typical of Utah.   But despite the gray skies and difficulty getting my garden planted, I am grateful for the cold temperatures that mean melting snow won't flood the valleys, that we will have the water we need and that the summer forest fires of recent past, may not be seen this coming year.

We are experiencing the final days of the school year.  In another week, I will have more adult children graduated from high school than still at home.  I will also only have 4 more years of schooling before we are empty nesters.

I was listening to Trace Adkins:  "You're going to miss this"  yesterday.  Made me cry - because it's so true and as I gear up for graduation events for Kenzi, and listen to Chalyse share her excitement at being newly married in her new home and thinking of future babies, it really hits home.

We have mani-pedi's scheduled for we girls tomorrow and I hope a fun day with family and friends.  Hoping lots of friends!

Family!
