It was just one of those days.

After having a wonderful weekend of friends, family and adorable kids, I was already feeling pretty darn lucky. I realized how many people love and care about us, and are here to share in our happiness. I realized that as I've suspected, I am so very, very blessed. -To all of you, my sincerest gratitude, respect and love. It's a wonderful feeling knowing that I have such awesome people in my life and even more importantly, in the lives of my children. I love knowing that they will have the influences of such interesting and dynamic people. I can only imagine the depth of character they will gain from all you sweet, nutty people.

So then, this morning, we got some news that made me come crashing back to earth like a Titan rocket. Another couple we know, are going through hell right now. They are living my worst fears. I can't help them. I can't even be there for them. All I can do is pray and hope and hug my husband and daughter and count my blessings.

Life is just crazy like that. You are going along, maybe thinking about what you're going to have for dinner, maybe planning a grocery list in your head or thinking about that bitch who can't stand, you know, the one who shouldn't be wearing that skirt... and then poof... none of it matters. Your life is about getting through that minute, that second and all you can think about is how you took it all for granted.

I want to remember not to take it for granted.

I want to cherish every day, every minute.

I want to live as much as I possibly can in every second and every square inch of my life.

I wrote this, hoping that it will remind me, just how lucky I am.

It's been awhile, huh? I keep thinking I should be blogging, that I should have something to write about. I just really haven't had much to say.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant. All is fine. Ready to have this kid. -That's about all.
