The First Day of the Rest of My Life

This, my friends, is in fact one of the happiest days of my life. After I wake up next to the love of my life, I'll spend the day at the best job in the whole wide world, working with the best friends a girl could ever ask for, and after an amazing day at work and a lovely evening at home at an hour of the night when I would usually have been asleep for at least an hour, my happy self will bebop down to the Portland International Airport to pick up my mom and son for a Christmas visit from Oklahoma.

It's probably been about a year and a half since I've seen either of them. I am truly one of the luckiest people in the world simply because I have so many loves in my life. I have my wife. My mom and my son. I have the most amazing a new puppy coming home soon. I have the best friends in the whole world. I have Goodnesses in my life. I am surrounded by love and tomorrow I get to see the person that birthed me and the person I birthed.

I am so lucky to have such amazing love for and from these two people in my life. I know a great many people that have very challenging relationships with their parents and/or their children. I am lucky and I know it.

I am not trying to brag or be boastful, I am simply appreciating the gifts I have been given.
