beautiful day
It's been a beautiful day today. David is outside with the girls and Scooter talking with the neighbors. I'll head out there in a minute, I just thought I'd try to write something.

Today we celebrated our 15th anniversary and it was just nice to spend the day together and not work. We had talked about some big trip to mark the occasion, but too many things have been up in the air to plan anything. Maybe this summer. The funny thing is, today I don't even care. Trips are great but what is even better is that the day-in day-out routine of our lives makes me happy. I'm still amazed that I met David and somehow he loves me and I get to spend my life with him.

Time just gets weirder every year. The days go by so fast it makes your head spin. At least these days are good days.
