a long time comin'

Finally the day came where I got to meet my Cole and Reid Woods! I also got to see my best friend (and her husband too), who I haven't seen in nearly 2 years! Like I said, its been a long time coming!

I was so happy to see everyone, and we had a great afternoon playing around the apartment and then going out for dinner.  Oh yeah there was that really fun part where Cole screamed bloody murder and my heart fell to my floor as I took out some stitches from his chin. Chocolate pudding cured everything though.

Can't wait to see the brood again!

Love you bestie and your kids aren't bad either!

Something to think about...

I saw this saying on a blog I follow and couldn't help but share it.

So often we go through our days, weeks, months with blinders on.  Only focusing on number one and sometimes, maybe too often not taking time to think about those around us and what they are going through.  Not telling our friends, family and loved ones we care about them, find them important and love them. 

My job is normal to me and I sometimes forget that what the people I care for and their families are going through is a BIG deal, a life and death deal, and I sometimes brush off what they are going through as "normal" and "to be expected after surgery" without thinking what they are going through.  Even though I was in that same place at one point.

So when I saw this it made me stop and think.  It reminded me that I need to take time everyday and be thankful for what I have and what I have to come, to be there to support my friends and family through everything and above all be appreciative of the love and support that surrounds me and has for a long time.
