I Could Not Ask For More

Today I am just feeling so grateful and so blessed!  Brooks and I just got back from our morning walk.  That seems to be my "alone" time now!  That is when all of my thinking gets done.  It all started when I passed by the school and heard the bell ring FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!  That's the first time in 9 years that I have heard a school bell from the OUTSIDE of the building.  Then this beautiful breeze caught me and I looked down to see Brooks' reaction, but he was sound asleep with his chubby little feet and toes just dangling out the bottom of the stroller.  It was then that I realized that I am right where I want to be.  Even with being away from the large majority of our family and friends.  Even with knowing that it is only a matter of time before the blizzards begin.  Even though I miss my momma like crazy.  Even though I have come to the realization that we will never be rich, or for that matter, may never actually pay off those student loans.  Even with all of these things, I am right where I wanna be.  And truly, I could not ask for more.

We are really getting used to this small town living.  Brooks and I have started going to a play group on Thursdays and are meeting lots of new friends.  Dave and I have also met some wonderful new friends that we enjoy spending time with.  I have started doing medical transcribing for a few hours every day from the house.  Dave is loving his job!  Seriously, we could not ask for more!!!

Little Brooks is 4 months old now!  He is such a happy little boy!  (Except for yesterday, when he had a nasty reaction to his shots).  He is smiling, laughing, and filling our hearts with complete joy every day!  And oh yea - he has slept through the night 3 nights in a row!!!  But who's counting, right?
