Down time? What is down time? Well recently since Brady has begun to walk, and we now have a playground in our backyard, with the weather at a beautiful 73 degrees I can actually sit on my couch, laptop in lap, glass sliding door wide open as my kids play outside.
My house is in shambles with toys everywhere, yet blogging these memories is far more important. I picked up McKenzie from school as I toted around Brady and my neice Tatum whom Im watching for the day while Natalie visits her brother. Jake is working, so here I sit with 3 kids, and a big pregnant belly. It is fun how these 3 kids interact with eachother, unusually easy. I really hope this is how life turns out for me when the 3 kids belong to me!
I was changing Brady's stinky butt (TMI?) as I could hear the 2 girls giggling outside playing princesses. Even with Brady trying to roll off the changing table as usual, I couldn't help but think where I was in life.
The other night Jake and I stayed up talking about the past, this June will be 10 years since him and I began dating. Back when I was only 15, since then he served a mission, got his fire science degree became a firefighter and a father 2 1/2 times over. Then there is me, I graduated high school, moved to Utah where I went to school, married Jake, became a mother of 2 1/2 and am now standing here changing my sons diaper. Where has the time gone? It is 2011! Only 4 years away from the date Marty Mcfly traveled to in Back to the Future II, a favorite movie of mine. I didn't think the day would arrive so quickly.
Altough life brings challanges, and heartache, standing here changing a stinky diaper, huge miserable and pregnant with a wonderful husband, 2 great children, and my wonderful home, I may be lazy, and disfunctional at times, and complain about my money, health ETC but I am truly Happy. There is NO place I would rather be, then here. NOW.
I am blessed.
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
