Remember when I said I have some really awesome family? Well, I really do. In fact, I have more examples.
Sunday I was completely wiped out after work. Man called and asked me to stop at the grocery store on my way home to pick up a few last minute things for dinner. I got home and he had things almost completely ready and was just waiting on my few items...which, of course, I got wrong. Instead of getting frustrated that he put so much work into something I screwed up, Man totally rolled with it and made my mistakes work. And we had an amazing dinner! It was really awesome to come home to yummy smells and happy faces around the table!
Monday Man tromped through pastures, ducked into corn fields, climbed a semi and sat on farm equipment all in the sweltering heat so I could have the engagement shoot I've always wanted down at Dad's farm. Yes, we did get engaged in January, and yes we did just get our engagement pictures done in July, but time kind of got away from us, deal with it. Additionally, an old friend from high school gave up an evening with her family and joined us in that sweltering heat at 7 months pregnant to take the pictures for us!
Wednesday BBS and I took 9 kids from 4 different families to the zoo. We had BBS's 2 little ones (the 3 older ones are on vacation with our parents), Man's 3, the 3 kids BBS babysits and BBS's niece, ranging in age from 10 months to 11 years. We sweat, we got rained on, we had an awesome time. We fully acknowledge that we're crazy for taking so many kids, especially with only 2 adults, but there's no one else I would have rathered do it with!
Life may not be perfect, but I'm not sure how it could get much better!
