I woke up today with a smile on my face. I slept so well and the day is beautiful. We haven't had our air on in a week. The windchimes are singing their beautiful tunes and the clouds are white and fluffy. David has the day off and we are planning a nature hike later. David also just became a manager at his own store. He is getting a really good raise and we are just so happy. We miss Taylor but we get to talk to her everyday. She likes school but she said that its boring. Its just a fabulous day and I am so blessed to share this with the fabulous people on covenspace. I love you all!!!!!

Just got home from the movies and dinner. Our friend came over and kidnapped me and David. It was nice hanging out with friends with no children. I think the last time that David and I went out was in February. It was fun and now I am super hyper. There is no way that I am going to go to sleep now. We saw Bangkok Dangerous. Its like a chic flick mixed with an action flick. I liked it the boys didn't. Anyway, it was a good night. Talk to you all later.

For those of you that don't know, I live in Kansas City, MO. Tuesday it was well over 90 degrees. Yesterday was the six year anniversary of my grandmother's death. The funny thing is is that she loved cool rainy days. Yesterday when I woke up I was freezing, but the air conditioner wasn't running. I get up and look outside and its rainy. I open up the windows and I am greeted by 53 degree weather. Just like the day she would love. The rain isn't coming down hard, its still raining today. Its just a nice pitter patter on the windows. I love this weather. It feels like a fall day. I hope that it stays.

Everytime around this year I think that it will be easier to deal with. It will go on like any other day and I will be alright. I will forget what type of anniversary it actually is and just get on with life. Then I remember when I heard the news. I remember saying good-bye to her and that it was alright for her to go, I knew that she was tired. I knew that she was holding on for me, but I didn't want her to suffer. It has been six years and it feels like it happened today. I never realized how much you can actually love one single person. I never realized just how much I loved her until I lost her. Even though its sad and I know that I will go on once this day has passed, it is still so surreal. I still wake-up some mornings thinking that it was all a dream and when I go out to my living room that she will be there. Sitting very prim and proper just like the lady that she was. With her cup of coffee in hand waiting to cease the day. She will look over the rim of her reading glasses, her nose out of the book she probably has already been reading for hours, and she will say "Good morning, cupcake." Once I am actually awake and I wander through out my small apartment I realize its only a dream that hasn't died with the rising of the sun, a straggler not ready to give my mind back to my body to proceed with the day. Even though after six years its a little tiny bit easier, I miss her. I miss her hugs, the way she smelled when I would breath her in. The way my name sounded when she spoke it. Her laugh, I think I miss that the most. The way her head would tilt ever so to the side when she was listening to how your day was. Everyone who knew her was blessed beyond belief to have such a woman in their life. But me,......I am honored to say that she is my mother. I know that she is still with me and she always will be. I know that no matter what I think or feel she is still at my side with her head tilted, listening to what her baby girl has to say.

I am lounging before I start on my mile long to do list. I really have to do laundry, dust, dishes, and then I am going to rearrange my bedroom to try and get a little bit more room out of the whole thing. I am also packing up our aunt's stuff to put in storage. Its crazy this little two bedroom apartment has all this junk in it. lol. I am also going to finish up some homework and then if I have time take a break? yeah right, lol. Anyway, I just wanted to stop and make my day go by smoother by talking to my covenspacers. It seems like after I talk to all of you, my day just perks up and it goes a lot better. I love you guys and I know that you all love me too. I feel at home here, there is no better way to start your day than from home.
