  • getting to meet and have a decent conversation with someone new at ccc

  • nap on yaya's couch
  • "i have a question for you" 
  • recognizing a name on a quote card because of a book emma read for school (edith nesbit)
  • treadstone family membership.  worth it.

  • plenty to talk about during date night
  • adding a new family to community group
  • when i push the button on the washing machine and it starts (i don't want to take that for granted!)
