so much.


  • nick, brad and tyler's friendship (and that they watched a dumb movie together)
  • easy drive to cape canaveral
  • tiny reminders of beauty and thoughtfulness


  • the reminder of the importance of "...a spirit of gratitude and satisfaction..." - ready or not
  • yaya's extreme generosity to make our "girls' trip" possible (hopefully there will be a blog post and pictures to come)


  • time to catch up on reading
  • treadmills
  • Truth from Mike Foster


  • all the reminders of life on the AFM
  • karaoke laughing
  • the way yaya loves to dance
  • game of sorry in the library
  • the beauty of it all


  • the way the man was talking to his daughter - listening, loving, correcting
  • french fries + cherry coke + solitude
  • "mom, will you take a picture with me?" - caroline
  • caroline's british accent (and the fun it brought to our fancy dinners)
  • fancy dinner



  • towel animals
  • the way emma uses cartwheels as a mode of transportation
  • back home safe and sound
  • no hurricane damage
  • how capable nick is (and his willingness to cover everything so i could be away for a few days) - and not just capable...super capable - "has the house completely clean, moves the cars to protect them from potential hurricane damage, working on his doctorate, taking care of 3 kids, continuing to go to work" capable.
