Let me set the stage... It is 10:30 in the evening and I am sitting on my back porch watching the night. The temperature is perfect and the view is better! From my backyard I can see the bluff that looms over Dewar Drive against a black night sky. I can hear traffic and the faint sound of music from the bar two blocks away. My neighbor's fan whirls in the background and the moon is shining through the trees that shade my yard.
Matthew and I have been working our asses off to get everything ready for the cousin reunion on Friday, I am glad that we have a good reason to accomplish these projects because my yard is awesome! I was just sitting back here thinking of the difference between the place we bought and the place we live in now and I am so grateful for and proud of the progress I see.
Also, it is my little sister's 27th birthday today and I feel so lucky to be challenged and loved by her for all those years. Life is much better when you you have been through shit and truly appreciate the things that don't suck! Love ya Lace!
