thanking my lucky stars...

We were on our way back to Kansas City. The Zac Brown Band was playing in the background. Bryan was singing and filling our car ride with country music goodness. And, while I was holding his hand and smiling at my sweet hubby, my mind replayed the wonderful visit we had at home. The kind of visit that makes my heart feel full.

I thought about my mum’s laughter and smiles as we shared stories. My dad’s hugs and listening to his dreams of traveling. Mama Roundtree’s kisses. Holding two little munchkins as they were welcomed into this world last month and being Aunt Shefy and Uncle B to them. Gluten-free treats. The beautiful, summer weather. BBQs and family time. Firework shows in the country. Smooching on the little love in my life. Mango salsa. Sister time with my three sissy-in-laws. Meeting boyfriends who are the sweetest. Late night cocktails with good girlfriends and re-telling our crazy college stories. Baby shower fun and seeing our mama-to-be glow. Reading. Eating so much food and doing the penguin walk afterwards. Afternoon naps, cuddles with sweet hubby and watching movies. Looking at stars on a clear, open sky. Hearing Savannah say mommy and daddy. Watching sweet hubby light up old as he set off fireworks. Counting my blessings and thanking my lucky stars. For this said life.
