So here goes...
I'm LOVING this fabulous weather! I know many think it's too hot, but just remind yourself of all the times you thought it was too cold. Try to enjoy what we have! The changing of seasons is always so fun and new. I love waking up to the sun on my face, and I love coming home from work with the sun still shining!
I'm LOVING that I have the best sister-in-laws around! I'm LOVING that, no matter the age difference, we can act as silly and have as much fun as if we were truly sisters! I'm LOVING that all our husbands are close too! I'm LOVING that I can tell Jenny she is the oldest one on the dance floor, and she embraces it PROUDLY with hands in the air! Ha!
I'm LOVING that Easter is this weekend! Of course, the celebration of Christ's life and death and resurrection...dying on the cross for our sins. Suffering the crucifixion so that we could enjoy a home in Heaven with Him. HE HAS RISEN! I also look forward to the egg hunts each year. Not only the kids' egg hunt we enjoy with Russ's side of the family, but it is the day the Smith family has our BIG egg hunt. You know, the one with prize-filled eggs! It's a big deal. Like egg hunt uniforms and all! In case you need a visual, you can see here and here and here for some of our past hunts.
I'm LOVING sweet, unexpected messages, emails, letters, comments, and prayers! Last night I received the sweetest message from one of our precious prayer warriors...
Megan, I was looking at your blog and we came across the picture of you and Russ announcing that you were adopting. Hannah, my 5 year old, asked me what this picture meant and I proceeded to tell her that it meant that God was going to use another lady to help you to get a baby to love. She then said, "Dear God, please give that lady her own wittle baby." I tell you the truth, I cried more over the fact that my 5 year old knew who to pray to rather than what to pray. Even though her prayer was right on target. God hears us and as my grandmother put it, he hears little ones even clearer. I just wanted to share this with you and let you know that you even have a 5 year old blonde haired blue eyed angel named Hannah Marie Robbins praying for God to give you your own "wittle baby". We love you and are PRAYING FOR MORE!
I'm LOVING the fact that I've been with Nathan, Haley, Brooke, Peyton, Lucas, Mouth, "Skills," and the rest of the group from One Tree Hill since the previews of the first season! I was in college when we saw previews showing a boy in a gray hoodie dribbling a basketball down the street with the sound of Gavin Degraw's "I Don't Wanna Be" playing. Yep. Those were the days! We called them "TV Tuesdays"....every Tuesday night a group of my friends would come over to watch Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill. We would eat chocolate...or macaroni and cheese and broccoli! Ha! We would sing the One Tree Hill theme song at the top of our lungs every single time! Even after we were married, some of us would call each other to sing the opening song at the beginning of each episode. Lots of memories made. I've been with this cast since DAY ONE! And, tonight, the two hour series finale will air. I'm in a small state of depression over it. I was in tears during last week's episode as I watched how everything is closing up. I feel the need to call my TV Tuesday group and insist that they come over to commemorate the event. If only they didn't have kids, families, and live 2-3 hours away! I can guarantee you, though, that I will have Kelly, Jennifer, Jamie, and Rachael on my mind all night! It's the end of an era.
I'm LOVING skinny bright jeans! I've bought a few pair myself. Now, I'm searching for my silky flowy tops to wear with them. I'm thinking something that covers a little bit of this booty of mine! Ha!
So....there's a look at some of the things I'm LOVING today!
What have you been loving lately?
