Just one of those amazing days.

Today was not supposed to be anything special. Just borrowed the Cozzens' car, go grocery shopping and run errands. Same old, same old. But for some reason today, it was more than grocery shopping and errand running, it was making lifestyle changes, taking Cole out and watching him enjoy the world, having Todd hang his head out the window and enjoy the weather, and just spending a care free day with my family.

First off, I groomed a dog this morning and did quite an amazing job, if I do say so myself. And that's a good thing because this weekend I almost just quite grooming for a while because I messed up on a client and it destroyed my self esteem and broke my spirit. So knowing I did a good job on this dog today, and have the owner recognize it, I felt so much better about my grooming and realized everyone makes mistakes.

Next, we went to Target to get toiletries, and ended up doing a little grocery shopping there as well! I found some great vegan foods, got ingredients to make Broc's favorite meals, and we headed to Pappa Murphy's to get pizza, breadsticks, and cookie dough! Then we headed home so Cole could take his afternoon nap and we could eat lunch.

Then, we headed off to Smith's after Cole took his 2 1/2 hour nap (crazy kid!) to buy the rest of our groceries and fresh produce, because they are A LOT cheaper than Target. While we were in the produce section, Broc came to the cart with a giant bag of apples and said, " I want to live a healthier lifestyle, too. I WILL NOT go vegetarian or vegan, but I want to eat healthier and take better care of myself." I squealed and gave him a big hug and kiss right in the middle of the store! I didn't care, I was so happy that he wanted to better himself even more than he already has!

So after hours of grocery shopping, we finally got home, got Cole fed and ready for bed, took our nighttime walk, and Broc and I are now eating sushi, drinking mike's hard lemonade, watching iron man 3, and playing blink.

Nothing special was supposed to happen today. But now that I'm laying here next to my husband, on our bed that we pulled into the living room so we could have a "sleepover" while Todd is snuggle up at our feet, I realize that I need to cherish and enjoy everyday like I did today. Because life IS short, Cole is growing up so fast, Broc and I have been married for almost 3 YEARS, so much is changing and continues to change.

We all need to enjoy every single day.
Find something in your day to look forward to,
To always remember,
To crave to relive over and over again.

Life is absolutely beautiful.
