rainy day thoughts

*It's overcast today, sort of rainy.

*Sammy is having fun playing by himself and being creative.... which warms my heart, because I just wrote an article and submitted it to our local mag... it's about Raising Creative Children. So I should practice what I preach :).

*My butt hurts from the new seats on the bikes in the spin class room. Youch.

*I'm eager to hear when the buyers of our house want to close the deal... should be sometime in March. Very hard to move, but it will be a sweet time.

*Zach and I are excited about a road trip we plan to take with the kids before he starts school. Details TBA.

*We have good friends. Good, amazing, deep-thinking, caring friends. From so many walks of life and so many areas of our life. I really don't know what we'd do without them. Thanks friends!

*We are moving to the country. Say it with me with the southern accent... country. In a turn of events that could only be orchestrated by God, or by my friend Taryn (whomever thought of the idea first), we are moving to a beautiful patch of land with a beautiful little house with amazing windows. I can't wait to show you pictures. It will be a lovely place to raise our kids for these Dental School years. Zach will have more of a commute to get to school, but the trade-off is worth it. A sweet little community of people who will support us... we are beyond excited. It's a more affordable, comfortable place for us to live, with clean air and space to roam. My kids will love it!

*Soon I will drive there and look at the schools for our kids... getting excited about the prospects there :). Country livin' will be a fun experience for all of us!
