Here goes!
People always say things like you don't know what you have until it's gone, that when you get down you should realize how lucky you are compared to 99% of the people in the world. Etc.
After a very difficult fall (because of my own nervousness about graduate school and living apart from Kevin - not because of any external circumstances), I feel like I've turned a corner and am aware basically all the time how lucky I am.
This past weekend was case in point. I went to four parties: a wedding shower for Amy at her friend Ashlie's beautiful house on Pine Lake, a fun, chill bachelorette party (wine + facials + comfy beds = a pretty amazing time), another wedding shower for my cousin Kristen (seeing hilarous relatives after too long + quality time with shortest, fattest dog I've ever seen in my life also = a pretty amazing time), and a celebration of my grandma's birthday.
The birthday girl herself along with this handsome guy she hangs out with occasionally.
My grandparents' porch. As my grandpa's favorite sweatshirt says, "It doesn't get any better than this."
As this wonderful weekend was winding down, I went and sat in the hammock on my grandparents' lawn and listened to my aunts, uncles, and cousins arrive. There was no homework to do, no rush to get back to Chicago (WITH Kevin), plenty of veggie lasagna + birthday cake to eat and lots time to spend with my La Porte family. I was 100% happy. Who gets a life this good? Seriously?
We're DEFINITELY lucky!
