Friday Fotos 7/27 (It's Sunday...same diff)

Last weekend

my parents went to

my dad's 40 year high reunion.

Wasn't he adorable times 300?

I started a new job this week

and it is awesome.

Worked an event here.  Memory overload.

Admittedly I am a little gun shy

about the whole deal

as it's been a tough road

in the employment department this year.

But here's hoping.

I kept to my goal

of exercising 3 times this week

and almost died on the elliptical machine.

This was Day 1.  I didn't die until Day 3.

This ol' mare ain't

what she used to be

but she will be soon.

In fact she'll

be better.

I haven't always known

what defined joy for me;

always chasing

counterfit happiness.

That job,

those shoes,

that weight,

those friends,

that guy.

On Thursday

I woke to the sound

of Paul making breakfast

and Lucas singing in the shower

and I think I exploded

into a pile of glitter.

My bliss is finally here.

It is

in working with my guy

on his pet project,

It's a bed. He did all of the manly stuff.  I helped stain.

in following behind James

as he rides his bike in the setting sun,

in holding hands with Lucas

as we travel through an average Sunday.

Fawn-cy new drive thru car wash

My truest joy

is in the here and now.

With this life.

These friends.

These boys.

This man.

This body.

All I have is all I need;

and I have so very much.

New lipstick still makes me giddy.

Pretty in love with this song:

Purity Ring - Fineshrine

Weekends over folks,

and tonight I see Fiona.

Happy week ya'll. xo.
