Perfection

Posted by Sara

Every day brings us a little closer to our big summer vacation. Last night Sheldon and I sat down and planned what we are actually going to do in Washington. At first I dreamed this trip would relive all of my favorite childhood experiences, but I've come to recognize how impractical that would be. I'm still excited about our plans. We're doing some of my favorite activities and adding things I've never done. We are most excited to see Ann and Bill, especially to be there for their sealing.

We were so glad this Friday to have Sharisse's brother Jesse stay with us. We got so much accomplished before his stay. My favorite accomplishment was getting the lawn mowed before the rain started to flood again. Sheldon was so thrilled when he came home. It made my day. Then on top of that he helped me clean the bathroom among other projects. I felt very loved.

Saturday the girls and Sheldon and I worked on a few Mothers Day presents. We opened the house and had a nice breeze blowing and everything was peaceful. Joe spent almost all day researching Civil War songs and poems. It was a small miracle that we didn't have to sit on him to get his work done.

Jesse made the comment when he was here that Missouri reminded him of Washington. I've always wanted to live in Washington. Now if Missouri were filled with all the people I love and we could somehow get a little ocean nearby I would have to call it perfect.
