Time at the park… with friends, alone, with Daddy
Deep friendships where silence is comfortable and anything can be shared
Reading post-bedtime while John plays the Wii



A hilarious comedy show with my parents
Listening to Anna fill in words to Amazing Grace as John sings it
Fun hair highlights and 3.5 hours with my stylist-turned-friend
Restocking my favorite face sunscreen



A morning at the zoo, Anna constantly telling the rhinos to ‘get up’ as they laid down
Shopping for Anna’s “new” room — twin bed, lamp, comforter, etc
My sunglasses broke so I tried a new brand and really happy with my choice!
Driving around my little town going 35 mph with the windows down


Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream
Worshipping on Sundays surrounded by genuine friends
Lots of baby kicks
Backwards hat wearing Anna laughing at us as we can’t remember the lyrics to a hymn before bedtime



Reflecting on these lines from Kristine DiMarco:
You are my country
You are my land
You are the line
I’m drawing in the sand
You are my city
You are my town
You are the King
We give You back the crown
