Mother's Day Weekend & Some Revelations

I had a great Mother's Day weekend. It's hard to believe that it is my second Mother's Day!! Makenzie is getting so old and is doing new things every day. She is starting to say some words and she is happiest when we are outside. She even loves to ride in the car with all the windows rolled down and the music turned up loud. She is a little rebel and a free spirit but she is who she is and is and we love her for it. I cannot wait to have more children and see all the different personalities they all have! Plus, I am very thankful for my mom and mother in law who have become great friends to one another. We are able to celebrate holidays TOGETHER with both sets of parents. Chris & Anne were able to come up too! Between moving back into the condo and spending time with family, the weekend just flew by. We went swimming, ate a ton of food and did alot of talking.

I have always thought that my life has been crazy busy and out of control... but the more I think about it the more I realized that it is just they way I like it. I'm the one who wants to go up to WI all the time, I'm the one who booked the tickets to AL to visit my little nephew, I'm the one who LOVES to work from home, I'm the one who wants my house to be cleaned every week... no one is making me busy but me! At first I thought that maybe I should start saying no to things... but I really don't mind being busy. I am the happiest when I have a to-do list and when I know that I need to stay organized and on top of things.

Also, I realized that what I'm looking forward to most after moving from Cortland to the Burlington/Plato Center/Hampshire area is to having a yard. I cannot wait to have a flower garden for fresh flowers and to have a vegetable garden that I can cook with and share with anyone who needs fresh food. Plus, Mak needs room to run and that is NOT happening here. We are either too close to the pond or to the street. Pete & I grew up on acres and that is where we belong.
