Sheesh, behind again... what can I say?
I am thankful today for the ability to drive to different cities in Texas to see friends! Yesterday we visited Houston to see our friend Kimchi, who was working at the International Quilt Festival. We hadn't seen her in over a year (she commented that the last time she saw Amelia, she was still only 4lbs).
Today we went to San Antonio to see Leigh, who was in town for work. It's so nice to be able to spend time with friends even though we are so far away. In a few weeks, we will see another friend who is coming to town for the Formula 1 race.
I am also thankful for my Aunt Paula, who is incredibly strong and is inspiring me in ways I can't explain. Not only does she have a successful book blog, but she raised an incredible girl who is kicking butt at an ivy league school, and living her dreams. Meanwhile, my Aunt is battling Lymphoma, and taking the time to research schools for Amelia to attend when she gets old enough to go! It would be so easy to give up, burrow away in her house, and let the tough things in her life get her down, but she doesn't, and it's incredible to me. I hope I have that much resilience in the face of pressure, and that if I ever lose my hair, I look that cute with a bald head! :)
