Today was beautiful. I woke up, got dressed (which I really didn't feel like getting out of my jammies, so it was a big deal, thus it gets to be listed in the days activities), got a haircut, then spent a glorious fall afternoon in Nature with my darling Travis. I've been saying every weekend, "We need to go outside while the weather is still good" And so finally, the weather was PERFECT and the leaves are a beautiful golden. So we went to Chena Lakes-but past where you turn off to go to the lakes but farther down the main road to where theres a beautiful river campsite and a few walking trails. Oh, I just can't say enough, but it was beautiful. There, we threw rocks in the water like little kids-Travis can throw then reallly high and really far (hit the sign on the other side of the river, or threw them really high so they would make cool sounds when the fell into the water, like "THWOOPM") and he's really good at skipping rocks-I've said it once and I'll say it again, I'm easy to please! I loved it!
Other than that, he made me some dinner, and we watched a movie. It was a great day.
Kinda Ironic given the anniversary of today, 9/11.......but I think its a perfect example of how God gives us tender mercies. Beautiful weather and sunshine to light up the shadows and open our eyes to all the beauties and blessings still extended and offered to us.
