life is good

My sweet Aubrey is 3 years old today! It's hard to believe how quickly the time goes. One of my favourite things ever is when all the kids are at the same place at the same time; it just makes me happy. I love playing with them, but I also love watching them interact together. Add cousins on Jen's side and a bouncy castle to the mix and you have a recipe for awesomeness! Pulled pork was a bonus.

My tenants came to clean the house today in preparation for their move next Saturday. Every time I talk with them, it confirms that this is a great decision for me. I moved a lot of plants from the front to the back, as I've told them they can plant whatever they want in the front yard. I did a lot of digging and lugging and I'm sore (probably more so tomorrow!), but I feel satisfied with my effort.


Sometimes I'm embarrassed to say how many people help me. I feel like a bit of a loser who can't take care of business. I've decided that's ridiculous and instead I'm gonna celebrate every person whose life makes mine more blessed. Thanks to Jason for repairing the hose reel and installing the new mailbox, in spite of the helpful drunk neighbours. Thanks to Jen for letting me take Miss P to market this morning.

My mood continues to be better than it has for months and I'm hopeful that the hangover/withdrawal effects are a thing of the past. I could get used to this!

Life is very good! Love, elly
