Most nights I feel relaxed and peaceful in my home when it's back in order after a busy day...dishes washed, floor swept, toys picked up. Tonight however the mess is what makes me smile because it reminds me of the day we had here with friends. I look around at the toys, dishes, and leaves that came in the house while we were in and out all day and I feel full and content from the day we spent here with friends who have become family. Between our two families there are eight kiddos and they run around together like cousins because of the amount of time they have spent together over the past 3 years. Our time together is energizing and as I watch them load up and leave I think about the next time we'll be together. It was exactly what I needed after a week with sick kids!
And, I ran my first race today! I ran the 5K at MVNU's homecoming. It feels good to have completed my first race and it makes me really excited to keep training. My next race in Thanksgiving Day, a four mile race in Columbus. My boys are all running in the kids race that day, I can't wait!
No better feeling than a "mess of memories".
