Happy Hearts...

I was busy doing bills and asked Aidan to clean up his toys so we could have lunch. This is usually a huge fight and he will only do it if I come help him. He pleasantly agreed to do it though and next thing I knew he had disappeared to his room. I thought he was up there playing but when he called me up he had cleaned up his very messy room all by himself! I am about to admit how much joy I take in the small things but it really made my heart happy to see him so proud of himself and to want to do something by himself. I told him that and he said, "Mom, it makes my heart happy that your heart is happy about me." I couldn't have said it better myself. :)


Another thing that makes my heart happy today is that we are back to "So You Think You Can Dance!" Wahoo! How I survive without this show 9 months out of the year is a mystery but I'm so happy for it to be back !!!

One final heart happiness... Brett comes back tonight from spending a week in Arizona presenting at a conference. I enjoyed the first few quiet nights by myself but it gets to be lonely and I'm looking forward to him coming home. He's been missed!

Problem solved...

After much research, I found the problem. In case any of you ever have this problem, here is what happened to my blog. When I did my Mother's Day post the picture was too big for the post and it knocked the side bar to the bottom. The best way to find the problem is to view each post individually and see which one has the incorrect layout. I had to take off my Mother's Day picture until I can find a better way to put it on but I'm glad to be up and running again!

Help!

My blog is so messed up! Why is all the sidebar stuff at the bottom? Has this ever happened to anyone before? I guess I might need to change the background sooner than I thought to get it fixed. Ignore the mess for now. :)

Happy Graduation Brett!

I'm competing for the title of the world's slowest blogger! Life is going by too fast! We had a great time at Brett's graduation. We were worried it was going to feel a little anti-climatic since he finished his classes in December but it was so great to finally get to celebrate! We had such a great time watching him graduate and had so much fun that night having a big BBQ (in the cold weather) at my parents house. We felt so much love and support for both of us and are so grateful for the family and friends that helped to make the day really wonderful. We were especially grateful for Brett's family (Mom, Dan & Nikki, Jazmin, Trey) for driving all the way from Nebraska for the occasion and also to Jordan and Danny and McKay for always making that 7 hour drive when we truly need them. We love you all so much! Yea! NO MORE SCHOOL!
