Days 2 & 3

Being down in San Diego for part of yesterday and most of today affected my plans to post.  So here are some things I'm grateful for, in particular:

1. My friend Chellese.  Chellese is a dear friend.  She is visiting us this weekend to participate in  my first "race" ever.  Along with my mom and a lot of her friends from church, we did the Color Run in San Diego.  It was a blast and I'm especially grateful that they walked with me seeing as how I'm not supposed to run because of the pregnancy.  (BTW, my friend Heidi that I grew up with, though she's a few years younger than me, she and her husband are the founders of the Color Run.  So cool.)
2. My mom, Vicki.  If you know her, then you know what I'm talking about.  If you don't know her, you wish you did.  She is fun, funny, smart, adventurous, humble, and just a blast to be around.  When I was younger, I was a bit jealous because my friends always seemed to like her more than they liked me.  Now that I've matured (HA!) I can appreciate how awesome she is.
3. Little kids dancing.  My kids did a lot of dancing and jumping today at the Color Run.  Their enthusiasm is captivating and life-affirming.
4. The Eggery.  This is Rick's second most favorite breakfast place in the world.  I've never eaten something there that I didn't love.  You truly need to order multiple things on their menu in one sitting to understand its greatness.  I believe this place began Rick's love of granola pancakes.
5. Our glorious bed.  You know how you stay at a fancy hotel and just revel in how wonderful their beds are.  I now long for our bed at home no matter where I'm staying.  It's that nice.  It's a Kluft, look it up.  And no, we did NOT pay full price for ours, not even close.
