Here in the Lane household, life has been peaceful and normal. Kids are still spending weekdays with their dad. Cody has been working a lot... he makes me so proud. He is such a great provider and a family man. He does whatever he can to make me happy, and is so involved with the kids. Our home is our happy place, and I appreciate it every single day.
We have a couple more weeks left until the schedule with the kids goes back to normal. We are looking forward to having the kids back home full-time, but while they are gone I plan to make the most of our time together. We will be taking the scooter out this week (my request, the weather will be so much cooler) and next week we have a concert, a float trip planned, and will be celebrating Elizabeth's birthday. I am pretty excited to celebrate with her. She is one of the very best friends a girl could ask for; she is one of the rocks in my life and I don't know what I would do without her (or our daily phone calls).
Not long ago, after a yoga class we had taken together, I sent her a text along the lines of, "Isn't is funny how eight or nine years ago that we went out day-drinking for a fun, and now... we exercise?!" It made us both laugh, but it is so true. I wouldn't take back many of the experiences I've had, but am happy to look back on those times and smile at the memories (and never do a lot of it ever again). I still have loads of fun all the time, it is just different now, and I am more than okay with that.
Speaking of exercise, I am off to go for a run before I go to work today--it is 57 degrees right now. On July 15. I am definitely taking advantage of this rare cool week we are about to have. I promise to post kid pictures soon, and have a couple of other posts in the works. Have a great week, get outside!!
