Sunshine - "For of him unto whom much is given much is required ..."


Yesterday the absolute beauty of my life was out in full force. I spent the morning with my boys, performed in a musical that I adore, sat in the audience of that same show, drove home in the rain with sunshine peeking out all along the way, got to see my little dude to bed, tidied up the house that I am so grateful for, and chilled with my sweet hubby before bed. Throughout the day I felt an immense amount of gratitude for all of the incredible opportunities and blessings in my life. I couldn't help but ponder how fortunate I am and how, because of that, a lot is expected of me. I spent a lot of time evaluating where I am in my life and inspecting the areas that could use some serious improvement.

I am grateful.

Now let's chat for a second . . .

First of all, you have less than two weeks to see this beautiful piece of theatre. GET YOUR TICKETS.  (I have seven shows yet - MWF and Sat at 12:30 is my cast)

On that same note, I posted this before but didn't embed it - so yeah - check out this incredible 2014 season:




Let's discuss also, the most gigantic part of our spring and summer.  OUR YARD. It has been quite the process, but we finally laid sod on Wednesday.  WE ARE THRILLED!!!



Compost : Our own pile of dirt.


After a bit of a sod disaster involving the company we hired to trench.

GRASS!!!!

Now, of course, we need trees and bushes, and plants and other pretties, but for now, we're thrilled to have GRASS.
