End of the Day Highlights
After a long day full of lots of (insert productive here) work there were a few moments that made me smile.
Hubby went for a run after work. Part of his training for the Seaside Half Marathon coming up in March. (best part of this race is the Vera Bradley bag you get at the end!) LB wormed her way in his lap during his stretches. My family is too precious.
And a package came! I love mail. My lovely sister-in-law and her hubby sent me this fabulous candle for my birthday. Even the UPS box smelled scrumptious.
Please note the beverages of choice in the picture - one in the foreground and one in the background.
On the downward slide to the weekend. Yay!

A Word to Define 2011
I can hardly wait for tomorrow.
Hubby and I have a date night planned (still looking for a babysitter - minor detail). We are revealing our words for 2011. The idea came to us through one of Jon Gordon's recent newsletters. Through prayer and reflection, pick a word that you want to define your life in 2011.
There are so many words. And so many things I want to accomplish this year. But it can only be one.
It has been really cool to see how my word has morphed and changed over the course of the week. Yesterday I found my word. It encompasses so much, that I have no doubt this is the right one.
To give us daily reminders we plan on painting our words and hanging them in the house somewhere. The kitchen perhaps? I do spend most of my day there.
Eek! I can't wait!

3am
3am - usually if I'm awake at this hour it's to hunt down a pacifier. But if I'm being honest, I rarely do that anymore - my hubby is the most awesome paci finder in the world and he jumps on the hunt before I can even roll over and say, "maybe she should cry this one out."
But this morning I awoke for a different reason. A nightmare. I can't tell you the last time I had a real nightmare. The kind where you wake up in a cold sweat and you don't want to go back to sleep for fear of drifting back into the scene you just left.
I lay there for a second listening to the house, the gentle breathing of my husband next to me and even a few murmurs of my baby girl in the next room. I got up to use the restroom and to try and shake the dream. I had even managed to bite my bottom lip and draw blood. It really got to me. It was too vivid.
As I crawled back in the bed, I told Grant that I had a bad nightmare. In his less than awake and primarily sleepy state he snuggled up close and told me that everything was fine. We laced our fingers and fell asleep holding hands.
Goodness gracious, what a night. Paci hunting at 3am doesn't seem so bad after all.
