I am thankful that my parents for coming to this country about 40 years ago with  the hope of creating a better life for themselves.
I am thankful that they taught me as long as you work hard and whatever it is we were doing then we were doing the right thing. Never was their judgement when I was just working at restaurants or talking my time with school. They allowed  my siblings and I to find our own way and I think they have raised some bright, kind and successful children who are happy and proud of what they are doing. 
I am thankful to have a husband who is my best friend, who taught me how to communicate and believes in what I do, and who I laugh and joke with on a daily basis. 
I am thankful to have friends who(though we don't see each other much) are always there for me when I need to let it out.
I am thankful to have my girls- they makes me appreciate the simple moments of life (and make me more aware of my actions). I am thankful that I can share experiences with them and they truly are the loves of my life.
I am thankful to have a job that I LOVE. I can write the reasons but I will keep that for another day.

How I knew

How did I know that my husband was the one for me? I sometimes have a hard time explaining this, but for me it cam down to having a sense that I was going to be alright in my life. Being with Chris gave me confidence. I cam across this quote that sums up how I knew he was the one for me.   “Someday you’ll find the right person, and you’ll learn to have a lot more confidence in yourself. That’s what I think. So don’t settle for anything less. In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.” -  Haruki Murakami

Morning thoughts

I love them Spring is coming, so they say. Yesterday after school we were able to enjoy the creek and playground till it was dinner time. The joys of being able to make the day pass while being outdoors. I can't wait. This morning Eva got a little outdoor time before the rain came,  and Ella hummed along to some Neill Young. Then puzzle mania ensued. I was reading this blog, Manger  and she wrote the following: "While our kids are still small, our lives young, our dogs so splendid, our journey is just beginning!" It reminded me so much of my husband because whenever I say "Things are great."  He always chimes in that the best is still yet to come. I wonder what's to come?

Lazy Fall Days

This weekend the girls and I had a great weekend. It was a beautiful fall day in Virginia. We ventured out to the pumpkin patch near the house with cousin Veia and had a great time sliding down the slides and picking out our pumpkins. I knew I wanted to do something outdoorsy with the girls on Sunday but I couldn't decide between visiting an apple orchard, hiking the Shenandoah or checking out Frying Pan Park. Ultimately, I decided to pull out Ella's bike out while Eva was sleeping and to my delight she finally discovered the joys of riding a bike. She was on it all day, it was great. We decided to talk a walk in our own backyard. We have a great park system with wonderful trails. I'm so glad I decided to not get in my car. Ella got on her Skut and I put Eva in the backpack and we walked to an open field, I pulled chocolate chip cookies and that's when Ella asked me if I wanted to daydream with her. Which meant looking at the...
