This weekend was a very special one. Since our loss, I have been an emotional roller coaster. I am so up and down I never seem to know what kind of mood I will be in. This past week was pretty horrible and I was in a terrible funk. I was determined to get out of my negative funk and have a wonderful weekend, and somehow, it actually worked.
David was home Saturday, so we basically did our Sunday morning routine a day earlier :) At the start of my day Saturday, I was hit in the face with a beautiful reminder that, "I LOVE my husband". I woke up while the house was still asleep. I picked up the kiddos toy room and folded a load of laundry. My husband woke up about 30min after me. He gave me a kiss and started a pot of coffee. I hopped in the shower. After my shower (uninterrupted by any kiddos, I might add) I walked into the kitchen to make a myself a cup of coffee. I saw that David was outback working on the yard design. I sat down on the back porch to visit with him and I noticed his coffee mug was one from our wedding. I put tears in my eyes. Sometimes life just hands you little reminders and Saturday, I was hit with the overwhelming reminder of how much I truly adore my husband.
The rest of the day was such a lovely day. Weather was gorgeous. We went to church as a family, stopped by our nephew Timothy's soccer game, went to lunch and played at Peter Piper Pizza with family, headed over to my parents house in the afternoon to visit with "Grandpa and Grandma" and Aidan and Chloe were there, so the kiddos got to play with them. I had to head to work and my mom had bought me a bottle of Pinot Noir (which I enjoyed once I got home from work in the bubble bath---a glass that is). I headed to work and my friend Amanda brought a Dutch Brothers coffee in for me. The night was pretty fair and I got off on time :)
Today, the kiddos and I got up headed over to Sunday Mass (they both sat so well for me and I was so impressed with them since daddy was gone at work) we then walked around the church campus and talked, picked flowers and enjoyed the cool weather while traffic died down. It was a lovely morning. We spent the rest of the day relaxing with family.
The weekend is over....but I intend on keeping this positive streak going. I totally understand that I will have bad days and that sometimes that is just out of our hands, but I am really looking forward with a positive outlook in hopes that it just gets better from here on out.
---Hope you all had an amazing weekend.
Love you all,
Meg
