3 Reasons I am Smiling Today

January 28, 2010 at 9:26am

In no particular order…

1. Warm sunshine. With a very cold and rainy weekend ahead, I couldn’t be more excited about today’s forecast of sunny and 60 degrees. Spring makes my heart feel alive, and these little hints of it are what keeps me going until it’s official arrival in a few months.

2. Audra. We have finally decided on a name for our baby girl! After going through countless lists online and pouring over name books, we have a name that feels just right for our little girl, and it is such a good feeling.

3. Fresh flowers. My sweet husband knows how I anticipate spring each year, and he made my day yesterday when he brought home fresh tulips for me. They quickly found their home on our mantle, as you can see below. Thanks, Andrew!

Mom - Audra Rachel Thomas is reason enough to smile today!! Sunshine and getting to the bottom of piles on my desk makes me smile. The sound of happy children in the second grade classroom next door makes me smile, and the list goes on! I guess it all boils down to God's goodness and grace...how could we NOT smile???

Stephanie Taylor - What a cheerful blogpost! And what a beautiful name for your precious girl! Very unique. Brownie points for your husband, too!
