.:Life is Good:.
Had a wonderful time in Lake Powell with great friends, my brothers and my sister, and of course, Seth.
We went tubing, cliff jumping, wake boarding, had a private beach all to ourselves and a wonderful time just hanging out and being ridiculously silly on saturday night.
I haven't seen my family so happy together for a long time. Joe and Chancie had a rough time their first year of marriage, but they've sorted things out and seem so happy now. They're perfect for each other.
Jen and Jack are still in the new and exciting phase of dating. They are such an unlikely couple, but I think thats what makes them so perfect for each other. Jack dated a friend of mine, and it seemed like it was a struggle to get him to have/show emotion for her. But it's so natural with Jen. He's admitedly falling for her, and she him. It's wonderful. They compliment each other so well. They're officially "official" and so very happy. I'm so happy for them.
Brodie is doing well. He's torn between staying here and starting the rest of his life, and serving a mission for his church. I don't think that I've ever witnessed in front of me the process of growing up, but watching him has made me realize that he's really getting there. With all that he's been through in the last two years, I know it hasn't been easy for him. I'm so proud to call him my little brother, and while I am not active in the LDS religion, I want him to be happy. If it means giving up seeing him for two years to help him achieve that, then I'm all for it. He is such a strong individual, and I can't wait to see where life takes him.
Lying in bed last night, I was almost overcome with gratefulness. I had a great weekend with my family, and got to share it with the love of my life. I was just dozing off in his arms, after a warm shower to wash the lake off, when he woke me out of the half-sleep state I was in. "I can't stop thinking about how lucky I am to have you in my life." The feeling is so mutual. It's such an amazing feeling to know that you've found someone that you can share the rest of your life with.
I was complaining this morning to the receptionist here at work how tired I am from not getting home until early this a.m. And how sore I am, how the tire on one of the boat trailers blew out on the way home, and then it suddenly hit me. I have nothing to complain about. Sure the day to day work week might seem a little redundant at times, but I go home to a man I am head over heels for, something I never had, never felt before him. I have a family that has their own set of problems or issues on individual levels, but we're all here for each other. Any of us would do anything that another needed. Be there when anyone was in need. That is such a source of strength.
I am so lucky.
