Life is... needless to say, very crazy and busy. I have had at least 3-5 photoshoots a week since September, and it is just getting busier and busier up until middle of December. Grateful? Absolutely... I just wish I had some time to clean my house :). I think I am on top of things and then it's just dirty again. Moreso, I think between our jobs, Dan and I would just love a free weekend but that doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon. My mom has always said it is good to be busy though. I completely agree with that, it forces you to be productive and stay on top of things. In all the business of life though, when you are wrapped up in everything that needs to get done and you have to do... it's good to have a week like we just had. My dear friend, Brittney, lost her dad quite unexpectedly. He had liver cancer and they found out a week ago. He was a wonderful man and loved his family so much. Watching my Aunt Kim suffer through cancer, it is hard to say what is better. Brittney didn't see her father struggle but at the same time it was such a sudden goodbye.
This started my thinking that although our lives are so busy right now, Dan and I need to stop and have moments where we force ourselves to just stop. Just be and enjoy.
Then after the event of Brittney's Dad, Dan was in a wreck on the freeway in the Acura. He had turned his head for a moment and the traffic had suddenly stopped. I was so grateful that Dan was alright. So grateful. Although we laugh that we had just paid a couple hundred dollars on the Acura that morning, I am so glad I decided to get the brakes fixed when I found out how bad they were the day before (I never drive the Acura anymore, Dan does.) I really think that's what saved my husband from it being something so much worse.
This week has been a reminder to slow down. Enjoy life and not get caught up in the craziness. I love Dan so much and am so grateful to have him in my life. I am so grateful I could be there for Brittney at her Dad's funeral yesterday. For that reminder that things do not end here on earth. I can't get this Brad Paisley song out of my head. It makes me think of my Grandpa and My Aunt Kim and visiting with them again one day. Love it.
