Boys will be boys… thank God!
So I pull into my driveway this evening and was finishing up a conversation with my mom when I noticed my brothers flashers flipping on and off like someone was playing with his truck alarm remote. I looked back and saw no one coming out of the house. By the time I got out of my car I noticed not only were his truck flashers flashing but his friend Eirik’s truck was doing the same thing. I wasn’t sure what to think but I have grocery bags in hand and come walking up to the front door. I turn the corner and see Brian and Eirik pressed up against the wall chuckling at their cleverness. And I couldn’t help but smile. It was almost cute. Actually, it was absolutely adorable! As I put away my groceries I was thinking about how childlike they looked as I turned that corner. I could almost see their junior selves playing a joke on their little sister waiting for her to come around the corner, giggling standing close to the wall not to be seen. Take away the beer and cigarette Eirik had in his hands and it would have been a classic Norman Rockwell scene. But honestly I think that’s what made it all that much more adorable. It reminded me of the fact that boys will always be boys and it brought a huge smile to my face.
Life has been good. Kept extremely busy with events as well as fulfilling some goals I’ve set for myself. After my busy extended weekend I went back to work. This week has been just as busy as last, if not more so because we’ve experienced more technical issues then usual. I enjoy staying busy. I feel so much more productive when I have a lot of stuff to do then when I have minor tasks.
Anyways, I’ve enjoyed waking up early and spending some time taking pleasure in the start of my day rather then rushing around frantic to be out of the house by 8. I spent one morning watching the sunrise in one of the new patio chairs I bought. I read my bible and wrote in my prayer journal. The next morning I decided I really wanted to go for a morning walk. It was sprinkling but it still felt awesome to get out and walk a mile before work. I take lunch walks but it’s just a half a mile and it’s really just to get out of the office and get some fresh air. Speaking of which, I’m going to go do a bit of a workout before bed.
So I’ll leave you with a couple of the pictures I took of the lunar eclipse yesterday. Click on the image to see the larger view.
Goodnight
