Quiet Moments

It seems that life is full of busy, busy, busy all the time. There is always something to be done, some deadline to meet, some place to be. It is so easy to get caught up in these moments and miss the small and quiet ones.

Recently I've been thinking and noticing them more. This last tuesday I was told that the only Grandfather I have ever known had passed away. It is heartbreaking to think about yet I know that it is for the best and that I will see him again. He was one of my heroes in life and such an example to me spiritually. He will be greatly missed.

It is because of this event that I have been thinking more about life and what is most important to me. Brett has been wonderful during the whole ordeal, even when he himself was in pain. I learn more of him everyday and am so grateful for such a wonderful man in my life. As I pay more attention to the small meaningful things, I can more fully enjoy the quiet moments of life. Brett is one of those for me.

Trip(s) North

So lately Brett and I have been traveling north to see our families and visit friends and a bunch of other what nots. Anyway on one particular trip we had a bit of a funny scare. See we are going down the highway and we see an interesing site. A semi - facing us! and apparently driving backward. However we soon discovered that it was one semi pulling another, but from the back it seemed as though we would very soon be crashing. On this same trip we bought a new toy that unfortunately we couldn't bring home with us due to the rainy weather.

Three days later however we decided that we could bring it home. So we headed north again. We voted to take the UTA system, so it took a grand total of three hours to make a normally hour and half trip, but it was well worth it and so much fun!

What you might ask would make us make such a crazy trip in the middle of the week? Well that would be a motorcycle. Also it was Brett's first time to use both the trax and the frontrunner and so it made quite a novel trip. We spent a good couple of hours up there and then drove home on the motorcycle. It was overall a blast and may sometime be repeated soon as the weather is warmer. And now Brett has a toy he can play with outside, so it all works out. :)
