…that I seriously just stop and realize how lucky I am. For all the hard things that happen and the long bridges we have to cross and the situations that come up, it’s nights like tonight that just feel good.
The kids have all been excellent. I made a fast and fun dinner, we all ate together. We went outside and just sat on the front porch for an hour and talked. They went on a bike ride, and a couple of us went on a brief walk.
We just had a nice, relaxing evening.
Now, they are all in their beds reading and getting ready to turn the lights out in 11 minutes. It’s nights like tonight I realize how truly blessed I am and remember how incredibly happy this all makes me.

I just found your blog and wanted to say hello. I have just gained 2 step-sons of my own…finding more stepmoms the harder I search. I’m glad you had a nice evening with your family. It is the unexpected moments that make it all worth while.
