And I saw you in the midst of all this craziness yesterday! I hope not ALL of your days are like this...
I am tired just reading this! I saw you running this morning down 600 West and thought you looked like a rockstar!! You are amazing :)
This post made me tired. Good luck with all of that!
I have so many comments for this post. First of all, it brought back so many memories when I lived at your house for a week... I, of course, made hats, not hairbows... and I didn't go running or kiss my husband goodbye, but it did remind me of how crazy busy and tired I was all week long. You, my sweet sister in law, live one busy life!! Second. I am reminded of Olivia telling me- no less than ten times- that we can't be late for dance! Third. I loved your grand finale!! I am usually busy all day long and never feel like I get much crossed off my list. But I whole-heartedly agree with you... I would MUCH rather be busy than bored. Hands down. I guess that's why the weekends are sooo sweet. Don't wear yourself out too much! Love you!
That is quite the schedule! I agree with Amber, makes us appreciate the weekends!
