a little extra love

Today was a long day...who am I kidding this month has been a long month. for the 4 weeks we've been home from our cruise I've been in either Ephraim or Rangely doing hair, with hair apts in-between, and laundry, and cleaning, and trying to be a fun mom and wife, and I guess I just got a little fried! I'm crazy thankful for the opportunity I have to help financially and do hair because besides the extra money we need, I absolutely LOVE doing hair! Anyway long story short, some days ya just don't feel too appreciated for the millions of things you try to squeeze into a day and that was me today. As I sat and rocked Taya tonight (one of my best therapies) I sang I'm a child of God. As I sang the part "with parents kind and dear" and rocked her I got overwhelming feeling that my Dad was close and was aware I was feeling sad. I cried and remembered how he'd rock me as a little girl and make me feel so loved. He could always make a bad day better, and I missed him so bad. Then after I got done cleaning the house and taking a shower, I walked into our room to find this...

Derek doesn't know it yet but when I saw the flowers I started to bawl. They remind me so much of my Dad. I knew Dad had been a little part of a much needed boost from my sweet husband. It was the perfect "little thing" that I needed to feel appreciated and loved and will make for a much better day tomorrow. I feel blessed.
