Family, Fun and memories

I had an awesome weekend with my husband and my 2 girls this weekend.  It was filled with many family memories, and a lot of fun.  We watched my mom get married this weekend and seeing the look of happiness on her face made us all happy despite the fact that it's a little weird to be thirty and now have a stepdad.  We spent time with my best friend and her husband, and then spent time with my husbands family.  We bbq'd and ate good food, had good conversation, and a lot of laughter.  Now isn't that what life is about??  This weekend we had not a care in the world.  My 1 year old was running around with the "big kids" and jumping in the jumper and to see how such a simple thing made her so happy was amazing.  It doesn't take a ton of money to make people happy it really is just about the simple things in life.  This weekend was a reality check that I needed.  We were all so happy and we were in our own backyard.  Playing, running, laughing, joking and just being with the people who care about us the most.  I am so happy and thankful to have family and friends.  I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend too.  Take time out to smell the roses.
