A Pair of Angel Wings

I went for my much needed walk yesterday.
I somehow managed to walk much further than I had initially anticipated, but it helped to clear my mind and it made me feel good about myself. Even though it started to rain on me I just kept going.
On our driveway we have these strange "dry spots" where when it rains they still look dry and light in color. I don't know if something spilt there, maybe oil? On my walk I stumbled across this little dry spot on the sidewalk in our neighborhood that caught my eye. I looked at it and just kept walking.... took a few steps but then turned around for another look. To me, I could not help to think that this little dry spot looks an awful lot like a pair of angel wings. Maybe I'm crazy, I don't know? I never though that i'd be one of those people that saw signs from above on a piece of toast or in a cloud but I also was never one to look for those things. I am beginning to see that there might be some reason that I keep seeing these signs, there is definitely a pattern going on. 
My eyes have been opened and I believe that if you slow down and "stop and smell the roses" that there are things that you will see, that might have been there the whole time but were just overlooked.

Lessons From the Road

1) My husband is an expert at eating sunflower seeds. Almost squirrel like he stored a hand full of seeds in his cheek, cracked, chewed and spit the shells into an empty Krystal box for hours at a time. After knowing this man for eight years I never knew he had this talent. He attempted to explain the seed eating process to me, but I'm just not that  coordinated. Along with lobster, shrimp and other nuts I just don't see the point of all of the effort it takes to get to a piece of meat or a nut so small. His lovely "spit box" 2) Hotel hair dryers are not normal. No matter where you are. Even at the nicest hotels they still manage to frizz and fry. Don't get me wrong I never leave home without my own personal hairdryer but for some reason I always want to try that cute little convenient one mounted to the wall. (Hotel Dryer) (My Dryer) 3) Never trust a seagull. These birds are mean and they will poop on you. Just lying on the...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...
