MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL

This weekend was great...... hectic.....but great. We set out to find mirrors for our upper level bathrooms and what we didn't realize is how hard it was going to be to find what we were looking for. Every store we went to had gold mirrors, which is not what our preference is, so you guessed it! We looked some more. We probably went to about 9 or 10 different home stores before we finally found exactly what we were looking for.

Sunday we enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. Even though it wasn't the best played game, it was quite entertaining with all the fumbles and the rain. We were thrilled for Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy and the rest of the Colts for winning the Super Bowl. I think the Colts had a storybook ending to a long season full of ups and downs... it was their time. Hopefully it stopped all of the critics from ripping on the Colts and Peyton, once and for all.

We also wanted to take a moment to say a prayer for the victims of the tornadoes in Florida. The damage has been estimated at $68 million dollars. It really makes us stop and appreciate what we have. We know we ARE truly blessed. We are thankful and take comfort in many of the simple things that many take for granted, things that millions of people can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower. We make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility. With courage in our heart and God by our side, we take a stand, we take a deep breath, and we begin to design the life we want and to live it as best as we can because we never know what tomorrow might bring.
