Simple Joys

A common exclamation at home in Benson is, "Sunrise alert!" or "Sunset alert!" And I'll be honest, Arizona does have beautiful sunrises & sunsets. But this morning I think I saw the most beautiful sunrise ever. I had to call 3 different phones to get in touch with mom and dad but when I did, it was so fun to say, "Sunrise alert!" I was so happy as I drove to work, watching the clouds & sky & mountains and talking to my parents. A simple joy...but it made me smile all day!

I love apples. Granny Smith are my favorite. But I don't like to eat apples unless they are already cut up. I was getting my lunch ready this morning and couldn't find the apple slicer. I had a small panic attack! Amy told me it was in the dishwasher and she'd had it at work for a while. I was happy to know I didn't have to cut my apple with a knife, or worse yet, eat it whole. As I ate my cut up apple at work, I sent Amy a text and told her how happy I was to eat my cut up apple! Another simple joy.

I got a cute text today from a really cute boy. Part of it said, "When do I get to see you again?" How adorable is that? (Gavin, I know you'll read this, so just know your text was another simple joy!) I love finding simple things that make life so happy!
