Well today i had hopes for cleaning. ALways my high hopes have to do with cleaning and it is NEVER all clean so i am not sure why I stress out so much! Well today i talked to Dori and John for about an hour. Checking up on baby Gabriella. She is making slow progress, but at least she is alive. that was a very scary day last Friday! Well i took our new jogger stroller out for a walk. Sadly this is probably one of the last days we can do that before it gets to darn hot. I know that MD is hot, but today jenn said the Blue bells are covering the forest floor and the pink blossoms are glittering the streets!! I long to be somewhere that looks like that. I really think that Europe has done this to me. Visiting the country side of France, England and Scotland just allowed me to set my sights very high. I NEED THAT. I want to breathe that in every day!! When she was telling me that my stomach was getting knots in it. I want that as part of my life. I imagine driving down the country roads seeing beauty like that and BLASTING my radio to Secret Garden or BELIEVE it or NOT, Motab choir. I love uplifting music when i drive. That can usually make me cry because i feel God's LOVE ALL AROUND me during times like that. One fo my best memories was driving in England with jason's family, totally zoned out listening to a kind of a somber song from Secret Garden and just dreaming. I couldn't dream enough at that moment. Then my dream came true when we landed at the COTSWOLDS. I love that place and that is our goal to live their for one year with our kids. Jason says London, I say Cotswolds. Anyway today is Friday and mom and dad can't babysit tonight, so I think that we will either have to load up the van and go eat or take out from somewhere. i feel like Sultan's Grill. Who know!
bye bye.

oh, i couldnt agree with you more!!! i try so hard to make our pitiful desert yard in to something lush and gorgeous with gardens and all! that is our dream too, one day!!!
i hope that little baby starts doing better!!! it makes me so sad to hear about babies that are fighting to stay alive!! :(
Great post. I love those dreamy times when the music just fits the landspape and everything seems perfectly beautiful and right with the world. You will have many days like that out here.... Right now with all the rain every color looks photoshopped and vibrant. Nothing could compare with the English countryside though with it cottages, stone walls and sheep. Promise to take me with you when you go.
Hurry up Sis!
I also LOVE beautiful places, and nothing tops it off like beautiful music! GET OUT HERE!
Well you better figure it out soon! I want you there. I need to get that Secret Garen CD I always remember the story about that drive!
You have no idea how much i'm like you regarding driving with music. I know that most everyone enjoys driving with music but i absolutely LOVE IT!! I agree with you. I really enjoy driving listening to uplifting music. Doesn't have to motab necessarily. I have a few bands that really make me see the good in life and i could listen to them all freakin day. But yeah, MD is where it's at. I NEED to live there asap. Utah is just as pretty, but it just isn't the same. When you drive through the trees of maryland you feel like you're the only one on the road. Ah, i miss it. I'm jealous of all you punks. Good post Jekka.
I know what you mean...I love listening to beautiful music and enjoying a pretty drive:) The Cotswolds were fun! I had the best sandwhich there...ha ha...Ash makes fun of me b/c I always remember food:) Hope to see you guys soon!
Random question-would you mind helping me pick out fabric for crib bedding? You have such great nurseries, I could use a lil help from a pro:) I have a friend that will make it for me, so I'm thinkin' why not?
After reading your post, I want to go to Europe! I have family roots in Scotland, and it's for sure a "bucket list" want.
I'm glad that little one is still hanging in there.. Thanks for the update.
So are you moving to join the compound too? he-he
Ann, You better believe it. It is like a dream come true, but my husband has wanted to live there is whole life. He is SEARCHING for a job. Can you believe it? I will have all my sibs and these sis's are to die for!!!
