Cloud 9

Have you ever had such a good day that there's really nothing that could go wrong that could ruin it for you? It's when it seems everything is just great no matter what. I've been trying to put my finger on what exactly it is that makes you feel this way so that I can live on cloud 9 all the time.


Perhaps I feel this way because the reality of Aaron and Owen's adoption is finally here. It means no more clearing vacations with social workers, I can hire whatever baby sitter I want, our last names will all be the same so the lady at the pharmacy won't look so confused when I pick up prescriptions, but I think mostly it's just that we will all get to be together forever no questions asked.


But then it's also that I actually won something in a giveaway! Yes I know, I never win anything. And this was a really great giveaway, so great that there were over 780 entries from all over the world. Seriously?! And I won! I love this blog. She makes the coolest things and has the greatest projects. Her blog is one inspiration after another. I just recieved my giveaway package yesterday evening. Mike brought it in with the mail.

How cool is that?! I won two Moda honey buns from V & Co. "Sweet" and "Swanky". Let me just tell you they are cuter in person than they are in the picture. Now I get to day dream about what I might use them for. I need to unroll them to get a better idea of the fabrics, but I just can't bring myself to do that yet. They are just too cute all bundled up with their tags and Moda ties on them. I have left them sitting out and I just smile everytime I look at them.

Well, I guess I would have to say that perhaps cloud 9 is a combination of being blessed and being lucky. And those are two different things to me. The boys are blessings from heaven, carefully guided to my home and the fabric is simply a lucky draw that made my day. I'm not sure I can rig my life to be on cloud 9 all the time, but it sure it nice to be here every once and a while.
