small things

It has been a busy week.  Probably the most stressful I've had in a long time.  I love knowing when I come home that I will eventually get to spend a few minutes with Troy to share our day's events.  I love hearing him joke about the obnoxious people in line at the post office, or Lacey's excitement when she saw the Carl's Jr playplace slide out the window of the car, and even his frustrations of the day.  It puts me back into perspective.  We all have tough times, we all have good times, and we all have times that are simply "eh."   Then I love being able to share my day with him, to let him know of how good it feels to be home, to feel some peace, to have him near.

These brief minutes at the end of each day add up.  They define "us" more so than any vacation or 2nd honeymoon or whatever.  Although, those things are wonderful when they come around as well.  I am reminded of a beautiful verse, "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." (Alma 37:6)
