This one goes out to you Dad!

Today started out pretty uneventful - if you call carpooling, running errands, getting poop from a diaper on my hand without any sanitizer in sight yada yada uneventful. But, if I admit it, most every day is crazy like that, and hence... uneventful. I took the girls to achievement days tonight and after I dropped them off I decided that I was going to go and run around the lake.
Well, I had a such a sweet experience as I was going around the lake tonight. Right as I was about to turn a corner, my cute little dad came cruising by on his new Diamond Back bike. Crazy that we were both there at the same time. So, I picked up my stride (let's pretend I was running 7 minute miles) so that I would hopefully run into my dad as we were both finishing the lake. Sure enough we met up again and talked for a few minutes. When I got in the car (no joke) the song "Don't Blink" was playing on the country radio channel. I got teary eyed as I thought about how lucky I am to live near my parents and see them as often as I do. I just really felt so grateful for both my mom and dad.... so day over... chalk it up to Eventful!
