Simplicity

The weekend went by too quickly. We had Morgan's birthday party on Saturday, and I truly enjoyed spending time with our family and friends. Later that night, Chris and I went to the theater to watch Star Trek. We both enjoyed the movie, as well as our time spent together. I received a call from my little brother Jacob as well. I hadn't heard his voice in such a long time that I almost didn't recognize his voice. I knew my time speaking with him would be brief, therefore, I told him that I loved him and that he was always on my mind. I am satisfied with hearing his voice, and am hopeful that I will hear from him again.

Today I opened my eyes to find a room devoid of the sunshine that I was beginning to become accustomed to. However, I was determined not to allow it to effect my sunny disposition. We went to Toys R Us to purchase a Nintendo DS for Morgan, as she had accumulated enough money from her birthday party. She was thrilled to play her new game. Ayva was sad that she did not acquire any new toys this weekend. With great difficulty, we explained to her that she would receive gifts when it was her birthday. To cheer her up, I played hide-and-seek with her in the house, and allowed the girls to play with their moon sand.

It was an ordinary day, but beautiful nonetheless.
