Random thoughts and happenings...

I just have random things going through my head today so I thought I'd just type..

First of all, yesterday it felt like we were on Candid Camera. My DH, Kevin, likes to save a buck. So he picked out a restaurant for us to eat dinner b/c we had a BOGOF coupon. It was a little out of the way, but it was Mexican and we thought, "what the heck?" We drove all the way there and it was out of business.

Well, we decided to drive to another restaurant near there that we have eaten at many times (we also had a BOGOF coupon there). We drove there and guess what? CLOSED! This is the same place where my friends kicked off my bachlorette party 9 years ago so it had been in business a long time. Not any more...

We ended up eating at a place right by our house. We could have done that 1.5 hours earlier.

I'm also having a moment tonight of really trying to treasure my family and love them as they are b/c I know they could be gone any minute. We just watched "Premonition" and really liked it. But it's very sad. I also just had an email from a teacher at my school. Her nephew and wife were taking their daughter away to college this weekend. The 18 year old and her 13 year old brother were in one car and the parents were behind them. The kids were involved in a fatal accident right in front of the parents; both kids were killed instantly. I'm feeling so, so sad for them all right now.

Kevin, Lena, & I may not have a perfect life all the time but it's our life and we love each other very much. I know that anything could happen to them (or me) at any time and I just want to treasure them each day. They are my world.
