smell the flowers...

So first and foremost, an update on Nonni! She's doing great, she has been breathing on her own for long periods of time (like 6 hours) and seems to finally be on the road to recovery! Now, it's going to be a very LONG road but we've all been able to breathe a little sigh of relief the past few days.

Nothing too exciting has been happening with the Wrights lately except I just feel like we've been SUPER busy. Chris and I were finally able to spend a good bit of quality time together this past weekend which was nice. I never realized how important quality time was before I got married. I always thought that words of affirmation was my love language but I've been realizing more and more that quality time is so important. I'm also realizing how important quality relationships are. It's like once I got married (which by the way, it's almost been a whole year!) this flipped switched and my priorities started to fall in line. Work is no longer at the top of the list...I mean, I enjoy my job and I want to do a good job but it's not my life. Life is made up of the important things- God, family, friends, laughter, etc. Sometimes even the smallest things make life that much better, like waking up each morning and hearing your husband tell you that he loves you, or going for a good long run and clearing your mind. I think I'm rambling but I just feel like I'm learning so many lessons...about myself and how I want my life to be lived. God first, others second, my own interests last. I don't want to take the small things for granted and I want to enjoy every moment that the Lord blesses me with. A "take time to stop and smell the flowers" kind of attitude I guess!
