Just Your Average {Aspiring Kennedy's} Day

I think in blogging

its easy to make this space

a haven for venting.

We use the term "keeping it real"

to gripe and complain

about things...

and honestly, I try to not do that here.

You guys have enough going on in your own life...

you don't need to hear about my own drama

and honestly, it's a good mental exercise

for me to find a nice element of life

and savour it a little here.

I really believe that almost every single day has those moments.

In the midst of what has been a really hectic and not-so-awesome week

mixed with getting sick, work junk and spending last night in the hospital with a student,

I was starting to get dragged down into Snarkyville.

But all it took was spending

 the afternoon with people who are happy

and a surprise run-in with

 Tyler at the grocery store to get me back in stride.

Suddenly, life seems okay again.

Actually, it's better than okay.

It's really good.

Our Christmas Card after moving into our first home, 2008.

I'm sitting here with a giant belly

half-full of babies & half-

full of chinese food

while I watch 30 Rock

 and nurse a bloody nose.

{Editor's note: Now that is keeping it real, folks.}

Life isn't always perfect...

but man, most days are pretty good, aren't they?

Here's to good normal days...

and the occasional glorious ones

captured in the moments below.
