A relaxing day...

We just got home after a long day out...we spent the day just driving around getting last minute things done. We had sets of keys made for everyone that will be popping in for us while we are gone..we went and had a long visit with Mike's mom since she had the house to herself for the night. It was a great visit with her.
I actually had some really good contractions today that we had to start timing, but they did go away. The real kind. The kind that makes you remember being in the hospital doing this before..and I was thinking sheesh! I don't know if I am ready for this pain again so soon! They did taper off though and we settled for just the rest of the day to be a relaxing one.

We took Matthew up to the hilltop again tonight to show him the city lights. He loves it up there! I stayed in the car while him and daddy just watched the daylight go down and the sky light up with lights..

We then came home and I went on my boards to read up on a few things, and Mike got Matthew ready for bed. I went in and said my goodnights, and when I came back out to the sofa and lifted my laptop...look what I found:



Now I do have to admit, I have alot of down in this house. I have a down filled bedspread, and a few throw pillows that have feathers in them..but I don't recall the last time I have ever found just a stray feather laying around the house.

I looked at Mike and then picked up the feather and said.."This is really something here." He tried to understand my version of finding the white feather story and just nodded and smiled at me. I know he is probably thinking I am nuts..but I have always loved hearing the stories of people finding the white feather, and just to hear what they were doing at the time of finding it really means something. I admit I was always a bit jealous thinking, "Wow..I have never found one, but would really love to!"
And..well..I found one tonight. How about that?
