Beautiful Day

In case you've been living under a rock, we had some pretty severe weather around here earlier in the week. We were spared any damage and I don't personally know anyone who dealt with the devastation from those storms on Wednesday, but I have been emotionally affected by this event. This feels like it was very close to home for me. And in some ways it was. My home state, Alabama, is a mess! My heart aches for those destroyed communities and the families that lost loved ones. Please, just keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

All of that to say, that today's beautiful weather was not taken for granted. I had a few errands to run this afternoon. We went to the bank first to make a deposit and on our way from the bank to Kohl's (so I could make a return), I made a last minute decision to take Etta to the park. We were only there for about 30 minutes and I didn't get to make my return to Kohl's today, but it was so worth it to be out there in the sunshine with my kid!

After we got home, I started to make dinner. Then Keith arrived home and we made the decision to dine al fresco. It was a pretty perfect day.
