As I look out at the greening of the backyard, the first notes of flowers breaking soil in the front yard, the street cleaners swiping up the winter in the streets and the snowy peaks still reminding us of a few more cool days, I feed my family the "Thanksgiving Casserole" (the real reason we make SO MUCH FOOD in November) with cheesy-garlic biscuits to warm our spring souls. I give thanks thinking back to the past year's trials and triumphs in a relocation and really can say how happy and rich we are (even if not monetarily). From good times spent in Whitefish with both old friends and new, I am just so thankful to be living in such a faboulously diverse and beautiful area that we can ski a bluebird day in Whitefish, drive lazily around Khuai-blue Flathead impressed with the enormity of the Misson and Swan Ranges and then float the meandering Bitteroot the next day. And doing this ALL WITH KIDS (even avoiding the 140$ day of babysitting!)! Also thankful for the wonderful group of women that trotted up into the Mountains with dark clouds looming to enjoy running in the woods, creating unique nature-boards all while enjoying cold Biga Pizza and 9 kids! I just have to say how greatful I am to have the life I am living right now, the family and community around me, and the support and love of a fabulous father to my healthy, (mostly) happy children!
Ok, I am also on a PMS high right now, but hormones are good, right?
