Bring Your Own Sunshine

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine."  ~Anthony J. D'Angelo

A few months ago, Chris brought it to my attention that I was being so negative that it was difficult to be around me. At the time my feelings were obviously hurt. I cried. I didnt think I was 'that' person; I didnt want to be that person. But after a painful look in the mirror, I realized that he was right. Sometimes, I do dwell on negative things. Sometimes its just a rant that I need to get off my chest, but often times it was more than that. This morning though, while I was laying in bed with my beautiful family I realized that I've changed. Over the last few months, I've made a concious effort to be more positive. Over the last week or so though, its come as second nature. I didnt have to try. I just found myself being in a better mood, enjoying my life more and talking/thinking happier things.

I wanted to share this because I think everyone could use a little reminder that sometimes you just have to look at the good in your life. The grass isnt always greener on the other side. Life is good. :)

With that being said, Chris and I had the most wonderful day yesterday. He is so good to me. 2 days ago I lost our controller...  he bet me he could find it in under 5 minutes. (I had already looked under the couch, in the office, in the spare bedrooms, in both bathrooms, in the pantry, in the trash can, in the dryer, and in the fridge and freezer...) Of course, he found it in under 20 seconds... it was in the couch.... I just had to laugh.

Around 3, Chris and I hit fuego for a margarita & some guac. I LOVE Fuego. Its AMAZING. Their Watermelon Cucumber Margarita is the best thing ever. I am developing a plan to have these served as a specialty drink at our wedding. Im thinking if I offer to pay the bartender there a couple hunderd dollars, plus tips, surely she will bartend our wedding (and keep my margarita glass full!)

After Fuego, we took our time getting home. We cuddled up on the couch and watched "Life As We Know It." About 45 minutes into the movie, I noticed Mobley wasnt on the couch anymore, and he wasnt anywhere in sight. I was worried that he may have been eating my shoes and Chris says "No, I threw my jeans over your shoes so he couldnt get to them." We watched the movie for about another 30 seconds before Chris paused it and said he was going ot check on Mobs.  Thank GOD he did! Mobley had pulled Chris' wallet out of his jeans, opened it up and started eating the contents. When we saw it, we just laughed. I know it wasnt that funny, and we shouldnt encourage him, but what else could we do? Cry? Luckily he didnt eat the money in his wallet (that I wasnt supposed to know about, he was putting extra up for a ring. He is so sweet!) But when we caught him, he had Kim & John's check for MOT Tickets in his mouth. Thankfully, we got it before he shredded it;  That would have been the second time I ruined their check. No real damage was done, except that he shredded the little paper in Chris' wallet that had the Ring # and my ring size written down on it. Ha, Like I said, sometimes all you can do is laugh.

Though I dont think today will be quite as exciting as yesterday, Im making the best of it. Today is "Bring Mobley to Work Day." & Those are always good days. I love the way he sleeps on my desk. He really is a good dog, even though he likes to shred paper...

I hope everybody has an amazing weekend. ONE MORE WEEK TILL INCA! & Remember to bring your own sunshine this week!
