Grateful for Nate...

I may have said this before but I'm just really grateful for Nate in my life.  When I say such things he asks me how much I've had to drink.  I usually say "a lot - you're expensive" but it's just plain true.  He's a kind and sweet soul and I feel completely at ease and free to be my entire silly self with him.  He's a gift to know and if you are lucky enough to know him, take a moment to enjoy him just a little bit more... even if he is slacking on his own blog.  ;-)  A good heart and an honest soul are more rare than I once believed so I'm glad to have his in my life.

Now, off to finish that bottle.  <3

Boys will be boys

I am very grateful to have a nephew and even more grateful to have a new nephew coming in the next three weeks! My nephew, David Junior, turned 3 in September and is the same age that I was when my brother was born. He has a lot of the same characteristics that I did at that age. He is very rough, physically, and demands a lot of attention. He has heard a lot about his little brother Sam and I think that it is starting to irritate him. It didn't take long for me to start roughhousing with and picking on my brother, and I think that David is going to follow in my footsteps, unfortunately.

I guess all that I can say is beware, and don't let those two in the same room alone!
