Wednesday thoughts........

Time is such a crazy thing. Some days major life events like births, deaths, and marriages seem like they are/were forever ago and other times it feels like yesterday. The other day I had a short conversation with a friend about how smells can trigger event flashbacks.
The smell of Old Spice aftershave always makes me think of my dad, all dressed up for church or an event (and trust me it was a major event if my dad fixed his hair and threw on the old spice, lol). If I catch a wiff of my grandma's laundry detergent concoction (she mixes special soaps/smells together) it reminds me of spending the night with her when I was little, and Crystal and I fighting to stay away til the midnight train passed through Irondale (which was always before midnight, thank goodness).
I love the smell of Ashlyn after a bath and she's all lotioned down in baby lotion. I can't get enough snuggle time, sticking my nose in between her shoulder and neck and listening to her giggle. :)
I know that things that seem like they take forever will feel like a blink of an eye sometime down the road. I can't believe I have already been married a little over a year! The 1st year flew by! My step-kids are growing like weeds and Ashlyn learns something new every single day. I feel so blessed, I have wonderful step-kids, a loving, devoted husband, a new beautiful daughter, a great job, a wonderful family, and awesome friends. I am truly greatful to be so blessed! Okay, okay... thats my Wednesday thoughts! :) (thanks for my 2 new followers!) ;)
