Remember when we made time to laugh and fly kites?

I was looking through some old photos today and I came across a lovely memory I had forgotten. Back in February of 2012 my sister invited us to go to the museum in Raleigh with her and to fly kites! I remember the museum was cool, and it was one of the best days of my life! Such a simple, beautiful, day.

Jake and I were so young back then! We didn’t know a thing about life. Has it really been four years y’all? I think it was pretty cold and our kites were cheap, but the wind was perfect and we had a blast. I have so many questions though. Why didn’t I visit my sister and family more often when I was in college, when they were in college, and after we graduated? Why did I waste time on frivolous things? Why haven’t I been to a museum since? Why haven’t I touched a kite since? I need to learn how to live again. Jake and I don’t do fun stuff unless someone else invites us. Even then we feel guilty relaxing or having a good time. Back in 2o12 we had no idea where our lives were going or how complicated things would get! But regardless, I need more days like these.

As soon as my son gets here, we are definitely gonna fly some kites! I am praying he gets here for fall, my favorite season. I can just picture us in a field with kites and hot chocolates. : )

So I made a video with my pictures from this day on my youtube channel. These pictures won’t be as meaningful to everyone else, but at least chill out and listen to the music and think of some simple, beautiful, wonderful days with loved ones that mean everything to you, and come up with some ideas to bring that joy into your life more often. : )
