Fortunate Friday

January 22, 2011 by Jenn

Today my parents left to head to Minneapolis to see their new Granddaughter.  I am incredibly happy for their happiness.

I don’t think my mom has ever been this happy!

And my dad too of course, but he’s a man.   They don’t show those emotions 😉

I hope that the family, minus me, has a great time together.

I’m at home (had to move into my parents to look after that Pug of mine), looking after Grandma (real, 96 year old Grandma, not 63 year old Grandma).  I have a very busy week ahead: teaching spinning, hosting a party on a school night (**gasp**), and my cake classes on Wednesday and Thursday, and Thursday night, I’m off to Vancouver!   Oh how I love thee, Vancouver!

I’m fortunate that my family’s happiness is surrounding baby Elsa.

I’m fortunate that my parents are able to be a part of my baby brother’s first weeks of parenting.  I imagine that as a parent, it would be pretty amazing to see your child, have a child.

I have to stop.  I’m getting teary.

I’m fortunate to have such a great family.

Here’s one that’s not emotional:  I am fortunate that when I lent out my cupcake currier, I got it back!  On time!  Thank you for restoring my faith in people.

What are YOU fortunate for?
