Don't ya think?

While moving a few things out of Allison's storage this morning, an ironing board literally fell out of the storage unit, landing at my feet.
Bending down to pick it up I asked, "Are we taking this?"
She answered, "Yes! I have actually moved that ironing board from one house to the next and then into the storage and now we'll take it to my new place!"

She continued, "Of course I've never actually ironed anything on it. OH the IRONY!!"

I love her.

It all works together for good....

I am getting ready to go meet Allison and help her move some things into her new place today. She's moving closer to her great new job--and will be about a block from the beach too! On top of it all, she's heading back to Kenya next week--for six weeks--so we'll have to move the rest of her things when she gets back and can get settled into her new life

in Corona Del Mar!

Can I just tell you how much I love this woman? I know it sounds crazy, but I always kinda feel like we grew up together! Though I think it should be against the law to get pregnant at 18, I gotta admit, it can actually work out pretty nicely. Especially in the long run.
I am so proud of who Allison is (and actually has always been...): an amazingly wonderful, life-loving person who's happy and friendly and funny--and always a blast to be around! She's an incredibly hard worker...and whether she's in Kenya or Newport Beach, she is working to make the world a better place...and, always making people smile.

She is someone that I truly admire.
How lucky am I?
Life is good today.
Yeah, every day.

Things that make me smile! (Part One)

Oh, I asked for one...and enjoyed it immensely! (Nonfat, no whip!)
Oh man...soon there will be pumpkins at the supermarket (and on my front porch!) and pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread and pumpkin ice cream!
I can't wait to wear a sweater again.
