This morning I wake up to find that Farrah Fawcett passed away after a long battle with cancer. I can't imagine her struggle and I hope she has some relief now. Then as we arrive at Ben's parents' house for dinner, I get a voicemail from my sister saying Michael Jackson has died after a cardiac arrest. All scandals aside, he was an incredible entertainer, and so many of his songs remind me of specific times in my life. I always think of how Ben explains why he likes High School Musical so much, because a lot of the songs and dances (mainly Zac Efron's parts) remind him of MJ. I know he had quite the childhood, I hope at some point before his death he was able to feel the comfort only Jesus can bring. I can't wait to play his songs for Thatcher and to try and dance with him to "Thriller." :)
Speaking of Thatcher...I looooove spending every day with him. Of course I find some relief during his nap times, when I can scramble to eat or jump in the shower, but then at night I find myself wanting to go in his room and pick him up just to cuddle. I almost did that last night, but Ben said no :)
I can already tell this summer is going to FLY by. We have wedding 3 of 4 coming up, my birthday, our vacation, 6 month check up and pictures, bridal shower, birthday parties, our 5th anniversary, possible canoe trip, and wedding 4 of 4 just to name a few...yikes! I need to remind myself to sloooow down sometimes, and to always thank God for every moment of every jam packed summer day.
