Oh Happy Day.

It's funny how the definition of 'a spectacular evening' changes from one stage of life to the next.

Ten years ago it was running around Clear Lake with my girlfriends from church, maybe a slumber party, maybe playing pranks on the guys we hung out with.

Five years ago it was having my girlfriends over for 'weight watchers night' dinner and watching Grey's Anatomy in my first apartment in Huntsville, Texas.

Nowadays it's Ben and I getting home about the same time, eating dinner together at the table with Betsy, having family play time in the playroom, watching the sweet girl pick up every doll in her bedroom to give it a hug and a kiss before bed, snuggling Bets until she falls asleep, watching Big Bang Theory uninterrupted, and getting to sleep in the same bed with my husband all night because Betsy's teething pain doesn't hurt so bad and we don't have to share the bed with her anymore.

I wonder what life will look like in another five years.
