...to leave the front door open and watch Grace flit in and out like a little butterfly. I grew up in the Midwest and spent the past two years in the Midwest. I love the Midwest, but you can't do this in the Midwest. Here I can leave my door open for hours and not see a single bug. It makes me happy.I was evaluating my New Year's goals, since we are nearing the end, and I'm feeling pretty good about my progress. In 2010 I want to find happiness and love in every single day. Check.

Great. As soon as I opened up your post sentimentality dripped right off the screen and got all over the table. I need to go get some cynicism or something to clean it up with. Thanks a lot.
Oh I do envy you. To have a yard!! Funny that you mention the bugs. After I read your post our door to the balcony was open and coming inside was some strange Georgia bug. So tell me why you love the Midwest? There is a good chance we will be there for a couple years and I want to know what you like about it.
Lovely. Oh how I wish that we had a screen door - or that I lived in the West where I could keep the door open and let Ella "flit in and out." As it is though, I'm very happy where we live (even though I miss you like crazy most every day). Someday we'll make it back out to the west.
Britta, you have inspired me to be more happy. Life has been a little hard for me lately, but I am going to make a goal to find more happiness in life. Thank you for the inspiration!
You CAN leave the door open in the midwest...you just need a screen door. Plus, I KNOW they have flies in Utah...you've had to been getting some of those.
not see a single bug... except for the little butterfly, right? (are butterflies bugs? maybe not)
I was singing the creepy stalker song in the shower today & thought of you. (<-- i'll just leave it riiiight there.) :D
"We are in a story.. (a land of make believe)
BELIEVE what's in this story!!"
Ha ha! I can't even remember all the words or even much melody, but it's still creepy.
"...you don't know my name... but we're destined all the same!"
You should publish it.
