Since moving in with gramps, life has slowed down a lot.
It has been refreshing to have more time for school and wifely duties.
But sometimes.. my days seem monotonous and to be quite honest, a little bland.
It is during those long days when my mind is filled with the idea that Kevin and I should be traveling the world,
or on some crazy adventure.
I mean, it's the perfect time right? No kids. We're young and free. I have a light school load this semester...
Well at one point during all this fantasizing, I got sucked into the black hole (Pinterest) again.
When suddenly this quote punched me in the face, and I realized how true it was.
Life isn't about the escapades or peculiar experiences, it's about "finding joy in the ordinary."
Whenever I think that Levi and I aren't "living life to the fullest" I realize that just living our normal life IS living to the fullest. I may not have memories of us globetrotting, but I do get to spend my time with him eating pizza and watching Arrested Development...which is JUST AS GOOD! :0
