Today, started with a freak occurence. I heard Harper crying over the baby monitor. After losing rock paper scissors, I got up to get her and bring her to our bed. When I slowly opened door I heard a thud. I fully opened the door to see my darling Harper standing next to it and out of the crib. How? What! Who? Was she okay. She seemed ok. Didn't seem concussed. I check for broken bones, there were none. Still trying to figure that one out.Church was great today. Pastor Mark continued his series on fullfilling your dreams and realizing God's plan for our lives. He talked a lot about the story of Jonathan versus the Phillistines and how it's important for us to just do it. Have courage. Step out on faith. I've stepped out on the ledge a lot, for the right and the wrong reasons. It's very important to think about what you really want to do, dream big and don't hesitate. He who waits, loses.We finally tasted sweet victory on the kickball field today. It was great, our team played solid offensively and defensively and avenged our worst loss of the season. I only wished I would have to talked to more people about the upcoming spring season registration. This season has been a weird one, while all the teams have gone to the league bar at least once, it's harder to get temperature of everyone. Maybe it's a good sign, I was so sure that a lot of people were going to sign up from last season and I only got 13 people. Just gotta get the word out more for the upcoming season.I'm going to close with a great quote I saw on the Happiness Project blog in an interview with Chip Heath:"Experiences are good; but why are they better than things? One reason is that we adapt to things so quickly. After devoting days to selecting the perfect hardwood floor to install in a new condo, homebuyers find their once beloved Brazilian cherry floors quickly become nothing more than the unnoticed ground beneath their feet. In contrast, their memory of seeing a baby cheetah at dawn on an African safari continues to provide delight.”2011, experience it!
