Today's letter for the day is "R"

Ten things I love about "R" as assigned by Chris

1. Relationships - I have no doubt that the reports are true, you'd die young without relationships.
2. Respect - Sometimes you never really know how important that is until you feel its missing, but at least it makes you appreciate it when it is there. I hope to teach the boys especially how important this is for their futures, in everyday life, but most importantly in their relationships!
3. Redo - Be it in miniature golf or just in life in general, we all need a redo once in awhile. Thankfully we get them all the time, its called tomorrow (though, yes, they are limited.)
4. Rabbits - or at least the chocolate or marshmallow ones. Easter is my favorite holiday, being able to get together as a larger family unit and seeing the kids having so much fun just has so much joy and memories attached.
5. Reality TV - yeah we're hooked on it in our house, just about any of it will do, its kinda sad how addicted we are.
6. Railroads - my grandfather worked for them, I've always lived within a half mile of 1. I feel tied to them. And its always been fun when we've taken the boys on trains, that was part of the excursions! And my Chessie blanket from my Pop-Pop will always me a treasured keepsake!
7. Randomness - Yeah, things seem to come out of nowhere with me. A thought will jump all around and then what comes out of my mouth is totally off the original topic, its hard for people to follow. But I kinda like being that way, people don't know what to expect, and sometimes that randomness leads to pleasant surprises. (and we can't forget RANDOM acts of kindness....)
8. Rain - I love hearing the rain fall and the smell it leaves afterwards, especially in the summer, it cleanses and brings forth life. Its great to just stay home and wear pajamas all day during wet weather, it gives an excuse to be a little lazy and indulgent. I love the memories of looking for rainbows with my Mom, and watching lighting storms with my Dad.
9. Rambunctiousness - I love the little jumping bean that I gave birth to a little over 3 years ago. Where he gets all the energy from I wish I knew, I could use some of it (oh, wait, he probably took it from me!)
10 . Rapture - The awe on JJ's face when 1 of us comes home, or when he discovers something new, is amazing. It will completely take you back and make you a kid again!
