36 Days today...

Steven comes home in 36 days. We are so excited that I almost can't stand it. He's climbing the walls too. For those who might not know, Steven is my oldest child. He's 21 and currently a guest of the Arizona Department of Corrections. He had a few "lost" years and is dealing with the consequenses. I am so proud of how he has handled all of the challenges he has faced in the last three years. If you knew him you would be too. It will be such a comfort having him back in the arms of his family. I am going to pick him up in Safford on January 12th. It's going to be a long drive home for just the two of us that I am really looking forward to. I am so glad that we are getting an opportunity to support him and help him get a new start. I guess we need to pick up another chair for the dining room table. It'll be Smith, party of five for a while and I couldn't be happier about it. We are already planning a family vacation to Hawaii next summer. There is so much there that I can't wait to share with Steven. I think it might be the only place on earth where I have ever been able to completely relax. It's almost magical.

Well it's football Sunday and I need to go find a game to watch...
