8 Things Making Me Happy This Week.
1. Finding out Christopher matched! While we don’t find out where he matched until Friday, an email went out on Monday at 11:00 letting everyone know if they matched to any position or not. We were at the pool when he opened his email, and I don’t think I’ve ever cheered so loud on a Monday morning before.
2. This weather. Florida has decided it’s summer. After a weirdly cold and rainy February, I am extremely happy about this.
3. The fact that Jack likes to be outside. I know I keep saying Jack is an easy baby, but seriously, the kid loves going places, and he loves hanging out by the pool. It’s the best. I’m so thankful that we don’t have to stay inside for him to be happy. Also very thankful for his pool outfit:
4. Hot tea. I’ve been on a hot tea kick (again) lately, and I forgot (again) how much I love it! And I really do feel so much healthier when I drink hot tea all day. Plus, you can pretty much find any flavor you can imagine in a tea.
5. Gatsby met a girl Shiba. We were walking around a lake and they spotted each other from pretty far away and were SO excited. It was adorable. Her owner was an old man who had never seen another Shiba in real life before and thought it was the best thing ever.
6. We find out where Chris matches in 48 hours.
7. Post-match celebrations! We’ve got reservations at our favorite place in Orlando, and we are going to party. Because when you wait four years to land your dream job, it’s worth celebrating.
8. Knowing that no matter what city is on the inside of that envelope on Friday, it will be the adventure of a lifetime. Plus, I get to take my two best friends with me, so I’ll take it.
What’s making you happy this week?

CONGRATULATIONS to Chris & your family! Pool Jack is the sweetest looking young man! I didn't know what kind of dog Gatsby was, so I looked it up online. Sounds like you have the perfect dog! Nana & Papaw will be with you in spirit on Match Day! We pray that you'll get a great place that you will learn to love & to raise Jack! We love & miss y'all so much!
