good day.

today i forget about cancer. these days are nice. i got up at 7am no problem. was not super tired or nauseous. so i grabbed ava's bottle and we hung out. i made coffee. and it tasted good. since i have been sick coffee has tasted weird. but not this morning. justin came home at 10am. surprise. we loved it. he made me breakfast. but not make it sound like we have it all together all the time. first we got in a little fight. just a little guy. after we both stated our sides. i got quiet. and took ava over to her toys and read her book. and was stubborn. but then i walked through the kitchen where he was making us each an omelette and he stopped me. and we hugged. so moving on...i put ava down for her nap. we ate together. then he stayed him with ava while i ran some errands. it is now officially cold enough to wear my uggs. my favorite. since being car less i have missed the freedom that a car brings. bought ava some bows for her hair from a cute baby store. and did some boring errands. then got my nails done. got my new fall drink first. starbucks skim chai latte with three pumps of chai (thank you gift cards). i have been getting my toes painted in a dark gray recently. but never my fingers. i always go subtle. but this time i did dark gray on my nails. and i love it. like seriously love it. jus and i ate lunch together too. thai food. our favorite. no spice for me. and the most spice possible for him. he napped. i rested. and now ava is up. its been a good day and its only 4:47pm. i am so very thankful for days like today. i like it when my family is all together. and i love how my nails look as i type. sorry that is strange i know. but there is nothing about today that has to do with cancer. and i am so happy i could cry. i actually just teared up about it. this is a precious day. and its rainy too. which i kinda love since living on the water.

    it's it great when you get your nails done and they're so beautiful and that's about all you can see while you're sitting and typing? I love it too! Glad you had such a wonderful day!

    there is NOTHING weird about loving dark nails. i purposely keep mine super short and paint them dark colors and LOVE it. and love watching myself type. and love watching myself point to things while i teach my kids at work. love it. enjoying your simple pleasure.

    Totally gray would be your fave. I love it! When I like my nails, I like to type on a calculator. There's some random fun for you. I miss you and wish to do "nothing" with you. We had our banquet tonight and it made me miss doing all of this with you guys.I am so thankful for your good days like this. I hope this weekend and next week has lots of good days for you.

    Love how honest you are and thankful that your day was so awesome! Nice to know that others get in little fights with their husbands too...I know they do, but nobody ever talks about it. How refreshing.

    Good morming from the West coast. I just right- clicked on your new photo and selected "Set as Background" and now you and Ava are in front of me all day. Thanks, Sara, for another great pix! We appreciate you. (Can you figure out a way to place all of your terrific blog photos in some location on the blog so we can go back to see our favorites? or show our friends?)

    Love,
    Mom/Oma

    PS Sorry...I am too old for grey polish. Folks might think I have am trying to coordinate with my hair! Or, just starting to mold.:)

    There is something about having my nails done that brings a little earthly grace to my life - especially when I am facing challenges. So glad for your lovely day - God so blesses with periods of refreshing moments or seasons like that.

    haha, hi libby!! my bible study and i religiously (no pun intended) read your blog, and we feel like we know you. like so many others, we are praying for you. i normally hesitate to comment, but i HAD to on this post...

    i hope that it's "you don't know jacques" by OPI, that you're using. haha!! i'm obsessed with gray this year, and it's the perfect nail color. simple pleasures, right? :)

    anyway, hope you are well today...we'll be thinking of you!

    Hey Libby, glad you had a fun and memorable day. I wanted you to know that the other day when you were fighting feelings of loneliness and feeling blah about not having a car or being super productive- that I'm right there with you! Cancer or no cancer I think all moms might struggle with finding satisfaction and purpose in getting things 'done'. The other day my daughter was having emotional breakdowns over 'nothing' (i guess that's ok when you're 1 yrs old) and I was so tired and it was rainy and my husband was having a rough day at work and all I wanted to do was to escape for like an hour. I thought...' what would make me happy? a hot bath? trip to Target? Sit and waste time on FB?' But the Lord spoke to my heart and I just sat down for a minute and prayed for HIM to meet me that day. Not to run to anyone or place or thing other than the Lord when weak and struggling. This is hard to do in reality...when you are so stinkin tired or fatigued, but the Lord knows how we are made and is right there to satisfy us with more of Himself. Praying for you to be encouraged and feel more of our dear Savior's pleasure toward you

    Hi Libby,

    I'm Nolan Harvey's sister. I have known Justin since he and Nolan were friends in high school (he is such a sweetie). I have been following your blog for quite some time (I love reading it). I wear your bracelette faithfully and I pray for you often. Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I can soooo relate to your nail appointments! Glad to hear you tried a new color and you are loving it. I keep going darker and darker and love it every time! Take care.

    Jessica
