#7- Memories

I'm really notorious for making plans...and then not following through with them, for stupid reasons. " It sounded fun until I had a stressful day...sounded fun until Korbyn got tired & grumpy... sounded fun until I decided to over think it". Those kinds of things. When I really think about it, we've probably missed out on lots of fun memories because of my horrible habit of over thinking everything I do. So yesterday, being the 24th I decided we should go see the famous Liberty Park firework show. Sounded like a great idea...then our day got a little stressful. It was hot as hell outside, Korbyn needed a nap, I was grumpy...etc. I sent Bryan a text saying I was having second thoughts about going. He's used to me doing this...his reply was "ok". I immediately thought to myself, " why do I do this...ALL the time?" I decided right then that this was my opportunity for the day. Instead if deciding for the 4 of us that I would rather sit at home & be a grumpy ass, I decided I'd suck it up & we'd go watch the fireworks. I dreaded the crowd...the traffic... the kids getting tired, etc. I was so wrong, about all of that. We parked a few blocks away & walked, which we all really enjoyed. We found the perfect seat on the grass, the boys were both happy to be out doing something, and the fireworks were amazing.  We had a great time and I didn't regret anything about it. The looks on the boy's faces almost made me cry, because I realized at that moment that I almost robbed them of this priceless memory, for my own selfish reasons. We always have the best time when we decide to just chill out & roll with it. When we were leaving we asked Brax what his favorite part was. His reply, " ALL of it, I LOVED it".
