It is after 2 a.m., and I am just grateful to be HOME. My day started at 6 a.m., was filled with alpaca competitions, and culminated in a seven hour drive home. I am thankful that we made it there and back safely.
I am also thankful for not one, not two, but FIVE ribbons that Rachael won at the alpaca show - proudly displayed on the kitchen table, waiting for Gene to get home and see them in the morning. One of which is the following color:
(I honestly think she was happier to win the fourth place ribbon, because it was PINK.)
More gratitude (and alpaca show details) after we catch up on some much-needed sleep...
I could do a lot of complaining again today. But I won't. Instead, I will choose to be grateful that I am able to spend a whole day with my daughter, doing not much of anything at all. That I am able to travel. For experiencing new things. For laughing with friends. And for alpacas - this one in particular:
Rachael will be in the show ring tomorrow. Wish her lots of luck! We'll be driving home - six and a half hours plus - afterward. Not looking forward to that. But grateful for an extra vehicle so we can take off to alpaca shows three states from home on a weekend that Gene has to work. At his job. Which I am also thankful for.
Falling into bed now...
