I was looking back through pictures from Meg's birthday last year, and when I saw these it made me smile. I remember that time of my life being super stressful, trying (without success) to sell our house, getting ready to move, etc. But even in the middle of that, there were great times!
I had taken Meg and Carter to visit Nate at work that day, since it was not great weather and I thought Meg would love to run around a little for her birthday in the halls of the clinic. After visiting Nate, the weather seemed okay, so before heading to the car we walked around the grounds for a minute. Not a minute after we decided to head home (parked a ways away on the street, of course) it started to POUR. Sheets and sheets of rain. We made it to an overhang of the Mayo building, and stood in the dry (although Meg wanted to be out in it!) and laughed and laughed and watched the rain until it let up enough for us to make a run for the car. I remember being so happy.
I am grateful for phones with cameras to capture fleeting joys like this!
