I Want To Remember Tonight

*Written a few days ago*

There was nothing out of the ordinary about today, but I love the way it made me feel. Since moving into our house last March, my love of this new space of ours has grown so much and continues to grow daily. It's not perfect, it's a little dated in some areas and needs some serious decor, but I love the flow of it and the ease of daily life with chores and kids compared to our last home.

So tonight, I had a photo shoot in Lowell just a few blocks from my house. Dave took the boys for a walk while I went. It was golden hour and the light was divine and there was a nice cool breeze. We met at the showboat and I took a few shots, and we walked around until we found the perfect spot. She helped me move some chairs out of the way, and I took some more shots, loving the location and creativity I was pouring out. Nearby was a beautiful planter with gorgeous pink flowers and our background was a crystal clear coffee shop window with decorative curtains hanging behind. Just beautiful.

On my way home I noticed a tree in our neighborhood starting to turn orange along with some golden-brown leaves on the ground. Signs of autumn, my favorite season! Giddy, I returned home to my two boys in the front living room while Dave was putting Gabey down. I grabbed the older two and we headed to McDonald's for flurries, and ate them on the front steps of our porch. I put some music on my phone and the boys danced and we laughed... especially when Zach was doing the Irish jig to Bootylicious. That boy! :D

As the golden sun dipped below the horizon we headed in, feeling happy and content. I love nights like this- filled with simple joy, the best kind there is.
