402. Forgot to say this one the other night, but it is certainly not unforgettable. I have been so incredibly zapped of energy this week that I can't manage to stay awake after we put the girls to bed. Andy woke me up from Lily's bed where I fell asleep with her after her book the other night. I stumbled out of her room and said, "Can we go snuggle?" Andy just put his arm around me as we walked slowly to our room, climbed in bed, and just talked for awhile. I have no idea how much time passed before I fell asleep again, but I do know that it was so nice to talk together about how we're feeling, making decisions together about the girls, and just holding each other. It's amazing to me how much these small, simple moments are so much appreciated in this stage of life where time feels like it's on fast forward.
403. Excited about trying to make my own facial scrubs. I am down to nothing in my tub, so thinking that I can probably make something on my own with ingredients we already have, I am in the process of hunting down some homemade recipes to make my own. Last night I started simple and tried a baking soda paste with water. This was a little bit harsh, but my face felt soft and clean when done - just a little dried out. I am excited to prep tomorrow to try a couple more recipes. I plan to grind up some oats and almonds to keep ready in jars and mix with other ingredients.

404. Thankful for Friday, made it through one week of work with Janet being on vacation. I love the growth that I feel when she is gone because it challenges me, but it will be nice to have her return so I can catch up and we can plan for the new year together.
405. Being able to help an employee learn more about her benefits today, potentially saving her hundreds of dollars and two teeth she was considering having pulled because she thought this would be cheaper than getting her root canal.
406. Lynn's Facebook photo album of their winter break vacation to hike with their girls in Death Valley. Her pictures honestly make me feel like this has to be one of the prettiest places on Earth. She has inspired me to put our nation's National Park treasures on my list of must do's in our lifetime, preferable with our kids.
407. Finding a bunch of great recipes online today to make use of all the seasonal, affordable citrus we are so lucky to have in Arizona right now - Celebrate Citrus!
408. Coming home from work to the most love-filled hugs and kisses from the girls and Andy.
409. The feeling of having a whole weekend ahead of me to be productive. So much to do.
