Little things: The vase story

This morning while standing at the sink in the kitchen, washing a vase – I was reminded of it’s story:

It must have been our second date and Mr Swart had decided to bring me flowers.  At that stage I wasn’t overly domesticate and most things had a double purpose or use.  For example the blue galvanised watering can was used as a flower vase the couple of times I had received flowers in the past.

Kobus didn’t like the idea one bit.  So on his following visit he brought along a vase to go with the flowers he had bought me the night before.

This was something so little.  But it showed me a person who would always look after me.  A person that would make sure all my needs were met.

My Kobus is that person, to this day!

It is the little things that brings happiness all around!

Yesterday was a happy day for me, not because of this or that, but because we did the little things that brings happiness all around:

Early morning start at the gym saw us having our first swim for the season.  (yes I know swimming at the gym, doesn’t classify 100%)  It was amazingly enjoyable, extremely refreshing and the bonus was listening to Logan giggling all the way!

After our swim Kobus went to work for a bit *sad face*.  Logan watched a DVD and I cuddled up reading my book.

The afternoon we did homey things, we loaded our three dogs and Logan’s bicycle on the back of the bakkie.  Logan and Kobus sat at the back of the bakkie while I drove us to the Rietondale Park.  Logan rode his bicycle while Kobus and I followed with the three over-excited dogs.   After we walked all around the park Logan played on the jungle gyms and Kobus and I sat on the grass enjoying the moment.

The evening we went to church, something we should try to do more often, it really makes you realize just how blessed we are!

Tell me all the happy things you did the weekend!

little things in life

Like sleeping late tomorrow morning.
