I really enjoyed today

Today is the kind of Fall Saturday I really love, even though neither Notre Dame nor OSU played today.  The kids had to leave for the school by 9:30 for a band competition, and Andrew had to be at school by 9 to work an athletic event.  That meant no sleeping really late, but even getting up when we did was sleeping in a good amount.  I left shortly after the kids to go run a bunch of errands.  I didn't love my errands, but I did love the weather.  It was a beautiful fall day.  It was bright and sunny in the mid 60's.  I purposely took the long way home because it is a more rural drive   Andrew arrived home not long after I did, and the kids were another hour later.  I was really looking forward to an evening at home together.  Catherine was exhausted and really just wanted to relax, and I had a ton of band work to do...fall fundraiser time!  Andrew had made a batch of chili earlier this week for a school lunch, and doubled it for us.  We saved it to have today...perfect!  I had no time to cook, and it was perfect to just heat up on a Saturday.  This evening before Catherine went to bed we played a quick game as a family.  I love those moments.  I love how we laugh together, and I love how we share our lives together.  Life is so good.
