The sweetest thing

So, I work and go to school..I have been working on a group presentation for the last few weeks for my accounting class. Luckily our presentation was today, so we don't have to meet anymore. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my group...I really did. But I also kept thinking when we met on nights and weekends that this was time I could be spending with my family, and my little man...But that's not what I'm writing about. Last night, I got home about 8 o'clock, which is Tristan's typical bedtime during the week. But, I had asked Matt to not put him to bed yet if he knew I was on my way because I wanted to see him for a few minutes and, of course, do the usual routine of tucking him in. When I walked in the door, I got the BEST surprise. My little man was sitting in the floor, and his face lit up. He smiled really big, and yelled, "Momma!" as he ran to me and jumped into my arms. Once I was holding him, he reached over and gave me a HUGE hug and a big kiss. I looked at my husband and said, "Now this is the kind of greeting I expect when I get home!"  

Sometimes in life, it is definitely the little things that make everything worthwhile. Sometimes I just need to remind myself that all stressful things will end, and that it could be a lot worse. After all, look at what I get to come home to. What more could I want?
