So much life happens around our kitchen table. It's not my favorite table, but I love how many memories that table holds. After school the boys pile their books, papers, and homework onto that table, then they enjoy their after-school snack before we begin the long homework routine sitting at that table. We couldn't count the number of papers from crafts and drawings this table has seen. We talk about happy things that have happened to us as we sit around this table for dinner each evening. We have played countless games and put together many puzzles as a family here. So many happy birthdays, Christmas dinner, special events, fancy Sunday dinners have been set up at this table.
Every now and then I get the itch to start building a new table with Justin. But I think, how lucky are we to even have a table! Does it really matter what it looks like? We have managed to still have some pretty awesome memories even though it isn't the 'perfect' table. So today, I am very happy to have our OUR table.
(but I really will love the day that Justin and I can build a table together) :)
