splurge

I went with a friend last Wednesday through Sunday to the International MOPS conference. a whole 4 1/2 days away from Espen, and Ryan of course. My friend LT and i had such a HUGE weekend which is a story in and of itself!
I got back just in time to get Espen up from his nap. When I walked in he smiled really big and even after picking him up to hold him he kept looking at my face, like he was glad to see me. I loved it!
Well anyway the guys and I went to dinner and then to the park.
Espen is so sweet and we love every minute with him! He is about to turn one the end of this month, and its hard to believe a whole year has passed and he has learned so much.
My mantra of late is that "Life is the splurge" and thats how I live it. spare nothing. soak it up. find beauty in the little things that are normally overlooked.
what is your splurge?
