Yesterday was Steve's birthday...the second without him. It was also my oldest nephew's birthday...the first we've ever celebrated in person with him. So that was kind of weird.
On the 18 month anniversary, I saw "our truck" for only the second time since it was sold early in the year. It was very unexpected and like a bit of a gift. Yesterday, on his birthday and far away from town, I saw it again. So unplanned, yet timed so perfectly.
The other cool thing about seeing it yesterday was that my oldest niece was with me. That was special. I got to tell her it was the truck that "Uncle Steve" (who she never got to meet :() used to drive. She was quite surprised to hear that about a seemingly random truck as we drove the 5 hours back to Nanna's.
My sister from Texas and her husband and their kids are in Australia at the moment. I had nearly my ENTIRE family staying for three nights...that was an even dozen of us in my house. :) It was loud and crazy but fun. I do love all my family being together!
