gladness

• bringing J2 to get her driving permit, reaching another milestone
• seeing HOM and J1 trying to set up the sound system in church together
• the look on HOM's face when i bake betty crocker brownies
• hearing J1 say, i'll drive us to church today
• having J2 back from her sleepover, and all of us in on a sunday evening
• also, perhaps, a pecan slice from starbucks, mmmmmm
