It's the little things that make us happy

Alright, now on to lighter things.
Last night was our last Sunday evening in our house. Next Sunday, we'll be in a bigger abode, not far from where we currently live, but a new street, new neighbours, and a lot more space. I am very excited, but Lisa is feeling a bit blue about the move. I know she'll come to love the new house, as we will be creating new memories.
So I decided to cook us a very nice, typical Sunday dinner (typical in the sense that it was something my mom or your mom could have made). We had prime rib, yorkshire pudding, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Topping it off was a VERY nice bottle of Spanish red wine.
I was feeling very relaxed and was enjoying every minute of our dinner together as a family - Aiden had us in stitches (again) and Marissa was not having a cry attack. I then proceeded to have another glass of red, go outside to my gazebo where there was a really nice, cool breeze, and smoke myself my last Cuban.
The cigar that was so lovingly hand-crafted my Fidel's minions, coupled with the wine and the breeze, had me in a totally euphoric state! It was this moment that I wanted to bottle and keep forever - that I am one lucky sonofabitch - a family that loves me, and one that I love back.
For all the emotional rollercoastering I went through in the last month or so, that moment last night brought me back to the starting line, ready to start yet another chapter.

On a musical note, I wanted to share with you a band that also brings me great happiness. They are called Band of Horses, and to me their music is audio heroin! Give them a listen, and go out and buy or download their album "Cease to begin" and "Everything all the time". It's indie alt/country/rock at it's best.
