the universe is in us

Sometimes I think my husband's hobby is collecting new hobbies to try. His current venture is photography, he's picked up a camera from a cash converters store, he's got some books out the library and has been watching Youtube videos. He's raving about lighting and framing and he's extremely adorable and geeky with it and that's one of the things I love about him.

We went to the castle for the day earlier in the week, all three of us. Jack was playing quite happily with his new toy, taking photos of the castle and of me and Lucy.

He took one particular picture of me that I love. He's even printed it out and frame it for me, he loves the picture too. We were having a picnic and the sun was shining, he just says my name and takes the picture as I smile and look up and he takes the picture. My hair is all wavy around my face and I look really relaxed and happy.

And I realised I am happy. Truly and completely happy. I had a wonderful summer with Jack and Lucy, we've reconnected and it's like we've fallen in love all over again and things are stronger than ever. We've got a draft 'schedule' for term time and I'm really looking forward to the new school year.

I rather like this feeling and hope it lasts :)
