nice to meet you

Today we...
Looked at and selected stone for the fireplace.
Cheered on Zoe at her last soccer game of the season.
Ate lunch outside, in November in STL for Pete's sake, under the bright autumn leaves.
Looked at and selected a fireplace enclosure and gas logs.
Stopped by to check on the house and picked up some debris blowing in the yard.
Went to Mass.
Met my mom's half brother and his wife. Before yesterday, she hadn't seen him since she was 13 and they were at their father's funeral.

Fantastic day overall, but that last one really sent me over the edge.

Gained two awesome family members today, and saw my mom really, really happy. Pretty damn great.
