We Saw Them!

So, even though the meteor shower wasn't supposed to peak until the wee hours of the night last night, I couldn't stay up that late, so Josh and I took our chances on the earlier hours of the night to see if we could catch some shooting stars. The two of us laid on a blanket in our backyard and just watched the sky. As we were doing so, it occured to me that people, including myself, don't seem to appreciate the stars as much anymore. With cities getting larger and busyness happening twenty four hours a day, we've seemed to block the heavens out. But how grateful we should be that not only did our Father in Heaven paint us a beautiful evening sky with the sunset, but he gave us a neverending game of connect-the-dots! Laying there with my husband, looking at the stars, just reminded me that I should taken more productive time outs, rather than just vegging to a movie all the time. Anyways, we ended up seeing a few meteors. We even saw one with a tail, similar to a comet! It almost seemed to being going in slow motion. It was awesome! Afterwards, we packed up and went to bed. Later, Mia woke up for a night cap, and after I put her down again, I looked out my bedroom window for a few moments, and I saw another one. I should have made a wish!
