do days usually go by so quickly? i feel as though time really is “flying” by and i’m desperately trying to keep up with it. i find that i’m trying to memorize every second of every day… like proving my brother-in-law wrong about my self-portraits. they aren’t all puckered lip shots — wait, i didn’t… Continue reading days go by
yes, this aunt has had an affect on the two oldest babies concerning thier choice in music (i’m so proud of myself). my dvd of keith urban’s concert has been at the little yellow house for a month now (and will probably continue to be there when i leave) and has become the morning exercise… Continue reading tonight won’t be just any night
when did you last laugh? tonight. a lot. really hard. no noise. mouth open. stomach hurting. trying to breath. enjoying myself. in a 4-runner. with four others. deciding to have a good time. i laughed. like never before. you missed a rockin’ time.
most days i wake up and feel like a dreadfully horrible person. everything reminds me of what i’ve done in the past and who i’ve hurt. it’s amazing what the Lord will do when i turn my focus off of my problems and instead focus on Him and His goodness and love. i realize that… Continue reading gracious

today found me going through all my little boxes full of nothings that mean so much to this poor old heart. a box that used to hold stationary and a box that my first Bible was in are now full of cards from years ago as well as recent ones and an odd assortment of… Continue reading putting it away
you can call me pathetic and tell me that i’m acting like i’m leaving forever and i know that i’ll whole-heartedly agree. who knows — maybe i will be gone forever after this, but i’m feeling the crunch of time and am very much wanting to spend as much time with people as i can.… Continue reading two things
