ANNOYING.

why must i go back? :(

Returned with honor!

My little brother, Reed, comes home today!!!! He's spent the last two years in Australia serving the Lord and spreading the good TRUE word. The time has literally flown by and I can't believe he'll be back so soon....like an hour and 10 minutes soon! Even though he's the baby in the family he's probably the most mature out of all of us. He's so smart and not just school smart (he's been known to get those 4.0s) but he's like smart with the decisions he makes. And he's so humble and faithful..if you know him..then you know what I'm talking about. He's a good example to everyone...even his OLDER siblings. :)  Time to go get him! Hope your day is as good as mine! ...but it probably isnt. :)

he's actually a really big nerd.

Gratitude Journal :)

A couple weeks ago I was in California. Here's some proof..

Hollywood sign was pretty neat-O to hike to.

Me and the sissy at Venice beach...was a crappy day but we got some cool shells and I was happy to feel the ocean and sand in my toes again.

While I was in California my mom called me one night. She was at home alone, bored, and apparently going through some old things in her room. She came upon a "gratitude" journal she had started waaaaaay back in 1998. The intention of her gratitude journal was to just list 5 things that she's grateful for daily. Being the mom that I've always known I wasn't surprised what the very first thing on her very first list was, she told me as she was laughing, "5 healthy, though sometimes quarrelsome children." It made me laugh too, we were some crazy children...and I think we still are! 

I know I'm starting a few days late but this being the month of Thanksgiving I've decided to begin my own gratitude journal and list daily 5 things I'm personally grateful for. I'll start it on here, but most likely will end up writing most days of it down in my actual journal since I'm not an everyday blogger! So here goes....

1. AJ and his patient love for me....he's always so nice to me even when I'm not nice to him. :/

2. CLOTHES.

3. My niece...she brings me so many smiles.

4. The way the earth looks during fall.

5. Socks.....it's been a cold day.

So there's my very first "gratefuls"! What's yours? :)
