The last month has been so weird, and odd, and stressfull...but mostly weird ( Read more... )

I attended my very first speech meet in Park River today...and I got into the finals.  Which, apparently, is rare for someone at their first speech meet!  Yay!  My big mouth is worth something after all.  :)

I got to see my nephews, Judah, Justice and Julian last weekend, which was amazing.  Justice turned one and practically the whole family was ( Read more... )

On Christmas day, I was finally able to meet my nephew and hold him for the very first time, and man, I am so happy.  Seriously, I fell in love all over again.  And since I am in a good mood, I will share a horrible picture of me and Julian and a awesome picture of my best friend/sister with Julian:

My younger sister Kimber is fifteen and she recently wrote a poem that just blew my mind.  She has never written poetry before, I've never heard her talk about it before, but she wrote one this last week and posted it on facebook and it's amazing.  And I'm not just saying that because I'm her sister.  It is amazing!  I am so proud of her.

 Okay, so I am fully aware that it's not November.  But, we really need to get out of the mindset that we can only thank God on Thanksgiving.  Because really, that's hurting us more than Him.

I have a lot to be thankful for.  I will briefly mention the obvious: food, shelter, clothing, an opportunity to be educated...  But I was given a amazing ( Read more... )
