Blogging

I love blogging. Because this is me. It isn't any one else, or anything else. 

It's where I can say what I truly feel without anyone interrupting. 

It's a bit of sanity, in an insane life. 

A taste of heaven

My day was beautiful.

Take the dogs for a walk - Check.
Spend time in Jesus' presence - Check.

Clean - Check.
Spend time with my family - Check.

Make homemade chocolate chip cookies - Check.

I feel like today was a bit of heaven. Thank you, Jesus. I needed this day.

Best friend.

I have a best friend. Yes, he is a boy, and yes, that is okay. He is wonderful, and I'm happy to know he'll always be there for me. We see each other all the time. Sometimes we fight. A lot. But maybe that's just because our personalities are very similar. The good of our friendship outweighs the bad by a long shot. Thanks, Andrew Brenton. You'll always be one of (if not) my closest friends. (And I hope if we ever go to a nursing home, we get put in the same one!)

Here's some more pictures of us throughout the years.

In Beauty

In beauty may I walk

All day long may I walk

Through the returning seasons may I walk

Beautifully will I possess again

Beautifully birds, 

Beautifully joyful birds

On the trail marked with pollen may I walk

With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk

With dew about my feet may I walk

With beauty may I walk

With beauty before me may I walk

With beauty behind me may I walk

With beauty above me may I walk

With beauty all around me may I walk

In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk

In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk

It is finished in beauty.

Burn, baby burn.

WOW. It is hot outside. The kind of hot where all you want to do is sit in your house by the nearest vent. Seriously, people. The past few weeks have been in the upper 80s. And that doesn't even include the heat index (which is what it ACTUALLY feels like with the humidity.). It's crazy. Anyways, besides the heat I've had an amazing few weeks! Summer is already half over, and I'm sad about that. But I'm looking forward to the new adventures that are coming this fall.
