I've had some things on my mind for a few weeks right now. And wanted to revisit a few moments when things just seemed right, times when I felt like I knew that things were going to be good for me. I need to feel those feelings again right now in my life, so maybe this will help me get back there.
So this is me in Guatemala. This was the day I got to go on a mobile clinic and we stopped at this waterfall. I felt like I was in LOST (tv show)!! But this trip made me so thankful for my job back at home and thankful for what I do have. The whole trip really did something in me and I want to feel that again so when I wake up in the morning I actually want to go to work.
And this day...oh man it was awesome. Byron and Sarah invited me, Anne and the Kornrumpfs out to the farm. This was like March or April of last year and it was a beautiful day, warm weather, clear skies. BK had his convertible so we drove out to the BR. It was a Sunday afternoon and me, Anne, Sarah and Katie all laid on a blanket in the sun and just took in the day. I remember wishing that the day would not end, that the sun wouldn't go down, that I could stay with those girls and no one would move away and we would be friends forever. I LOVED that day. LOVED it.
And then their's Alison. I miss her. She challenged me on a daily basis when we were roomates. I heard Kiera say tonight that she was at Winterfest this past weekend and I envied that! It's almost been a year since I've seen her. And this night we took this picture she stayed the night and Katie stayed that night too and the 3 of us stayed up til 1 or so in the morning giggling ourselves to sleep. I didn't want that night to end either, because I didn't want her to leave us again. I miss you Alison!
So this one is funny!! This is at work not too long after I started working there. I wasn't too close to any of those girls and now 2 of them are 2 of my closest friends. This was a crazy time in my life where I didn't know what I wanted out of life! But to see how far I have come makes me feel just a -tad- better.
And this is my Grandma. She was in the hospital for a few days last week in TN and I almost got in my car and drove to the hospital in Paris, TN to be with her. I don't want her to ever feel pain or suffer from anything. I want her around for 25 more years!! She and my grandpa are all I have left and I want them to see me get married and have children and have them be around it. I miss her greatly right now, because I want to be there to take care of her and be her personal caregiver! She is a strong woman though and gets through her pain. She is my biggest fan and is always encouraging me and supporting me through the good and the bad. Be mindful of her in your prayers. Love you Grandma.

Girl, I hear you on some many of those things. I know you are going through a rough patch right now, but know we are here for you and you always have a place at our house when you need some company!! I think once the weather gets nicer and we can go outside and take some walks together it will make things seem so much better. Hold on a little longer... it's almost here. We are praying for you!!! Know that you are beautiful inside and out and God has wonderful plans coming your way!! Love yoU!
