*A witty and enjoying title about enjoying life goes here*

Since my last post, I have worn socks, sneakers, basically anything that did not show off that wonderful set of orange toes I posted on here. So when I was walking into church today in my denim skirt and open toed sandals, I looked down and went, "Orange? What was I thinking???" Life lesson: Sometimes a good idea or intention can be good, for awhile. (Although I really hard a hard time thinking about that in the past few hours)

Happy birthday to my friend Jeremy who turns the *old* age of 26 today. :P This guy should have a great birthday-he has been a really great listener and Christian friend to me in the past few months. (And wink wink ladies-he's single...)

Tonight I got to catch up with my uncle, aunt and cousin on another taco bell family outing. They are having another little baby (yay!) My uncle teased me about school and whether I had a boyfriend. He started listing off names such as Bobby, Jack, James, etc and my eight year old cousin shouts, "JANET!!!" and everyone cracks up. I have missed her cuteness.

I'm reading this book about the couple who delivered the baby that wasn't theirs due to a medical mistake. It's an interesting read.

I've also been trying to beat my wii tennis score since my mom found the disc again. I'm afraid I'm stuck at level 530...for now. :P

I'm praying about college finances (it's expensive you know) and that I can keep up on my Bible reading.

Living Life :D

Rejoice in the little things in life. :)

 Painting my nails. Yes, these are my feet and yes, organge is the random color of choice. Random!

 Reading (the left is highly amazing!!!)

My favorite passage.

And oh yes. I found this on Stumbleupon I guess it's from South Korea.(?) I'm blown away!-inspiration for the future? At least for the kids section. So cool!!!

Mother's Day Tribute

I have no idea what to title this update. My life is so crazy-in both good and strange ways. Today is Mother's Day so we went to church and took my mom out to eat at Olive Garden. (So yummy!) My sister got the last piece of raspberry cheesecake after I had been talking about it the whole time we were there! O_o But the moose tie cake wasn't bad.(Skip this part is you don't want sad slash sappy) I've also made it sort of a tradition to visit my grandmother's gravesite and place a flower or two in her memory. I was thrown because my Dad and brother kept making jokes but then my mom pointed out that she would be laughing right along with us. I can't believe I didn't think of that, because I know she's right. There are things I don't remember about her that I wish I could. I can't remember what her laugh sounds like-just that she loved to laugh and she did it a lot. She also loved-all of us-more than I can even describe. I wish I could have had all four grandparents love me the way she did. I wish she was still here with us, so that I can talk to her as an adult and have real conversation. I wish she was still here to teach me things because I know she would have. But then I also think that she has been with Jesus for almost ten years and that neither one of them would want me getting angry over a few jokes or living in a constant life of regret. I appreciate my mom so much, even more now that I lost my grandma earlier than I should have. I am so blessed to have my grandma for eleven beautiful years. I am also very blessed to have both my parents and my three siblings, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins and friends who genuinely want my best interest. Happy mother's day. May your heart be filled with the light of Jesus's love to anyone you meet. :)

I want to be a writer again. But I never know exactly what to say or how to say what I'm thinking. That's why I gave up my dream of writing years ago. I could never come up with any good endings to stories. But I do have a lot to say, as long as my words aren't useless talk. Anyway, my head is all over the place lately. I just got home from college. I'm really missing my friends. I've gotten to spend great time with my parents. I even met someone from my junior high years in a christian bookstore today and it's amazing that we would meet there six years later. Also, I've been reading Mary Beth Chapman's new book Choosing to SEE  and it makes me want to get more involved with anything pro-adoption. (And yes! I got books in the library about Lithuania AND Estonia!) God is giving me peace about my school finances. So all in all, life is okay at this moment. :)
