feelings

i have a lot of feelings zooming in and out of me right now. yes, there is anticipation. yes, there is excitement. yes, there is some nervousness. yes, there is some anxiety too. it's a fun challenge to keep up with it all. one of the greatest lessons i've learned from this experience though is this - people are oh so good. i am so grateful for people who have been so kind and gracious to me. it's humbling to soak in their kindness. in the musical les miserables there is a line that states, "to love another person is to see the face of god." i've thought about that often, because there have been wonderful moments where i've felt so close to my heavenly father, because others have loved me the way he does. i'm sure His face and His countenance are seen in each of our own faces, especially when we take the time to love and serve unselfishly.

it's a neat gift.

i might cry some the day i get married. just saying. tears might have arrived during the bridal shower, so i am just prepping myself.

3 days and counting. bring it on.

i'm feeling 31

Dear A, It's your birthday. I thought I would jot down some notes on what it feels like to live, breathe, and be at this stage in your life. 1. Last night your husband realized that a cake could be nice for your birthday. He panicked, because there is no place to purchase one in the middle of no where. You got nominated to make your own cake. It's going to be delicious. 2. You teach 7th and 8th graders. You've been working on diagramming simple subjects, simple predicates, prepositional phrases, and articles. It is always delightful.  3. You have been great at exercising at least 30 minutes each day. 4. You are attempting to teach piano to three students. It's not your favorite thing, but you're learning to enjoy it. 5. You love your green smoothie each morning. 6. The minimum you drive each day is 120 miles. 7. Cowboy and you are in a good scripture reading/praying groove. You even have FHE each Monday. 8. There is no snow to been had or seen in yo...

sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed..

Dear N, I can't believe we've been married five years, today. We've laughed, played, argued, traveled, worked and become something we couldn't have achieved without each other. There's a primary song that says, "God, gave us families to help us become what he wants us to be." He knew I needed you to 'become' a better me. You're my big dreamer and a lingerer. You're my passionate hobbyist and a sincere do-gooder. You're my tease and a talk-it-through-er. So , " Tell me, what is it you plan to do   with your one wild and precious life? I plan to spend mine with you. Much Love, A (quotes by Mary Oliver)
