The Best

What a difference a week can make! I feel so much more calm, peaceful.

Projects I accomplished this week:

• currently reading 2 books - one fiction, one nonfiction
• updated both my husband & my resume
• filled out at least 30 applications between Aaron & I
• scanned & edited over 500 of my childhood pictures & still going

One thing I realized in the process of the week: I had an AMAZING childhood. Not that I didn't know that already, but seeing it documented through photograph makes it that much more valid of a point. In fact, I will show you some of the reasons my childhood was AWESOME:

 

As a child, I never doubted that I was loved...even for a second...

 

Papa was always around to give us rides & an amusing story along the way...

 

Chris & Daniel were always good for a laugh and a hug...

 

Mama always tried to see things through our eyes...

Mimi was always there to help us wind down for the night...and wake us up in the morning...

 I had the cutest little Logi-bear in all the world...

 Daddy gave the best bear hugs

& made sure we learned all the interesting little facts about the world around us...

Aunt Julie carried me through some of my roughest moments...

 Aunt Debbie opened my eyes to all of the wonderful possibilities around me...

 I learned that life is much more fun with people you love to share it with...

 

& if all else failed, there was always my Papa.

 

I learned that even when it appears that all is lost,

someone always has an egg in their basket that they'd love to share with you.

 

I learned that there was always fun to be had...

 

& sweet pickles to take the bitter taste out of our mouths.

 

I learned that we never lack in angels to watch over us,

& that we can be anything that we want to be .
