Why? Because, today was the best day of this new year ever. No, I didn't inherit thousands of dollars to pay off all our dumb school loans. No, I didn't get a house dropped into my lap. No, I didn't wake up this morning to find that my laundry put it self away over night.
It was completely and blissfully sunshiney and warm. I wore sandals for the first time without my toes feeling like they were going to break off. Patrick hung upside down from an apple tree in the most crazy positions I have ever seen (no, I don't have pictures. my camera is broken). I opened a window inside my house... and it's still open, even though it is now cold. I celebrated my dad's birthday with him by making him Raspberry and Cream muffins and eating lunch with him and my family. I bought Patrick his first airsoft gun. And, sat on our cement slab porch with him for a few sweet moments before going to my parent's house.
If I could have documented it with photographs, you would have probably been a little jealous, unless of coure you are totally content with where God has you (and I hope you are!).
There are so many times that I wish I had internet available at my finger tips for things that I wish to write... I tried to go to library and type on here, but that failed. I didn't even get to pushing the "new post" button because some lady had headphones on and was singing very LOUDLY off-key. It wasn't even a good song with tasteful lyrics or beautifully arranged music. I tried to ignore. It was pointless. So, I left her in her own little world and trapped all my words inside my head. Don't worry, I forgot them. They're not trapped forever.... haha....
Warm air makes me feel alive inside. Cold air makes me feel like staying in bed is the best option. Not because I'm depressed, but because I really dislike shivering and wearing ten layers in order to feel a little bit of warmth. I'd much rather run around in shorts and sandals and cute sun shirts soaking up 100 degree weather. I think God made me for heat. In fact, I think He really made us ALL for heat. Heaven isn't going to have snow.... it's going to be bright and sunny ALLLL the time. I can't wait!
Oh. My. Goodness. We have been married for 10 months. I feel like we're the little old couple of the family since we read each other's minds and just live like we've known each other for forever. It's beautiful. I'm thankful every day for this life God has given us. I couldn't imagine still being in school, learning. Maybe that's because I'm happy that I pushed myself. Maybe it's because I know God had this all planned before my parents even thought to have children. Maybe it's because this path I'm on... for the most part... brings me joy every. single. day.
Make a bonfire in your front yard in the middle of a bunch of gravel. try to cook Swiss Rolls and Sugar Wafers over it. We did. It was a rewarding night. So, do it... you'll love it.
