Random thoughts this evening

***I never once thought that my parents did not love me. Even if I did not agree with the rules they placed, I always knew they were doing what they thought was best for me. It never occurred to me to think otherwise- to ever doubt their love for me. I hope I can do that. ***I LOVE to organize. I bought a plastic three drawer stacker today for Ella's toys, label them (Purses and Jewelry, Dress-up and Toys) and put things away. LOVE IT. ***Marriage is so much harder than anyone could ever tell you. ***Life is the best when I keep an eternal perspective and remember that this life I am living now is a GIFT. ALL OF IT, good, bad and in-between. Nothing about it has to be wasted time or energy. It can all be for a purpose- and this is not all there is. ***My oldest child will be 2 very soon. ***While doing laundry tonight I was reminded (by God I am sure) to use my senses. It was the most enjoyable basket of laundry I have folded for awhile. Noticing the colors, textures, shapes and smell. I know, I know--totally PollyAnna-ish, but non-the-less and true experience for me! ***I really miss Sherry-

I started to organize...then got bored and tossed the rest in a pile. I think that kind of takes away the purpose. oh well.

ps-really miss you guys too. Brek needs some serious Ella time.

Good random thoughts! And I loved the previous one about your SS class. That's the way we feel about ours as well - we started out with your FIL as our teacher when we were you guys' ages - young marrieds, we called ourselves. Now we have all ages, and it is a great mixture.

I know you miss Sherry - I'm sorry we can't all be close together!

we put together a little brek and ella collage of pictures to hang up in brek's room. She started bawling when I pulled out the "ella pickurs" as she likes to call it. She just looked at me, like "mom, I just want ella. it's really not that difficult to manage, really it's not." it turned out cute though.
