* I really love snow. Like love love it. Granted I love it even more when I don't have anywhere to go or be and I can either hole up curled up in a blanket somewhere or roll around its powdery goodness. It's truly beautiful and can transform even the drabest neighborhood into a winter wonderland.
*Im super excited to move to Omaha in March. I loved being there last week with my nieces and sister in law. It is going to be a great set up. I'm bummed my brother won't be around but if he was there, then my services would not be required thus defeating the point.
*I don't know why I am continually surprised by the changes in my life as I get older. I look around at everything I thought I knew and nothing is the same. Whether its perspective, maturity or insanity, I give. Being a grown up is not as fun as everyone made it seem sometimes.
*With this level of "maturity" people say you gain as you get older, I feel like I ve lost the sense to be a dreamer. At least when it comes to my own life. I'm so optimistic about everyone else's life it's about to get annoying. And the cynicism I feel towards myself is just sad. When did that happen? And how do I make it stop?
*I love my family. I do to measures that are unspeakable. However, once again, I find myself realizing we aren't as pretty in pink and flawless as the bubble that was my childhood portrayed. Being a family is hard. Being in a family of ten kids is crazy. And hard. Loving unconditionally..is hard. Knowing when to draw lines and where is just plain hard.
*Nah nah nah. Nah nuh nah nah. That stupid One Direction song is stuck in my head! Thankfully it's because my awesome sister, Ang gave me The Piano Guys cd for Christmas! ;) If you haven't checked them out yet, you won't regret it.
* I really dislike when the girls are sick, it just makes this rough for everyone. I do, however love how cuddly they get.
*I have been blessed with some pretty incredible friends in my life. There are times that they need a high five. In the face. With a chair. People suck sometimes. I suck the majority of the time. Such we do as sinful creatures. Father forgive all of us.
*I have two potential job offers for when I am finished helping my brother in Omaha. It's baffling to me how God has allowed jobs to fall into my life thus far. I am truly humbled. It confuses me though. I don't know anymore. I feel so unknowing in just about every aspect of my life currently. I'm told this is common, so I apologize for the momental pity party.
*Speaking of being baffled. I spent the first hour of work this morning trapping the small bird that got into the house. How does a bird get in a house you ask? Let me share. As I walked up the porch stairs and opened the lovely decorated door, I disrupted the perching of a small bird on the wreath. It flew into the house as I was pushing the door inward due to the chaos of it nearly attacking my face. After realizing my face was still in tact and staring in awe for a few moments, I walked into the kitchen informing my boss, Aaron, "Good morning. There is a bird in your house." Due to the high ceilings and many attempts to "shoo" it with a broom. We eventually wore it out and tossed a towel over it when it landed. After scooping it up and tossing it out on the lawn, it may have died from exhaustion or sheer terror of the idiots trying to help it escaped. I haven't checked outside in a few hours so it's fate is still unknown. Pending update.
* I went with a few peeps to pick up our friend, Markus from the airport last night. He was a exchange student from Norway my junior year of high school. It's been 4.5 years since I have seen him. Wow. I missed him so very much. Along with the 20+ other students that year. I loved that group. I mean, I keep in touch with more of them than I have with people who live an hour away. I want to go back to Norway during Christmas 2013. It's gonna happen.
* One final dumb complaint and I will end on a high note. Emotions are confusing and I really don't like them. They make you feel and the majority of the time feelings hurt. Hurting hurts. Plain and simple.
I'm tired of hurting. Whether I do it to myself or there is a second party. It's dumb.
* This picture sums up some happiness in life. Yes. That is a dickie. And no. That's isn't Cousin Eddie, but my little brother.
