Dear Grandpa,
It was your time to go, and I didn’t get to say exactly how I felt before you left. The last few months have been hard on you, and I am glad you are in a better place now. I will always remember when I would visit, and you would come home from work and play cards with us. Grandma would make delicious peanut butter fudge, and you would joke around. You will be missed, but I know you’ll be looking down us. Please know that I love you.
Love,
April
We had the opportunity a few weeks ago to take a hike at Glen Helen and get some family shots. To be honest, I get caught up sometimes with the house and doing this or that, and it takes Steve to ground me and bring my back to Earth and realize what it is that’s important. He has been wanting to take this hike for a while and get some photos of the waterfall and us, and I would continually put it off for one project or another. I am so thankful that we finally made it there, and I thank you for everything you do for me, Steve.
It seems that everyone has some weird quirk or thing that they really like. For some people it’s a billion roosters decorating everything in their kitchen, sometimes it’s cows. I have tons of quirks, but I love owls. Luckily for me, they seem to be in style right now as I found at least five different types and styles of owl necklaces the other day. I bought two, and I love how the one combines my other quirk as it looks like a Harry Potter owl.
The other necklace I bought looks more professional, and one of my friends, Holly, laughed and couldn’t believe I used “professional” and “owl” in the same sentence when I told her. Don’t worry, I’ll rock both of them at work.
(The first was purchased at Claire’s, and the second one was from Forever 21)
I actually got the idea from here where she had a thirty before 30 list. I liked it, because it’s an accountable way to keep track of things you’d like to do. I’d really like to do a list every year of things I haven’t done yet or would like to do. Without further ado, here is my list of twenty five:
Whew! So, that’s my list, and I’m excited. Making that list took me a while, but it caused me to think of things that I wanted to do but could easily put off.
I found this group (Bloganistas) on Flickr through a fellow blogger, here. I loved it, because I enjoy seeing all of the outfits and the scarfs. Oh, the scarfs! I see so many, and I love them. I’m not sure that I’ll be able to do it weekly, but I definitely use it for inspiration on what to wear. Here is what I was wearing for the job fair today before it was canceled due to the snow storm.
Whew! I’m off to cross things off this list, and with Steve’s help on the cleaning side I should be able to knock all these things out.
