I am visiting my mom and dad. I have been missing them a lot and I was ready for a visit.I have had a pretty rotten week. Nath is working long hours this week so it was a good time to come. Now one of the best things about being home is sleeping in my old room in a very cozy bed. Now the room has been redone in the last year and it is really beautiful, it was always cozy and cute but now it is beautiful and cozy especially if I pile a ridiculous amount of blankets and pillows onto the bed. It's perfect.If you can't afford to get away it is the next best thing, when it snows you turn off the lights in the room and the entire yard is lit up it is amazing and the best view in the house. I loved waking up in that room when it was snowing. The one thing that drives me crazy about this room is my dad fixed the bedroom door it used to have this incredible squeak, that I miss every time i open or close the door, I am 26 years old and I have had that squeak since I was nine, there are just some things in life you shouldn't change.
This week Laina turned 20 and we went for dinner with some friends at red robins, Sam lost his phone and we couldn't find him, so when we were looking for him I stopped at the church and talked to pastor for a minute then I was able to talk to his pastor, Pastor Stewart who is here for about 5 weeks. We were talking about being stuck with circumstances that you can't change and about the fact that just because you now have these hurdles to jump, your goal in the end is still the same. How oh how do you get there.How do you reach and attain a goal that now seems so far away. This is actually supposed to be the fun part, this is where no matter what you are going thru, little crap, super crap, mondo crap or half happy half sappy crap, this is our opportunity to get creative. Believe it or not He allowed this stuff in our lives, so this is our chance to do something when we absolutely want to do nothing, our great opportunity to become this creative person who takes charge and does not crawl back into the bed to hide from the world with a box of purdys and a thermos of coco.
I want to be that person, so in order to do this I just have to start with one thing, i know where i want to be, or a place I want to end up. SO now I need a list of things I want to accomplish and even th0ugh i want to be in Spain, I am stuck in Rome and I need to figure out how to accomplish the same goals in Spain while being stuck in Rome. i love to be creative but when I am tired I love to be sleeping and i am tired a lot so instead of conquering the world today I am just going to start with one thing , one goal, one project, one small step. Looking forward to some fun.
I miss baking and cooking but it is really tooo hard to cook and bake and not eat and eat, but I still want to. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies sound fantastic right now ,
Today i would rent a little cottage on the beach, stock the cupboards full of coffee, muffins, cherries ,whip cream and Safeway brand Mr.noodles. i would paint silly stupid paintings, write my own Christmas songs and children's stories full of animal characters who have been based off of the favorite people in my life and the crazy things they do.
