johny john john

(john,so this one is for you!) so i have been slacking big time on the post thing. i thought i could get started a couple months ago but i kinda forgot to do any posts. then one day i am talking with my good friend john, who is an inspiration- he writes in his journal everyday and also writes on his blog. he documents each day and writes about the things he loves. so i thought to my self... i need to do that too. so right now i am committing myself to write at least weekly. ok i said so that means i gotta do it.

pre memorial day

memorial day has always been a great relaxing holiday and one that my family has generally gotten together. this year was a bit different because my sister jamie and her family are in iowa, my other sister christie and her husband are very busy, my brother shawn is in Ecuador servin the lord and then there is me. i have to work on this blessed holiday, but i do get time and a half. soooo my dad was feelin a little down and really wanted to celebrate memorial day, cause we always have good picnic food, like corn on the cob, the worlds best potato salad, baked beans and hot dogs. i myself was a little diappointed that i would not be having this feast. well my genious mom decided to bring it all down to me the day before. the day before, i also happened to be speaking in church. they made it a little family get together with me. it was great! gotta love 'em!
