I'll just call it Halloween and save you from all the cheesy titles that crossed my mind

Justin & I had a fun pumpkin carving night. He'd never carved anything but boring old pumpkin faces, so I had to show him how to do a cool pumpkin. We happen to think it turned out pretty well, especially when it's all lit up. Now if only we had a front porch...

Traveling daydreams...

If I had a million dollars:
I would visit
China
Italy
and Paris

But since don't
my current top travel destinations are
Palmyra
Monticello
and Liberty Hall

Just needed a chance to daydream and plan... although it's an interesting adventure never knowing where the extremely blurry line between my plans and daydreams begins and ends.

Tears and sunshine

*Tears are an important way to release emotions of which I have no idea how to otherwise express.
*Emotional pain can sometimes feel like an actual physical wound, with the same capability to heal over time.
*Children have an amazing capacity to pull adults out of their own self pity or laziness and into the sunshine of innocent energy and laughter.
*God asks hard things of us. He does that because He wants to give us even more capacity to love, to obey, and to trust.
