This was one of my favourite moments before leaving my hometown to go East. It was an impromptu cookie baking night, with laughs and so much love between friends. I asked God to help me as I planned my last weeks at home, and the places and people He led me to were beautiful gifted moments.

I got have sleepovers with my mom, dance at a wedding with my dad and brothers, be reconnected with cousins who will forever be my family, giggle through an Air Supply concert, hold my friends sweet new baby girl, and laugh and eat with the friends that have been closest to my heart. Here are some pictures of them.

never say never

I thought I would never be the type of person to have a blog, and I have yet to see if I'll actually maintain one. I am excited, however, to keep in touch with my friends and family now that I've moved to a new prairie town and am a few miles away from my precious home. The idea for this blog came from a friend, and I hope will contribute to a new lifestyle that still keeps me happily intentional about the things I find so important, but not to busy for the only rational act. If you're not sure what that is, consider the life and words of Jesus Christ, as is summarized centuries later in "Tuesdays with Morrie" page 52.
