i've come to realize.....
1. I've come to realize that my chest-size...
will never again be as it was in my 20's. oh,shucks.
2. I've come to realize that my job(s)....is under-appreciated some days, definitely under-paid but so worth the perks.
3. I've come to realize that when I'm driving...i'm quick to tailgate, speed and almost never come to a complete stop at stop signs. yes, i've been ticketed for all of these above.
4. I've come to realize that I need....grace.
5. I've come to realize that I have lost..years of my life,by making bad choices.
6. I've come to realize that I hate it when...i don't show grace.
7. I've come to realize that if I'm hungry....i eat bread,chips or anything with too many carbs. you can keep your sweets, give me bread!
8. I've come to realize that money...doesn't buy happiness.
9. I've come to realize that certain people...that are just going to be harder to love. they are loved by God and i need to treat them that way.
10. I've come to realize that I'll always ...have issues.
11. I've come to realize that my sibling(s)...are one of the greatest gifts God's ever given me.
12. I've come to realize that my mom...is a strong, wonderful, sometimes stubborn,Godly lady.
13. I've come to realize that my cell phone...rarely leaves my side. pathetic. dang that i-phone, the one i didn't think i NEEDED.
14. I've come to realize that when I woke up this morning...i wished that sam would stay in bed with me and cuddle. it was short-lived (thru one episode of sponge bob).
15. I've come to realize that last night before I went to sleep...i watched 'design star',again.
16. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking...why was i so hard on my kids today?
17. I've come to realize that my dad....is a wonderful,strong, sometimes stubborn, Godly man.
18. I've come to realize that when I get on Facebook...i can blow an hour. sad but true.
19. I've come to realize that today...i was super productive.
20. I've come to realize that tonight...even 'great' marriages have bumps in the road. thankfully,when my husband and i fight,we never go to bed mad. all is good.
21. I've come to realize that tomorrow...my house will be a zoo. cousins spending the day here. love it.
22. I've come to realize that I really want to...be in shape.
23. I've come to realize that the person who is most likely to repost this is...kathy and wendi. oh, the pressure.
24. I've come to realize that life...is passing much too fast.
25. I've come to realize that this weekend...my cousin, Gina will finally be here!! yippee!!
26. I've realized the best music to listen to when I am upset...no music. just quietness.
27. I've come to realize that my friends... are good for my soul.
28. I've come to realize that this year...uneventful.
29. I've come to realize that my ex(s)...are ex's for a very good reason. i am who i am today, because of them. good and bad traits.
30. I've come to realize that maybe I should...speak less. pray more.
31. I've come to realize that I love...rainy days.
32. I've come to realize that I don't understand...why God chooses to take young people to be home with Him?
33. I've come to realize my past...still teaches me things today.
34. I've come to realize that parties...a good way to spend an evening.
35. I've come to realize that I'm totally terrified...of something happening to those i love.

i am...
*Outside my window...rain and darkness.
*I am thinking...sleep, please come visit me.
*I am thankful for...home.
*From the kitchen..."thank you for cleaning me today".
*I am wearing...a white and if i may say so myself, cute nightshirt.
*I am creating...memories for my children everyday.
*I am going...to heaven someday.
*I am reading...the bible.
*I am hoping...to watch my grand babies get married, with my hubby by my side.
*I am hearing...HGTV, again & a slight snore.
*Around the house...not a creature is stirring, hopefully not even a mouse.
*One of my favorite things...my laptop.
*A few plans for the rest of the week....clean the upstairs, pee-infested bathroom. wish me luck.

company picnic...
yesterday afternoon we headed out hovander park in ferndale (our favorite!) for our company picnic. WRS is definitely a 'family' friendly company. ryan and billy do such a great job of making their employees feel valued. i know that from not only what i observed yesterday but also from the comments i heard. they always open up their partys with prayer. something i'm sure most company's don't do. i am so proud of them for not caring if some may be offended, they stand my their convictions and beliefs. they are known for being an honest, ethical company. so many appreciate that.
the day was filled with tons for the kids to do! face painting, cotton candy, a bounce house, the dunk tank which rye took a turn at. our boys wasted no time in lining up to soak dad. (which they did!:)) i'll also post the picture of some of his guys also waiting their turn, sharing their strategy's. later in the afternoon, the local (and now getting famous around the world) magician, Sterling, came and did a show. rye was nominated to be part of the act. hesitantly, he agreed and was such a good sport about it. i'll try and post some of the video.
after the picnic, we were invited to billy and joann's (our partners) house. they have a beautiful yard, and a wonderful,in-ground pool, which they keep at a cool 88 degrees! :) the boys had a blast while us adults sat by the fire pit and chatted. a nice ending to a fun day!
