I think it's pretty incredible that I am so completely blessed. Sometimes it's good to stop and take a minute and I know it's cliche, but count your blessings. I thought about this today as I was folding laundry with my mom. (There you go, a window into my glamorous life.) I was folding my dad's socks and my mom told me to put them into two separate piles, capital letters and lowercase letters (they say "Hanes" on them). As I sorted his socks, I thought, Wow, this would be crazy to so many people in this world. I mean, my family is blessed enough that my dad has two different kinds of socks. And not just one pair of each, no, he has a lot of socks. I bet homeless people don't care whether both of their socks have capital letters or not; they'd probably just fee lucky to have socks. Now I realize how silly I am sometimes, worrying about things. Obviously God is taking care of me and he's going to continue to do so. Okay so now I'm sitting here laughing at how weird I am. I guess it's just that I need to get a life. I mean I doubt many people sit at home thinking about the lettering on socks. I suppose I get the weirdness from my mom who is OCD enough to want the socks separated into capital and lowercase letter piles in the first place. Hmmmm. Well, the only thing I'm for sure of is this: From now on, if someone mentions "counting my blessings" to me, I'm going to remember my dad's socks.
Hooray for advice: Start paying attention to the little things in life. It may cause you to come to realizations.
Ha ha. Like anyone is going to take the advice of a girl who just wrote for twenty minutes about socks. :)

I don't know some of the best lessons that I have ever learned while here on earth for a whole 16 years, would have had come from my clothes. (ok this time I think I said it the way I want it.) O and Sunday after church my family, drew and maybe some more people are going to wendy's for my birthday. I know it's awesome right? do you know why it's awesome? because it's cheap and I get to keep the extra money for my own pleasure. So if you want to come then you are more than welcome. ok now I am going to stop moving my fingers because they are starting to feel weird.
