Any song, at any given time, can take me to a place where I remember someone - or something ... it can take me back to a simpler time ... or help me look forward to the days in front of me. I'm thankful I can hear BEAUTIFUL music ... it's probably something I take for granted most days.

I adore their little nuances and how they get excited when they go for walks. And honestly, there's nothing like cuddling with them - grateful they are part of our 'family'. ;) They will always be our 'first kids'. :)

Beutter Park: City of MishawakaI've known Kelly for over half my life. She has been one of my dearest friends - and I'm blessed that I've been able to document so many 'moments' over the years for her.
Had some fun with her, her hubby and two sweetie pie babies a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful November day - filled with PERFECT smiles - and new memories.

I mean wouldn't it be nice if you could 'flip a switch' when you actually WANTED to think and then 'flip a switch' for when you just wanted peace from the chaos? I don't know ... just a thought of nonsense perhaps.
Nonetheless, it's funny how we are who we are. While that's simple, yes, I still find it amazing how different {Emily} Hey Sisters!

You can see him below, in the first picture - the little stud, in front of all the bigger studs. Well, today, that little boy is a senior in high school. And a handsome one at that! Crazy how time flies.
Had such a blast taking his senior pictures a few weeks ago - despite the crazy cold!

It's when I get to spend time with my family - some of whom I don't get to see as often as I'd like! Of course, on both sides of the family, we ALL couldn't be together - but it's times like this, that I remain incredibly grateful for TWO families.
I adore my family. This is just a few of them! My dad, little sister Erin, my twin sis and her sweet boy{Emily} Hey Sisters!

Yes, it's true. In our youth, we wish for 'more years' and in our older years, we wish for our youth again.
Looking back on my youth, and I've probably said this many times before, but we had so much fun. My sisters and I fought like the dickens - but when it really came down to it - we flippin' adored each other. Today, we're BEST friends. {Emily} Hey Sisters!

I've said this before, and I suppose I should say it again - but writing is my first passion. It always has been. When I was in high school, I would write in journals - for HOURS. Then in college, I began writing a book that I never finished. However, it is on my 'bucket list' to finish it. And while I might be 50 before then - I'll do it! :)

And more specifically, these past few days. WOW. I feel so flippin' blessed - and I'm so grateful - yet undeserving. Sincerely!
On the 14th, my dear, sweet friend Amber and I went to see Les Miserables, the musical.

I got to travel to some of the most BEAUTIFUL places I've ever seen - places that I've ALWAYS wanted to see, up close and personal.
In April, my husband and I, along with our two best friends, traveled to Europe for our very dear friend's wedding. Along the way, we visited some spectacular places, including Paris, London and {Emily} Hey Sisters!

Day 11: Veterans. I will always and forever be grateful to the men and women who have fought hard and sacrificed much, to defend and protect this great nation. We must never ever take them for granted. And we must honor them DAILY ... those that made it home - and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Not only did I gain three sisters, but I also gained two brothers - and later another when my sis-in-law Lisa married her husband Michael! And what's more - I gained some amazingly beautiful nieces and nephews! And more keep coming! :)

He's definitely the type of person that if you have a problem or you're in a predicament, you can go to him and he'll be a listening ear or offer sound advice.
Over the years, I've been really blessed to grow closer to my dad - in a way that makes me grateful in so many ways. We have some pretty great talks and honestly, he's one of the wisest people I know.

If you think about the idea that we have the ability to vote who will lead our great nation, it's a pretty marvelous idea. Many countries around the globe, do not have this privilege. Let alone have this privilege and are actually safe when casting their vote.

I have the cutest, most wonderful nieces and nephews a girl could ask for. And I'm so thankful for every single one of them - the joy they bring - and the love they give - even the ones that aren't exactly related by blood! ;) LOVE THEM ALL SO VERY MUCH!

BLESSED beyond what I deserve. AMAZED at what I've been able to witness and experience in this life. I count my blessings DAILY. And am reminded that while I hate that I'm a sinner, I have a God that still loves me anyway. OVERWHELMED with thankfulness in that realm.
