Counting Down

inspiring words


  • "Life is a constantly morphing thing. Just when you think you know where it's all headed you wake up the next morning to a completely different view. The landscape has changed along with the seasons, but the trees are the same trees, only your view has changed. So you try to cling to the old things that used to comfort you, clinging to the familiar, but they provide little or no solace. The fears do not subside. At this point we have no choice but to surrender to the unknown.

    that is where the real beauty lies.

    It is not in the knowing, the familiar, the expected. But in the embracing of the unknown. a willingness to walk down a new path and to trust that everything is as it should be. perfect. as it is.

    Schopenhauer said,"When you look back on your life, it looks as though it were a plot, but when you are into it, it's a mess: just one surprise after another. Then, later, you see it was perfect."

    Sometimes there are little glimpses of the perfection, amidst the mess. It is at those times we feel blessed beyond measure." - Keri Smith

July 22, 2011

and now there are 3 . . . teenagers living in our house

Needing to take a minute to commemorate something pretty special . . .

Double trouble . . .

Twins1-2008
 

(one of my favorite pictures of my girls - this is circa 2008)

are no longer tweens but bonified, official, certifiable teenagers.  The twins celebrated their 13th birthday while at Girls' Camp a couple of weeks ago.

I happened to be at Girls' Camp with all my girls and my husband happened to be up in Utah, fishing and hiking with Zack.  Not wanting to think we forgot, Ryan found a place to do a special cake and drove up to Girls' Camp and surprised our girls with cake, ice cream, and balloons.

Because we were in the middle of Girls' Camp, Ryan had the cake designed with a "camp"

theme  . . .

The girls were so surprised to see their dad come into camp with a cake.  He snuck in through the backwoods.  All the girls and leaders sung Happy Birthday and the girls made a wish . . .

Of course, everyone at camp thoroughly enjoyed the cake and ice cream, but not as much as my two girls. 

Happy 13th Birthday Sydney and Chase! 

May we both survive your teenage years together!
