Today has been full of change...not necessarily changes for me, but all around me. For starters, one of the boys I grew up with informed me that he was joining the Air Force. He's basically my second brother, I want him to be safe and ALIVE for as long as he should be. This is a huge LIFE change, more than just a hair cut or a new apartment. Big. All you can do is pray and Trust that God has a plan for everyone and everything.

Second, Jordan got a puppy! It's a black lab...Kimbo Slice. LOL. Kimbo. He's quite the cute little peanut of a puppy. This puppy is more than just a furr ball filled with fluff...he's given my dad a new reason to live. Life has it's low points, my dad seems to have found his, but this puppy has brought something new out in him. He's laughing and smiling and playing again. He has JOY. There's a reason for him to be home, to go outside, to be active. It was just REALLY good to see him like that. I love my dad:) It was hard to see him so low...funny how something so SMALL can change something so BIG in someone. I'm extremely grateful.





My grandpa has found himself in the hospital again...in all my years (all 24:P ), I have never experienced losing anyone from my family. I don't feel like this is it for my grandpa at all BUT the thought does cross my mind. It's crazy and scary and calming all at the same time. He's used to be a pastor so I know he's in good with the Big Guy:P Anyways, I just really hope he gets better soon:)


AND! Great news! Tyler got a call from the Lynden Police Department today (no, he's not a criminal!). Every year for Christmas they have all 12 of the squad cars detailed. They happened to fall onto Ty's website and called him up! They want a quote for all 12 cars...THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING!!! The more we detail the more debt we can pay off...the closer we can get to buying a house and having a home of our own. Well, I guess school comes first but still, one step closer!! Woo! So yes, he met the Officer Ross tonight and it went well! We'll hear more tomorrow probably, it's just so great:)



With everything changing it just reminds me how much we need to rely on God to lead the way. Sometimes with life I get so caught up in the every day hubub that I forget to stop and just let go. I dunno...it's just something that happens. Anyways, all the change in life changes my insides...it wraps me around God that much more and it's just really great:) Always and forever finding myself and where I'm at. Always learning and loving and watching. I like being me!
