Life List In Progress

I have been inspired by some fellow bloggers...  I have decided to create a "Life List" -- things I must do during my life time.  I feel like this is especially important for me because I tend to get caught up in every day "stuff" and forget the big picture.  This world and this life is so boundless, yet I often feel like it's tough to get from day to day.  I think reading this list will remind me of the big picture.  I hope that it will remind of all wonderful things that God has in store for me.  Things he wants me to do.  Places he wants me to see.  Love the beauty that He has given us.  And, just enjoy my life. 

As I mentioned earlier, I was inspired by the girls at www.bouched.com Definitely check out the Life List for these two girls - whom I stole the idea from...  But, also take a look at their inspiration...  http://mightygirl.com/mighty-life-list

Ok, well, hopefully in a few days, I will have a "Life List" here for all to read...  Wish me luck!!

Daddy's Girl...

     Some days I miss my dad so bad that it hurts... It has been tough these past few days.  Been thinking of him a lot.  But, I have been left with sooo many wonderful memories and blessings from him.  One of those blessings was the on the day I got married - the happiest day of my life so far.  And, my father was such an integral role in that day and making it happen.  He amazed me so much on that day -- his strength, his calm and his love...

Even now, it is so hard to look at these pictures and think, "Is he really gone?  That can't be true."  But, it is.  It just seems unfathomable that you could lose someone you love that much.  I know that I may have just had him for 30 years, but every moment was so very blessed.  I received more love in my thirty years than some people get to experience in their whole lives...  And, I am so happy for that.  He truly was the best daddy any girl could have...

I love you and miss you so much.

Here I Go Again...

Here I go again...  Talking about my pets...  But, as I mentioned a week or so ago, they really do bring me some small amount of joy in this world.  And, I have got more pictures, but first a little background...  A few weeks ago, when we cleaned out Travis truck, a little argument ensued.  I found a nasty green plastic cup in his backseat of his truck.  It obviously needed a good scrubbing and a go-round in the dishwasher.  But, Travis said - no, that's Jack's cup, he needs it to drink his water.  Ok, I understand, but it also needs to be cleaned once a millenium...  Back and forth, back and forth we went.  But, as usual, I prevailed.  The cup went inside to wait for its turn in the dishwasher. Well, I knew it would happen, but that cup stayed in the house for at least week because I forgot to take it back out to Travis' truck.  And, of course, he couldn't remember to take it with him in the morning.  So, Travis sent me the following "pictorial" and captions about one very sad, very forlorn little pup...  Enjoy!  (Sorry for picture quality, most of these are taken with our phones...)

have you seen my cup?  it's short and green a little durty, but it's mine...  i don't have much in this world so if you see it please bring it back - i'm offering a five dog biscuit reward found full or empty.

my daddy found this coffee cup in a dumpster... it'll do until I can find mine...

tired of searching look more tommorrow if I have the energy...

Have you ever seen anything sadder than a pup who has lost his only worldly possession?  Thanks, Trav.  Way to make mommy feel guilty...  Needless to say, he does have his cup back now.
