A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer


Wow. Everyday is a learning experience for a parent! I never put a collage on my Facebook for Taylor on her birthday as I did for Britany (previous post). I thought about it, but Taylor is extremely picky about which pictures she considers flattering and is very particular about me not posting anything that she would deem "embarrassing".

Of course, though, yesterday she saw Britany's birthday collage and wondered why I had not done the same for her. So, I have sent her this collage via email hoping she will "approve" it for Facebook. I will post it here, because I am fairly certain that none of her more than 500 FB friends visit my blog. I do feel terrible however, because I was certain that I had posted a Happy Birthday wish to her here on my blog. After careful review of my previous posts, I do not see one.

In my defense, however, her birthday was sandwiched between back to back to back trips between Toronto, Arizona and New Hampshire. I can remember those few weeks not knowing if I was coming or going. I did get her a cake and gifts when I was visiting NH in October, but alas, I have slipped with my blogging duties. So, Taylor, my love, my precious ~ here is your collage. Do NOT flip out on me if you don't like any of the pictures. I did my best to recollect your previous reactions to these and I think I'm good. Here's hoping!! I love you MADLY forever!!!!!

Thankful For My Treasures

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~Thornton Wilder


Well, I am off to New Hampshire today for a week. I am looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with my family. Britany is flying in from USAFA and it will be so amazing to see her again and give her a big squeeze.

Despite the amount of travel I have done lately, it just doesn't seem to get any easier. It seems like there is always something to stress me out. This trip, I cannot find the battery charger for my camera. And me on a trip without a camera???? I know that I saw it when I unpacked from my last trip, but my mind was on so many things. I remember thinking to myself "you'd better put this someplace safe so you don't forget about it" and yep, no clue where it is.

I'm thinking I can probably borrow Charmaine's camera and just put my memory card in there and bring it back home. The way my brain has been lately, I'd better not lose that memory card!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! God Bless xoxoxo
