20 of my favorite things

As I was writing the title to todays blog I got that Christmas song stuck in my head

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages, tied up with strings. These are a few of my favorite things

we used to sing this song in choir when I was in 7th grade :) The year me and my hubby were in choir together and became friends. Ah what a good year that was!

Anywho onto todays post:
20 of my favorite things (after the 1st 2, in no particular order)

1. Jesus--- No brainer, Jesus is my favorite thing!
2. Family-- Life is so empty without family, I can't wait to be back in MN!

Days 4 & 5 (oops :)

Day 4 of the 30 day journal was a busy day for me and I didn't get on the computer, so I am making up for it today :)

Day 4 (August 4)- Your favorite book

This is an easy one to answer too.

I have read this book 3 or 4 times, I can't remember exactly. It is an awesome story of acceptance & forgiveness. I would highly recommend it to anyone that loves a good love story like me ♥


Day 5 (August 5)- Your favorite quote

Hmm my favorite quote? I love this one by Helen Keller
"It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision"
It really makes you think doesn't it?

This is another good quote. I try to live my life in faith to Christ. Even though we can't see our future we just have to have faith that He knows what He is doing in our lives. Just take it one step at a time with Jesus Christ by our side.

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is something that I have been really working on lately, with all that is going on in our life I need to just have faith that He will make things happen how they are meant to happen.

I hope you are all having a great Thursday. Only one more day until the weekend!! Love love ♥

Big boy!!

Day 3 of 30

Day 3 (August 3, 2010)- Your favorite telivision program

This is probably the easiest question I have every had to answer :) My favorite show is King of Queens!! I love Kevin James, and I could have watched it over and over. I have all nine seasons (aquired over many weeks apart from my husband and having nothing better to do :) and I watch them just as much now as I do when I bought them.



Watching Doug get himself in trouble, and Arthur do crazy things, I laugh at the same stuff I have seen 50 times and notice new things that are funny. If you haven't seen this show then you are really missing out! I love it :)

Day 1 (August 1, 2010)
My favorite song would have to be Come Thou Fount. I have always loved this song, and I guess I didn't realize it was my favorite song until right now :) Another song I absolutely love is Traveling Soldier by the Dixie Chicks. I can't hear this song and not sing along.

Day 2 (August 2, 2010)
My favorite movie... hmm that is a tough one! I have seen so many movies but I have a hard time picking a favorite. I guess if I absolutely had to choose I would pick The Miracle Worker. I haven't seen it in so long! But I used to work at a video store and I would play this movie over and over and it NEVER got old. It is such a good movie!

The little girl does awesome and makes me want to keep watching it over and over. Hmm I might have to try to find this again now. I want to watch it!

I hope you are all having a great Monday :) Love Love ♥
