Finding Myself.

The service was tough. Alot of familiar faces though which brought me comfort. I needed to be there and I am really glad that I made it. The church seemed smaller than I remembered from growing up - but I guess it was because it was busting at the seams. The pews were still just as uncomfortable though - I smiled to myself though - the hard pews were the only reason why I stayed awake during Grandpa's sermons. It was nice to see my family - even though I will see them again next Friday for Christmas. The above picture - me in the purple hair and my dear friend lost in the Batman shirt. Good times and lots of smiles. It was Hallowe'en, I don't know what we were thinking. HA.


My brother called me out of the blue yesterday and wanted to take me for lunch and some shopping. Some days he's just a punk kid - but yesterday he came thru and knew that I needed to hang out with him. We sat over lunch and reminisced about growing up with our friend that passed. In this small town we grew up - my friends were his and vice versa. So although my brother doesn't seem to have a heart most days - he really came thru for me. It was nice. Above pictures taken many moons ago. Times like this make you realize to hold your family close. Don't know what I would do without him.

My Christmas shopping is done. They are stacked in the corner. We need to go thru them tonight to make sure we have everything we need. I don't want to realize the last minute that we forgot something. Planning to be a good girl food wise until the first Christmas dinner this coming Friday.
