Spotlights

Was driving tonight taking a friend home at about ten pm and i was driving up they hill and saw this truck moving very slowly on the side of the road with a spotight out his window. Some people who live in the city would probably think this is very weird but living out here in the country its really not. The man was spotlighting for deer. Brought me back to the times when i was a little girl and my dad would take us out spotlighting on the side and back roads. It was always a fun time and i remember on numerous occasions actually seeing some look right back to us! it was so awesome as a kid. I also remember my Dad always telling me to pull the light in when we would pass a random house. Never understood quite why but he would remind me that it was because we didnt wanna shine such a bright light into someones living room. Now that im older seems pretty obvious but its out of this stupid litttle question that shows my Dads patience. ALways wanting to spend time with me and make sure i understood and never getting frustrated. This is just one of the few memories i have of him of the thousands that are as precious as jewels to me. Just thought Id share since this special memory was brought to my mind today! Love him!! RIP Daddy! 2.17.60~2.11.03

Life

It funny how life works out. So many people have so many different opinions and philosophies on life and how to deal with certain things but I honestly don't think any of them really apply to my life. I mean ya there are a lot of quotes and such that relate but nothing really covers every basis. Life knocks you down and you gotta get back up and keep going. You have hard days and voodoo days and you pray the good out weigh the bad and that you also learn from the bad. I think it's crazy how you can have such a horrible day buy yet such an awesome one the next. I had a pretty rough night last night but I went to bed put it Past me and kept on chugging today. Thanks to awesome friends I had a great day laughing my butt of and just enjoying life. We made my grandpa's recipe for homemade orange donoughts! Usually that would make me sad and miss him but instead it did the opposite. Made me happy and remember all the good times we had and shared with him! We watched the brave little toaster which I hadn't seen since I was a kid and it made me feel like a kid again. Just a good night in with family and enjoying the little things in life! I heard an amazing quote today from my mom and it said this. "do you know why your windshield is bigger than your read window? It's cuz what's ahead of you is alot more important than what's behind you. Leave whats in the past in the past and stay focused on what's ahead!" I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you will have rough days. We all do but God puts them there for a reason and he also gives us the good days to go with them. Don't get discouraged but try to stay opptomistic. Better days are ahead. It may be raining now but it can't storm forever. Get out there and look for your rainbow. The promise from your heavenly savior who loves you more than anything!!!!!
