Encouraging Words

I have been reminded lately in several ways of the power of words- in every form. Words can destroy and words can create. They truly have the power of life and death. I am so grateful that people in my life have chosen to use their words to encourage my life. I am touched that people invest in me. My love languages are absolutely without a doubt- 1. Physical touch- boy, do I love me some hugs! 2. Words of Affirmation. So, it probably goes without saying, but my love tank sure is pretty full right now!

My amazing dinner...

Cooked in the comfort of my own home...or driveway as the case may be (for the grill). Yummylicious (to steal a word from my good friend Alison).

Boys will be boys...

So I took a long weekend from work and went to visit my family. Always an adventure with my nephews! The pictures speak for themselves...
Brayden refers to this hairdo as 'Spiky Business.' He is definitely his father's child!

Bradley's personality isn't so easily defined in pictures...he needs an audio file. The boy talks NONSTOP. And he doesn't miss anything...I mean, NOTHING. Smart kid.

My brother and sister-in-law better watch out. These two will get them back for EVERYTHING they've ever done, and more. I love them so much!

Memorial Day 2008

So to catch up a little, this Memorial Day weekend wasn't quite as action-packed as last year, but OH it was so much more relaxing and I didn't come home tired! We ate a little, shopped a lot, went to the beach, hung out at the pool, watched movies, played Scrabble (our trademark game), but most of all just got to talk and catch up. I love this girl. So much. How did I ever get so lucky to have her as one of my best friends???
