22

Jordan made it a fantastic day! Not just Jordan, but everyone that SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH at my surprise birthday party!!!! Thanks so much! That's all I can say, it meant so much to me.

On another note... I've made Jordan go on the gluten free diet. It's for the best and he knows it!!! Now, we're all gluten free. Sticking to it is another thing entirely!!!

We have a concrete plan for our future!!! We both know that it is right and that means that it is! I'm not saying what it is. Just know that we have it.

Here's an entry from my personal journal that I felt I should share...

Oh, 22 things... in 22 years....

...

You are not in control of your life, (sometimes) you are merely along for the ride.

It is not worth the effort/strain it takes to have bad/hateful feelings towards another.

God has a different plan for you, than you have for yourself.

Smile... it does make things brighter.

Sunshine gives you hope, enjoy it.

Being a mother doesn't come with an award, but it does come with many wonderful blessings.

You are not ALWAYS right.

Not everyone is out to get you.

First judgments are rarely ever correct.

You will make mistakes, it's your responsibility to learn from them!

Children are sometimes you best teachers!

Eat the cookie, it won't make you fat.

On the other hand, mind your health. A little indulgence is fine, but remember what is best for your body.

Read... by yourself, and to your children.

Be goofy... laugh.

Sing, at the top of your lungs.

Dance, with your child, your husband...

"Boogy down" by yourself; throw in some singing, be in your underwear... you've got a one person slumber party!!!

Pray... when you're happy, sad, mad, lost, or just need to talk.

Remember who you are... and why you're here.
