I know that I am only 21, but I feel like I have experienced soo much in life, and it has made me appreciate the little things that go on from a day-to-day bases. Of course like, monumental things in life like vacations, holidays, and things of large matter are always great too, but there is nothing like friends and family. Tonight, I traveled to Davenport to babysit and see my sister for her birthday, I knew it would make her day if she didn’t have kids for the night, so me being the amazing, beautiful, fun, aunt , and sister I am made the trip. I ask one of my best friends, Sarah, to come along and also another close friend Maggie who goes to St. Ambrose, which is like a mile away from Jamie’s. It Blows. My. Mind. how good they are with my niece and nephew. It was a breeze, we got dinner, had cake, did baths, and got ready for bed all with smiles and laughs. I don’t know, just thinking back made my mind just start turning. How can two people in my life, mesh so well with my family? Like..hello…blessing? for sure. Then Jamie and Dave came home from dinner, kids were, well at least ready for bed, but Jamie sat down to talk to us ‘young stallions’ and we just laughed and laughed like we had all been best friends for 10 years.
I guess im getting at how something so simple as babysitting for my sister, and all being together for not even 3 hours on a Tuesday night, makes life so so so much worth living for. There is not a day that goes by that I do not thank God for the people and family that I have been so honored to have. I appreciate every single person who I come in contact with day in and out. My family-wow, where to even start? From my sister to my fifth cousins, to my crazy aunts to awkward hello’s at holidays, I love every single one of you, and I am so stinkin’ blessed.
That is that for the night, Solon Spartans got another 'W', God is good, and Maggie is going to break Kaylee and feed her to the ducks! (maggie taught kaylee this tonight as a joke) :)
