Canyon Life

I was thinking today, I want to start a journal. For a year. I want to write at least one line in it everyday, for one year. Then I want to look back over the trials and joys of the year and see how God grew and stretched me. I want to see what God does in the course of a year.

The next coming months are going to be crazy. Crazy busy, crazy exciting, crazy fun, crazy stressful. I am EXCITED. I am SCARED. Some things are coming up that I want to write about. I want to journal the journey. JOURNAL THE JOURNEY. I'm going some place new. I'm getting out of my cozy Orange County bubble. I'm leaving my house for a far, FAR, away place this summer to do some good hard work.  I'll write more about it as things start to happen. But for now, I want to start a journal.

Anywho, on to other things. Here's some pictures from my phone this last week.

 Does your cat sleep like this? We have three dogs and a cat now. It's practically a farm up in here. Since we live in the forest, we tried keeping the cat locked up in the house for the night to prevent his getting eaten by, oh, I dunno. Bobcats? Coyotes? Mountain lions? All of the above? Problem is, by locking Kitty in, the dogs are also locked in, so they've been having accidents in the house. Yuck. So now we've been keeping the doggie door open, Kitty goes out all night, fingers crossed no one eats him. The problem now? Mice. Kitty brings in mice almost everyday. 5am seems to be his favorite time to bring them in. Brett now keeps gloves on his nightstand so he can get up and grab any mice and throw them outside. It's way fun.

Does your youngest son watch TV like this? I love Matt. He's just so weird.

My youngest son is also a smarty pants. Last week he got a bunch of medals for scoring very high in all his STAR testing for the last three years. Straight A's, very organized. Just like his dad. Matt has a huge concern for quality and timely work.

Yard vermin. There goes the neighborhood.

My good friends birthday! Love her. A bunch of us took her over to Slater's 50/50 in Huntington. They're famous for bacon related foods, which we all seem to love. That cake right there is bacon chocolate cake.

Yes, I ate all these burgers. 

Sisters and sisters and sisters.
