sixteen of thirty

16. a picture of you when you were little

being little is the best

what i wouldn't give to go back in time

im especially fond of the memories i have being

little at the cabin playing with judd, carly & cailey

swimming in the river, floats, making up dances, playing indians in the forest, the swings, penny candies, ice cream, night games, riding bikes, catching frogs, etc.

seriously

those were the days

everything was so simple back then

everything was so fun

and we were never bored

i am around kids a lot

a lot

a lot

a lot

i have younger siblings, a thousand cousins, and i nanny

i love little kids

i can't get enough of them

they honestly make life so great

i adore kids and if you let them, they can be the best mentors in life

everything makes them happy

and when i'm around them

i am happy

and they love the simple things which may seem so dumb to someone else

(it was surie's birthday yesterday and

she told my mom for a rock as one of her presents)

they see the good in everyone and everything

kids teach you so much about the importance of life

and i think we should hold on to that youthfulness for as long as we can

winn claybaugh once said that you can ask a child what makes them happy and they can come up with a million different things- on the other hand you ask a adult what makes them happy and most the time they have a hard time making a list

we can learn a lot from children

...

don't worry that i am baby hungry

i know i know i know

i need a husband first

but seriously i've been wanting a baby

one day ill have lots of children

i think the best compliment that i've ever received

was being told that i will make a good mom one day

lets hope this will be the truth

i dont know what it is about the idea of being a mom that makes me so happy

i smile just thinking about it

okay okay okay

im getting way ahead of myself

like i said

i need a husband first

xoxo

cheers to being young
