When You Get Caught In the Rain and Just Don't Care!

I read this little article today, and couldn't help but think of you.  How many times have we played in the rain together?  And I still love to do it!  It's from here.

When you get caught in the rain and just don’t care

Water, water, everywhere.

Most of our brains and our blood and our bodies are water. Most of our babies and our beagles and our baths are water. Water rinses apples and washes cars. Water steams carrots and cures SARS.* (*Study pending.)

Yes, water cures thirst, shaves legs, and grows plants. Water flushes toilets, washes hair, and ships pants. We cannonball into pools, we float off the docks, we ice down our drinks, and we rinse all our socks.

We love water but somehow there’s one major moment where we dread Nature’s Best Liquid. Yes, I’m talking about rain, people — because you know as well as I do that when the skies split and the clouds crack everyone scowls and scampers for cover.

And that’s exactly what makes it great when once in a while you just, you know, don’t. That’s what makes it so great when it starts pouring on you and you just stop caring altogether.
Jumping in puddles, laughing with friends, chilled to the bone, soaked till the end — yes, when you’re getting wet and loving it suddenly soaked shoes, squishy worms, and rain hair mean nothing. You’re a gorilla in the rainforest, you’re a lion in the monsoon, you’re just another animal on Earth soaking and swirling and spinning and twirling in your beautifully wet blissful moment of

AWESOME!

It's A Wonderful LIfe

Can't believe it's already this time of year again!?  Time really does fly.  I'm so glad Danielle shared this talent with us, and we were able to see her living her dream so much through the years.  I don't think any of us missed a year seeing Thriller and It's a Wonderful Life when Danielle was in it!  What a fun tradition.  I'm sure they're missing you this year too Danielle. 

And don't you just love the title of this show?  It really is true.  It's such a wonderful life.  Even though we each may have different struggles and things going on in life, it really is a wonderful life!  We are so blessed!



I am so Thankful for each of you!

Always, but especially this time of year, I am so thankful for each of you.  We are so blessed to have such good, strong friendships, even though we may not talk everyday.  I feel so blessed.  Thank you for being such good examples to me in your everday lives.  I miss you, and am so very thankful for the closeness we share. 

Miss, as she's persued her dream of obtaining her Master's degree, and is now teaching!  She also may be the most thoughtful person I know...she never seems to miss a beat!  Danielle, is the most genuine person I have ever known.  She would drop anything in a heartbeat to help you.  Rachel is always up for a laugh and may be the most sweet and tender of us all!  Whit never seems to forget anything, from a birthday, to a thank you, she always remembers what is going on your life!  Allie is definately the most whitty.  She always has a story up her sleeve to tell you, and make you giggle your worries away.  Laura is the first little mommy of the bunch, and is always up for an adventure.  I am grateful for each of you today, and always.  Hope you're enjoying your day! 



miss you!

Hey girls!  I just wanted to tell you that I miss and love you all....  Gosh I miss the good old days where would either lay by the pool, go on a golf cart ride, make some crafty craft, or whatever the heck we wanted.  I seriously feel so lucky to have you each in my life!  love you.  Can't believe it's already the middle of November!
