I'm Gonna Be An Aunt!

Okay, so that's old news, but Jacob and Phila found out today what they are having. It's a girl! Thanks, y'all, for giving me a sweet niece to love and spoil! And, sorry Phila, she is definately getting the Wonder Woman onesie! If she's anything like Jacob, she'll be a chunky monkey. In a Wonder Woman onesie. Can we say Adorable?

Lessons Learned

I once thought that everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten. I learned to share, I learned to read, and I learned to CYA if you think you're about to get in trouble. Recently I've decided that I've learned some pretty valuable life lessons as an adult. Here's a brief run down on what they Don't teach you in kindergarten -
* Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Even if you CYA, you may still get it. The thing to remember is God won't put you through something He doesn't think you can handle.
* The Beatles were wrong - Love is not all you need. There are many more crucial aspects to a relationship. If even one is not there, no matter how much love you have for each other, it's not where you need to be. True story.
* You don't always have to share. Sure, it's good to share, but I do not share my food (unless I'm full), and you better not even think of touching my quacamole.
* When one door closes another one really does open.
* Friends matter. A lot. Don't take them for granted, and don't let them slip away when you start a new relationship.
* Pedicures are a gift from God.
* You get what you pay for/put in to it. Both sayings are amazingly true.

These lessons didn't come easy, but I love my life today, and it's because I learned them. If I forgot any, let me know!
