"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Turkey Day

We had Thanksgiving at my parents house this year. All of my siblings were there with their families, my granparents and my uncle Gary, who makes the best cranberries in the world! We all drove from Idaho on Thanksgiving morning in a storm and thought we might be stuck there for the holiday, but we braved the roads and made it just in time for dinner! It was delicious and we had a great time visiting and playing games with everyone. I sure am thankful for all the blessings in my life this season. Maddie and I are super anxious because we get to see daddy tomorrow. It has been almost 7 weeks.
