"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."

Peas in a Pod

Sometimes we babysit my cute niece, Tacie, when we are staying in Idaho. Maddie adores her and tells me how bad she wishes Tacie was her sister. They play so good together and make each other laugh so hard. Maddie is always telling me how bad she misses Tacie when they are apart. I am so glad she loves all of her cousins and I hope they are always close. Tacie is a doll and we love getting to spend time with her.
