More of Me
Instagram
Look at these babies! This was one week before we married. More than 37 years ago. Everyone tells you time flies and it does. One day you are ignoring the wisdom of your elders and the next your hard earned wisdom is being ignored by a younger generation! Inside you feel 25 or 30 and outside you are starting to see your skin sag and droop so you look more and more like a Picasso painting than your 25-year-old self. Tie widths change faster than your purchase patterns. Culture shifts and shapes into something that is vaguely similar to what you knew and all together different. You want to participate and speak life and wisdom into it but you just need a nap. But some things never get old, like my love for this man, God's love for me, and the gratefulness in my heart--always true, stronger with age, more beautiful each day.One of my favorite people got married tonight. I am so happy for @karleerae9 and Austin! We had SO much fun!! Congratulations🥂🍾💘!🥰Have you ever seen a bee drunk on pollen? Just watch. If there are bee police, I think this guy is in trouble!We have definitely passed the "knee high by the fourth of July" standard here in Little Chute.Just a very large birdbath, I guess?A pale rainbow kisses the earth in a whisper of God's promise.Quotable
“The antidote to compromise is simply this: work twice as hard on your character as you do on your competency.”

The Small Joys of Spring
