Patience, It's an Acquired Taste

But it's one I'm acquiring! Slowly, but surely I'm learning patience. It might have something to do with waiting 3 months to find a job and other such things. I don't get frustrated very easily anymore, but I am still very impatient about some things. I'm trying not to go into detail about what though. :) But I'm learning patience and I'm glad, because I know it's a quality I want to have when I'm a mom someday. Here's to patience.

Too Sarah

The following is a letter my five year old cousin wrote to me. :)

Sarah,
This is the most delicious kind of chips I have ever tasted! This is how the story begins. Lay's Limon Chips are the best chips I ever tasted. I saw them and went to taste them and I thought I had poisonous chips in my hands, but I like them. And some day I will send some to you so you can taste them and you'll like them too.
By Joey

He liked the chips so much he just HAD to write me a letter. It was so cute and it almost feels like an advertisement for Lay's. :) Guess I better go buy some Lay's Limon Chips! :)

If You Loved Me For Me

Today I watched one of my favorite movies with my cousin. It's called Princess and the Pauper and it's geared towards little girls. Don't make fun of me, okay? :) There is a song on there that I just LOVE! It's called If You Love Me For Me.

ERIKA:
Once a lass met a lad
You're a gentle one, said she
In my heart I'd be glad
If you loved me for me

You say your love is true
And I hope that it will be

DOMINIC:
I'd be sure, if I knew
That you loved me for me

ERIKA:
Could I be the one you're seeking?
Will I be the one you choose? Can you tell my heart is speaking?
My eyes will give you clues

DOMINIC:
What you see may be deceiving
Truth lies underneath the skin

ERIKA:
Hope will blossom by believing

BOTH:
The heart that lies within

DOMINIC:
I'll be yours
Together we shall always be as one
If you love me for me

ERIKA:
Who can say where we'll go
Who can promise what will be
But I'll stay by your side
DOMINIC:
I'll be yours
Together we shall always
Be as one

BOTH:
If you love me for me
If you love me for me

I know it's totally cheesy, but I just LOVE it! That is all. The end.

Seriously, I have the BEST Dad in the whole world. He is truly amazing. Here are the many reasons why.

• When he read stories to us, he had a different voice for every character.
• Instead of typing, he chicken pecks with two fingers.

• He is the master mind behind chickens, ducks, dogs, etc.

Dad, I love you! You are my hero and my best friend. I couldn't ask for a better father.

Love, Sarah

Neglect

If my blog seems neglected it's because I started my own blogging journal. I blog to express random feelings and when I write in my journal, those feelings are compromised so I changed from a book journal to a blog journal. It's exciting because already I have several more pages worth of words that I wouldn't have put into writing in my book journal. I will keep blogging though. Don't worry. :)
