spending time

I don't know if its the fact that I'm getting older and life is teaching me lessons, or if it is because I am realizing the important things in life after living for 25 years?? But it seems like the in past few years I have realized the important things are most important.  Does that make sense?  I used to be worried about having everything perfect... perfect house, perfect car, perfect life.  Well, life is everything but perfect... at least mine isn't. 

spending time with my little brother at the bike shop.  :) loved this day.

If you have read this blog from the beginning you know what I do for a living.  I am a Radiation Therapist.  Basically I am the person that gives the radiation treatments to cancer patients.  I love my job.  Don't get me wrong, it has its ups and downs, but I do love it.  I think having this job has really helped me to realize that you really don't know what tomorrow will bring.  I have trying to live my life with that realization.  

Emma Bear last weekend.  So sweet. Still listening pretty well too.. :)

Two really different situations that have really made me think this week.  A lady I used to work with suddenly took her own life.  Terrible I know.  I was in shock... you just never know.  You never know how your words can effect someone, that is why it is so important to live like there is no tomorrow.  Speak to people with t he love of Jesus, give to people when they are in need, and love on people, hug on people... live like there is no tomorrow.  Second, a family friend passed away after a very long and hard battle to cancer.  Cancer is a crazy thing.  I was thinking about the family this morning and just thanking God that at least they had a chance to say goodbye.  Some people loose loved ones without a chance to say their goodbyes... but then again they don't have to watch their family member suffer through the last days of their life after fighting a loosing battle to a disease as dark as cancer.  Praying for both of these families today.  

E and I on our way to my grandmothers house for lunch on Sunday.  

Easter was good at our house.  We had a pretty laid back weekend.  We enjoyed a communion service with our sweet small group from church on Good Friday.  Then on Saturday we attended our churches service that was open to the community and held at the Universities basketball arena.  I am pretty sure there were over 10,000 people there! Praise God!  For some reason I usually reflect on things around times like Easter and Christmas or Thanksgiving... and looking back to last Easter so much has changed.  Good things, crazy things, and life. I am so thankful for the blessings God has given us.  I am so thankful Jesus gave his life on the cross for us to have life everlasting! So thankful.

spending time grilling and enjoying the new grill and fire pit we got. 

Life is not forever ... such a scary and amazing thought at the same time.  Thankful for everlasting life through Jesus.
