The Eid's Have It: Lake Bound

We are heading up to Sandy Lake for the weekend! It is our annual Jovle/Eid getaway to the cabin and I can't wait! I hope the weather holds out--just heard "chance of showers, but not an all day rain. Don't cancel your outdoor plans" We better see some sun!

It shows the cabin in the background, but best of all it shows the giant raft we have! See that big blue thing that Brent is blowing up...oh yeah...the party raft! It seats 8--in lounge type seats--ahhh I can't wait!

Here's hoping the sun is shining,

the drinks are cold and the breeze keeps the bugs away!

Why Do I blog?

Welcome. Why do I blog? I blog for my two little girls so that when I am long gone, soaking up guilt-free sun rays, laying on a big fluffy cloud up in Heaven, they can remember. They can remember the simple things. The little things. Those things that are small to everyone else, but mighty to this mommy's heart. I want my children to know that not only the major milestones were remembered, but also the little milestones. Her first bike ride, her first bee sting, the first time she planted seeds in the garden. They will both know, not only were they loved deeply, but also the magnitude of that depth. Why not just journal? Because part of me hopes that in my day to day writing, someone out there in this mighty World can relate. Can relate to one little thing that runs through all of us--the desire to remember the times that made us laugh, smile, cry and most importantly, treasure our loved ones.
