I’ve known Brooke for 12 years now. Wait. That can’t be right. We met in 1997 when we lived in rooms next to each other our freshman year in college. It’s 2009. 2009-1997=12. Yikes. I am getting old.
So I’ve known Brooke for a while now. Brooke looooves quotes. She used to go to Books A Million on some rainy afternoon…..ok probably on some sunny afternoons but I’m trying to make her look a little more intellectual and a little less weird…love ya B!…sit in the card aisle and just read the quotes. She obviously wasn’t reading the ones like I sent my father in law (here’s your bday potty -> insert pic of big toilet here <- hilarious!) but, rather the ones that could describe how you were feeling in a sentence or two. It’s hard to describe how you’re feeling in a sentence or two.
Anyway, so Brooke and I crazy different. It’s amazing we’re still friends. We’re still friends because of her really. I can get…ummm…rather….emotionally introverted?? Brooke has always patiently fought for our friendship. Throughout the years, though, she’s made me a little more in touch with my emotional side. She’s a good friend.
Now, in honor of B, I will post two quotes that have stuck with me the last couple of days. I got them off facebook. Hey, I said I was a LITTLE more in touch with my emotional side.
From my friend Jasmaine’s page…
Discern what you let in and always be sure to give out LOVE.
From my friend Christa’s page…
‘To get something you never had, you have to do something you neverdid.’ When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you,but merely opening your hands to receive something better. ‘The will of God will never take you where the Grace ofGod will not protect you.’
Oh yeah, I’m all deep like that….
I must say that I’m extremely lucky. Trev takes jake every weekend morning so that I can sleep in a bit. Before you get too into the awww, you’re so lucky…the man has only had to wake up in the middle of the night for the kid once is the almost 17 months jake’s been alive…but, yeah…awwww, I’m lucky.
They have this ritual where they head to the grocery store and pick up breakfast. The standard weekday waffles or pancakes will not do on the weekends. You have to have a chocolate covered cream filled donut. I really need to jump on the nutrition bandwagon at somepoint.
I often wonder what the do in the 2 hours they have time alone. I have visions of Trev teaching him the alphabet, colors, alegbra, or maybe even Shakespeare. Ummm…wrong….
