California

The perfect vacation; timing, place, people. It could have been a little longer, but college town was waitin for me
I didn't take like any pictures, but I did get stung by a jelly fish. Which hurt...like H-E-double hockey sticks
The Schuellers came which was so fun and we got to see Nikki and Clint & kids, and Jeff and Richelle & kids.
I love the tradition of going to IB and all the little traditions in IB. Katie's, Bibbey's Shell Shop, Cow-a-Bunga, the hotel for lunch, sleeping in the living room on mats listening to the ocean, Seacoast Pizza, The Dollar Store....it's a dream!!
It felt a little different coming back to a place I've come to since I was a kid. In a lot of ways I don't feel like a kid anymore. I felt different coming back this year. And I think it will be like that every time from now on. First time going back after my mission, after living abroad, after getting a job, after graduating college, after getting married, etc. Life changes so fast and so much is going to happen in the next 10 years!! I hope I stay the same deep down though. Nothing can change the important things; my love of family and the gospel.

Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)

Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
