A Quote to Live By...

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

A Great Few Days...

These last few days have been great. I've seen my two little brothers and sister go through a mountain of milestones. On Thursday night I watched my brother Isaac play his last high school football game. That night I also watched my brother Nura as he was crowned Homecoming King! On Friday I watched all three perform in Lipsync (a homecoming tradition at my old and their current high school where we lipsync songs from decades 60s-90s) and today I watched them all get ready for their Homecoming dance. It will be Isaac and Nura's last and it's Ellie's first! When did we all get so old? Anyway, it's been a great time. In addition to that I've gotten to hang with my bestfriend, play with my little cousins, and take my puppy for long walks in this beautiful weather. Plus I found really awesome sunglasses, vintage copies of Andersen and Grimm's fairytales, and Starbucks has officially brought back the Christmas cups. Oh AND I got to vote for the first time ever which was an amazing experience that I am so grateful I was able to have. So although it's only Saturday night, my weekend literally could not get any better! Here are some pictures!
