I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

For My Girls...


Even before Ashlynn was born I started writing a journal for her, so that some day she will be able to keep it for herself and read about her life, when she started sitting up, crawling, got her first tooth and so on. I also have one for Hailey and Alyssa, but who has the time to sit down and write in a journal as often as they'd like? So I have decided to turn them into blogs. For the simple fact that I know I will 'get to it' more often. I think Hailey was 18 months old the last time I wrote in hers! (or something like that) I'll let you know when I get them up and running!
You can see their progress here:
I will be typing up all that I have written in their journals through out the next week! Check back soon!
(ps. Ashlyn is excited and keeps asking me if she can get on her blog. She wants to take a picture of me and post it! But I told her she has to wait so that I can catch up the rest of her life first!)
