What Ep!?

I am procrastinating again - taking a break?  Not wanting to study.

My Grandpa told me today that procrastination runs in our family, but that it saves stress.  Instead of thinking about something for a long time and worrying about it, you only have to work hard and think about it for less time!  Here are some quick Updates.

1.  It's mothers day!

My mother is awesome.  I have a big example to live up to and am very grateful for all the hard work and love she has poured into our family.  Just as my mother is awesome, so is my grandma.  :)  Grandma Margaret is on it!  She is really organized and basically everything I want to be.  If I could be a laid back version of Grandma Margaret, my mother, and ... mother teresa - that would be insane.  That's ok though, I like how God made me and continues to work in my life.







2. Lisie's home!
Lisie came home last week.  She is currently sharing a room with me, this morning I filmed her snoring and than woke her up so I could show her the evidence that she snores (sorry lisie!) good times!  Also, at church today the speaker talked about hard ware goggles and choosing someone to share the joys and trials in life. Lisie grabbed the notecard and wrote her name and my name by the goggles.  Now we are "goggle buddies."  She likes to sit close to me because we are "goggle buddies" and demand I"m extra nice to her because we are "goggle buddies," and give into her peer pressure for anything because we are "goggle buddies." She also likes to make goggle sign language whenever I'm in the room.  It's nice having Lisie home.

3. Grandpa is preparing me for the mission field!

My Uncle Nate (above) and Grandpa are working on a mobile chicken coop house with free range prototype for the orphanage in Africa. They are building/designing it in the garage.  Grandpa was drilling holes with these cool tools and than called me over - he said "Hey, Alison, come over here let me teach you this stuff since you're going to be a missionary." Basically, they taught me how to drill holes and than place the screws in!  It is a lot of fun and I got the hang of it over time.



Found this music video this week - LECRAE dum dum

Also - for the detail oriented...The flight time on the previous post is wrong.  I think it's at 4:15 - minor detail.
Happy Mothers Day!!!

Wake Up

Missed the train.  More like, I ran to the pay slots at the station, only to realize I didn't have money with me, so naturally had to turn around and walk back to my truck as the train pulled away.  But it's all good!  It gave extra time to pack lunch for today, and discover this youtube video. I highly suggest you watch it.

Sons and Daughters - wake up

Here we stand,
Our hearts are yours,
Not our will,
But yours be done.
