A few notes about the author

I want to get to a point in my life where I am not hard on myself. I want to get to a point where I embrace of single weird thing about myself and know that it is what Jesus loves. I want to feel confident and secure in every single moment. I know it is a work in progress but I am working hard at achieving this. 

Some things I keep trying to change about myself and if I could just tell myself that I will never be this person then I CAN MOVE ON. 

I hate shaving my legs and in the Winter I rarely do. I hate plucking my eyebrows. I hate getting my hair done, and hate doing my own hair out of a box. I like wearing the same clothes over and over again. I hate brushing my teeth at night. UGH. I hate going to bed late. I hate diets. I hate that I love facebook, but it connects me to the world I feel so far from. I hate that I love reality television. I keep running into more and more people who think people who like this are terrible people. Well guess what. I love it and I am happy about it. It is my escape. I hate blow drying my hair. I hate reading fantasy novels. It never could happen so why am I wasting my time. I hate that I love fast food!! Although I rarely eat it now. Reading all these back I guess it is I just hate grooming. HAHA. I just hate taking so much time everyday to take care of myself. I feel that there is so much more to do then spend 1 hr on makeup. I just need to own the fact that I am perfectly fine with no make up, bushy eyebrows and long haired legs. I now own it. 

What I do love. 

Smiles. Giggles. Kissing Ame's chubby cheeks. Kissing Ame every single second. Kissing Andy. Sending sweet text messages to Andy or silly ones. Singing (even though I am terrible) Making people laugh. Showering. My Jesus time. My coffee. My water bottle. My SLEEP. At least 8 hours. My family is EVERYTHING. Walking, I love walking. I love taking everything in as I am walking around a city. So much to see. I love organization and being CLEAN. I love cleaning. I love doing laundry. Weird I know. It is my zen. When I am in my kitchen cleaning the dishes I am in a very happy place. Listening to Jesus songs. Cuddling. A good snapchat. A good laugh. I love to take a very deep breath. I love listening to relaxation music. I love being calm, I really have had to work on being calm and patient. I love the state I am in when I am calm. It is a euphoria. I love Starbucks. I love a good chat with a friend where I leave and think what did we talk about? I love sunshine. I also love rainy days, makes us stop and smell the roses. I love feeling healthy. I love clean sheets. I love sleeping with one sock on and one sock off. I love my room cold so I can snuggle with the sheets. I love living in cities where there is so much to do. I love life. Most of all I love our Heavenly Father. Without him I would be nothing.
