i am so thankful for my family. i am so thankful that ryan was able to travel with me out to New Jersey. we both wish the trip could have been longer so we could have spent more time with everyone. thankfully this weekend i will be heading to grand rapids to see my siblings in their ballet performance and i will be able to spend time with them and my aunt laurel who is coming to see the show! yay how exciting. this is me eating NJ pizza... i crave it daily. my intestins are not doing so well. i need to figure out what i'm allergic to. a prayer request for healing & self-discipline to stay away from the foods that are hurting me more ( like ice cream & breads...) it's hard to stay away.

so facebook took me on a journey through my own life earlier this week. in someways i am thankful for how it has done so, in other ways i am sad that my own mind has blocked so much out. maybe when we die our profiles will be used to write biographies... that would be an interesting job, to go through peoples profiles after they are gone & write their story... knowing all their secret messaging conversations, likes, causes & photos that created their digital identity...it's interesting to think about.
