Always, Sometimes, Never

This post idea is making the round on blogs I read, so I decided to give it a go!


I always......

-Look at Evy, cover her up, and say "I love you" in my head to her before I go to bed at night.
-Stay up entirely too late.
-Have about 5 books I'm reading at any given time.
-Will defend the pro-life cause. Abortion incites a righteous anger in me like nothing else (but I believe in being calm, compassionate and Christlike at all times when/if discussing it).
-Am decorating in my head.
-Am planning a trip in my head.
-Am amazed how God orchestrates things.
-Watch "You've Got Mail" at pivotal moments in my life. And just regular moments too.
-Like to have an old, classic musical on for background noise.
-Love a Diet Root Beer.
-Read that if you want a "user-friendly" blog, you shouldn't have a music playlist. Um, whatever. Music is my LIFE. My blog has to have a soundtrack!
-Am at a loss for words at how much I adore my daughter and husband.
-Love looking at old family pictures and home videos. They're my favorite.


I sometimes......

-Still dream of what it would have been like to work for Disney entertainment. I am totally content and LOVE being a mom full time, though!
-Take things personally. Other times I have a really thick skin. Weird.
-Cry during movies. "Up," "The Notebook" and "Toy Story 3" come to mind.
-Get really overwhelmed and have a mild panic attack. Then I feel better and move on. :)
-Get sad that I'll never be able to read all the books that I want to or travel to see all the places I dream of. But I'll try my very best.
-Try to fix everyone else's problems.
-Don't do a good job of returning emails/phone calls. I'm pretty good with texting, though.
-Am shocked that I'm doing Couch to 5K. But I'm doing it!
-Wish I lived in another era. Maybe just for a little bit, but I'd love to experience it.
-Still remember how uncool and insecure I felt during certain times in school over the years. And I'm thankful I can walk into my high school reunion someday with my head high. I'm proud of where I am and what I'm doing (thank you so much, Lord!).


I never.......

-Take for granted that I live in the same town as my family.
-Take for granted that Kurt is an amazing husband.
-Take for granted that our family is healthy.
-Get tired of listening to musical music.
-Want to stop traveling. There's too much to see!
-Enjoyed math. Ever.
-Got tired of theater rehearsals and performances. I would gladly do 8 shows a week, no complaints.
-Drink alcohol.
-Understand why God, in His mercy, would forgive and love a sinner like me!
-Get tan (me neither, Carrie!).
-Feel like I have a well-rounded wardrobe that makes me look how I want to look.
-Will forget what it was like to see Evy for the first time.
-Allow myself to read really sad blogs. It's just to safeguard my heart; it's not insensitivity.
-Get tired of going out to eat and trying a new restaurant.
-Believed I'd enjoy blogging as much as I do!
