31 for 21: Grateful bits

I don't have alot to tell about today... and I have no great insights or thoughts to share. I have alot to say, but it's not appropriate to say it here, so I'm going to focus on some things I'm grateful for.

Just a few, then I'm headed to bed early... These are at the top of my list right now.

~I love my car. I am thankful for having the means to drive something I love so much. I spent many years driving whatever was available, some of them hand-me-downs, and they served well for their time. But I am so thankful that I finally have something I picked out and still really love to get into every time, even 2 years later.

~My daughter is so darn easy! I often say that for being so high maintenance, she's super easy to deal with. She's always happy, content to play on her own for a long time, and she loves to giggle and smile generously. Nothing better.

~I'm thankful for my husband's job and the health insurance it provides. Braska's total bills are well over $300,000 at this time, and I can't fathom trying to do that without insurance, or even without good coverage.

~Having no real work schedule is a marvelous thing! Granted, I may be called on at any time of the day to do something immediately, fixing a system or providing immediate turnaround for a client, but the flexibility of working from home and not having set required hours is such a blessing. I don't think I could ever go back to a "normal" job again. I hope I never have to try. And who lives in comfy clothes and PJs? That would be me...and Braska.

~I'm grateful for friends who aren't afraid to do the tough stuff. Friendship isn't always about the pretty times, and I am so impressed by those who have stepped up and been true friends, not worried about how it looks or how out of their comfort zone they are. You guys rock! "Good friends are willing to intrude."--TobyMac

~And finally, for now... I love my bed. It is so darn comfy, huge, and just makes everything better after a day of stress.

So I'm off...God grant me quickness to sleep and peace of thought through the night.

Streamlining the Blogs

I know it's been forever, and yes, Facebook is much to blame.  For as long as I held out and didn't join, now I see it's simplicity (and it's ability to suck up all my online time!!). BUT--After much pondering, I've decided I'm not giving up on blogging! Sometimes a narrative or story will be better served in a blog format, so I'm combining blogs into one.   Intentional Family  is our new all-in-one blog for the goings on of our family, Braska's progress, celebrations, and challenges, as well as the amazing rise of little sister Kinlee. Other places you could check out if you so choose would be our new business  Larae Photography LLC on Facebook  or on the web at  www.Larae-Photo.com , or the page for my hobbies-gone-busy  Just RK Designs . So if there ARE any blog readers still out there, please come on over to the new place and join up for the ride.  All the old posts from the 3 previous blogs will be there soon so you can catch up if you ...

New Fave-o Site

Get a cup of good hot chocolate, put on your comfy clothes, and settle in with some non-rushed time to check out Dan Drinker's site . I can't even tell you how much I love watching these videos and reading what his family has written about him. I feel like I want to tune into the Dan Drinker 24-hour channel or something. Dan is a young man with DS who is living and loving life, and his younger brother Will captures much of it on video. It's priceless, in my opinion. I just love it. Check out the blog, watch some videos, tell them that you've been there. I wish this guy lived near me! The most recent post, about Breaking Up with Christine , is funny and poignant. Here's a couple of my other favorite videos so far... I've still got more to watch! His 7th Prom A Basketball Date with Sarah
