Numbers
Sometimes I do things like this just to feel a little more connected to people far away.

Hearts
The little pattern is the cross stitch heart I’ve started to put on all the items I make and send to my friend or her family. I just finished one birthday present late and will be finishing the other shortly. We live so far away that visiting is difficult,

Little things
I like my hands. They do not look too dainty and they look like they’ve seen more than the inside of a glove.
Today is the day they start going through my grandparents house. My sister and I were asked if there was something we’d want if my aunts did not. The things we could think of were small and sentimental. I’ve had this conversation with cousins before and it was the same experience. Little things from the kitchen, a biscuit cutter, the box that holds the matches, a pan that fits in the toaster oven and always salt and pepper shakers.

Dear April,
Good bye April. While you have been benevolent the last few years I am still weary of the time you do spend here. You are the month I wait for things to blow up and spew horrific events. Maybe the years of engagement, baby announcements and the beginning of hiking season have tamed your wickedness.
I’m still going to keep an eye on you though.

Birthdays
This year I turn 30. I don’t really like birthdays in general. They have never been horrible usually turn out pretty well actually, but they are just not an event I get excited for. I have friends who love them and start planning months in advance but that’s not me.
This year I’m trying to participate in 100 happy days #100happydays. I am going to work on being a happier person this year and work on marking some bigger things off my giant to do list. Starting with another tattoo this summer and a long hiking trip with the husband.

Support
There seems to be a growing number of people in my life going through changes in their life. For some of them it was expected to some extent, part of growing up. For some, while others may think it’s long overdue, it’s liberating and I hope a new beginning for life in general. For some it’s a chance to embrace life for real.
I’m most proud of a friend who is working on taking back control of her life and working through some crazy traumatic events in her life
I hope this is a new beginning for her.

I would like to be closer to my littlest sister but I feel like she sees me more like a parent because of our large age difference. I probably don’t help with that and treat her that way too. This ends up making her hide things from me. That’s part of being a teenager but jeeze it’s frustrating to me. I’m sure I am not the fun sister out of her two older sisters, if she goes to either of us with personal stuff it will be our other sister. Maybe she is the non judgmental one.
She will be visiting in the next month and hopefully that will go well. She is really a neat kid. But damn teenagers are confusing.

2014
I think this year needs to be a year of getting around to things. Getting passports going on vacation, saving for a house or at least to move. Probably some more adult type things like tattoos and school.
