Sheryl Crow

Last night her in Nampa

So last night Mari and I got to go see Sheryl Crow and it was awesome! She was so much better than I thought she would be! Brandi Carlile opened for her and she was just as good! We even got to meet her and get her autograph! What a great night!

• When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. Helen Keller


• Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities. Aldous Huxley


• There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you. David Burns, Intimate Connections


• The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling. Samuel Taylor Coleridge


• Happiness is not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.

I just needed a little pick me up and these helped a little so I thought I would share them with you.

Expectations: If you have them people will fail them. So do yourself a favor and just don't have any, it sure beats having people disappoint you.

Kelly and Family

Mike's Kids, don't have a pic with me of him
Amy and her family



So, I totall adore my older (half) brother and sisters. Christi lives in Utah and I don't get to see her very much anymore but wish I did. Amy just lives down the road here in Eagle and we are really close and my parents always tell me how much my personality is like hers (which is a total compliment since I adore her!). Mike lives down the road in Nampa but works all the time, he is pretty quiet but I think thats just because us girls are so loud, he's hilarous whenever you get a chance to talk to him, he was really supportive and sweet when I was going through a rough time and always has tickets to the gun show. Kelly is the closest in age to me of my older siblings, she's seven years older than me and definelty the most easy going out of all of us.


For as long as I can remember I have looked up to my big brothers and sisters and just idolized them, and even as I'm grown up a part of me still does that. I've always wanted to be best friends with all of them and hang out all the time and just call and chat with them. They were so much older than me growing up that I saw them ocasionally but I always wanted to see them more. I guess unless you have older brothers and sisters you can't really understand how much you look up to them and the way you look at them. Even though they are my half brothers and sisters, we have the same dad, there was never a difference to me, they are my siblings.

Anyway, I have hardly seem any of them this past year, we are all really busy with kids and work and everything. I have really missed them and felt a little sad I haven't gotten to hang out with them much this year. And I've been a little sensitive lately, sometimes I feel like they just see me as an annoying little sister and don't want to be friends with me. So when they reach out to me it means so much to me. Yesterday Kelly sent me this really sweet email and it toally made my day!
sara- Not that I would be of much help, but can we help you out in any way with your move? Have you moved yet or are you moving soon? Let me know. Maybe we all could meet for lunch sometime. love ya, Kelly

Kelly's pregnant too, hence the not much help part, she's due the end of October and is having a boy also. I should probably wrap this up, so my whole little lesson I decided I was supposed to learn, or at least needed reminded of was to follow your heart and not worry about what the other person might be thinking or feeling, to just love them, despite what they do or don't do so you can be at peace with yourself. I don't know that it is coming out right but hopefully that makes a little sense. I hope you all have a fabulous Friday.

Much Love-Sara
