Ok, so my numbers don't quite add up to five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred, but I tried. By this time next year we will be living in a new place, although we have no idea where that will be yet. I honestly don't want to think about it right now as it makes me sad and a tad stressed, but God has taken care of us so far and I have no doubt that He plans to continue...something we can ALL agree on (whether Armenian or Calvinist...haha).
"How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets?
In midnights, in cups of coffee?
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes?
How do you measure a year in the life?"
You're so creative :)
ReplyDeletePS- I finally caved on the Twilight series myself. Kyle gave them to me for Christmas and I finished the final one two days ago. Oh, and I read New Moon in one sitting. I loved it too!
So glad you love them also!! I actually...ahem, read the first, second, fourth, and THEN went back and read the third. I know that's awful, but I couldn't stand it!!!
