So, today we celebrated Clinton's 18th Birthday and all the relatives came over for some good times. I love when our family gets together cause we always have fun, laugh, and actually enjoy ourselves.

I think laughter and happiness are so important in a person's life. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't have people who got together and just had a good time. I think it's so important to enjoy life, I find that so often we just take life so seriously, when really a serious, and sometimes moody person, often makes people feel unwelcome, or like they are not wanted around.
I hope to be the type of person who can welcome people into my home, be kind, and fun, and generous. I don't want to be someone who says... don't come over to my house.

The other thing I always love, is when we get together and play games. I LOVE PLAYING GAMES! It's so fun to just have a group of people together, doing something that we love to do, and socializing, laughing, and creating memories. I just love it.

This time of year always makes me think about all the good times that I've had throughout the year, and although there has been some tough times, it's really actually been a pretty good year.

I've had numerous get togethers with friends, all of which have been wonderful times, good memories, I've been to see my family in Saskatchewan a few times, all which were very fun times, and I have had the chance to spend quite a bit of time with my family here in bonnyville. I love seeing the Sinclair's and I do think we ought to see them more often, since they are such a fun group to hang out with. I love spending time with the little ones they are so precious. Some time this winter I want to go and build a snowman or just play outside in the snow with them. My aunts and Uncle's on my mom's side, I love all the things we do together. Although, I really wish we would do a hay ride sometime soon....

To my friends, and other peeps that read this, take time to soak in the good times. Remember the moments that make you happy, remember those times when you laugh so hard, or talk so loud, that you don't care who sees you, you don't care who hears you, because all that matters is that you are with the ones you love, and you are having a good time.

Some may say, life is much more serious than that, but if we all dwell on all the things we do wrong, we'll just keep doing them, but if we focus on all the good stuff, the stuff that makes us happy, the innocent, good times, that lift our spirits, and put a smile on our faces, if those are the times that we focus on, I think it's gonna be a good year coming up!
