Angel Whispers

Snow has always been a magical experience for me, especially the first snow of the season. I have my grandpa to thank for showing me the magic in something so ordinary. I can remember when I was little and it would start snowing I would immediately go to his house and sit in his garage with him and just watch it come down. Not saying a word. Words took away from the magic. If you’ve ever been outside while it was snowing you’ve experienced this magic whether you realized it or not. The magic of snow comes from the silence. Before it even starts you can tell it’s coming because the world goes quiet. It feels as is everything and everyone in the world has stopped and are collectively holding their breath because they know something magical is about to happen. And then the snow starts. The world is still quiet except for one thing, angel whispers. If you listen very carefully you can hear the snow hitting the ground. That sound is what my grandpa called angel whispers. I lost my grandpa when I was 11 years old but every year without fail I go outside during the first snow of the season and let the angel whispers surround me. Because in that moment he’s there with me watching and listening. So the next time it snows go outside, be extremely quiet, and just experience the magic happening around you.

This quote comes from one of my favorite trilogies… Twilight.

Childhood is not from birth to a certain age, and at a certain age the child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.

-Bella Swan

Quote 54!

We finally put our tree up last night after the town Christmas parade with the kids, while singing Christmas tunes at the top of our lungs. By the time we were done I was drenched in Christmas spirit. Then the weather today reached close to 80 degrees and it was gone again…

Quote 52!

Six years ago today, God gave me my forever. We have been through hell and back but we made it through together and stronger. He is my rock, my safe place, and my dream come true. I love him more today than the day we said I do. 6 years down, forever to go!
