Like the Fourth of July! We drove down to Blanding to be with Randy's family. (I don't like saying "Randy's Family" because I feel that they are just as much my family too, but ya know, I gotta specify) Now let me be honest here, I love Randy, with my whole heart and soul. But even if I didn't, I might have just married him anyway so I could be apart of the family. There is never a dull moment with the Powells. I always have so much fun when we visit them. We swam, we played volleyball, we ate, and we watched fireworks. And in between we were just together. Some of my favorite parts of the weekend, were watching the crazy random storms that rolled through. On the fourth of July it rained really hard and there was a huge lightning storm, or"nature's fireworks" as Beth would say. The combination of lightning and fireworks was quite magical. It was a fantastic weekend. I feel incredibly blessed to be apart of such a wonderful family, (though they may not feel blessed to have me be apart of their family) and it reminds me even more that God truly cares about our happiness. It would be easy to say that I am just lucky But I don't feel lucky, I feel that God has taken care of me, regardless of my many inadequacies, and given me so many undeserved blessings because he loves me, and is aware of me. He doesn't judge me by my flaws, or by my faults, but he sees what I can become, and I will work hard every single day to become that person.
Moving on. For those who don't know, "The Killers" is my favorite band of all time. And I LOVE Brandon Flowers (the lead singer) himself. Randal got me his new album "The Desired Effect" for my Birthday, and I've been listening to it non-stop. So if you've never heard of the Killers (you probably have) , or if you need some new music in your life, look them up. Here is my favorite song by Brandon Flowers. That is all.
