Life is Good

So I wanted to write a happy blog. I usually get on here when I'm feeling down about something (I got plenty to talk about there), or have some revelation about my walk with Christ, but not this time. This time I just want to say what about my life makes me happy. I'm extremely blessed to be able to take 9 years to finish undergrad, let alone to be thinking of grad school. To have the great friends I have. Ones that convince me to visit their churches, go ice skating with, watch silly movies, camp outs, silly trips, or even wedding crashing. I have amazing parents that love me, especially when my dad tells me he talks about me daily, and a mom who comes in to help my sister get her house ready to sell. A sister who has let me call her house home for nearly 7 years, and occasionally takes me to a Cubs game with her. Then a brother who although I haven't always seen it (but he seems to), has been my closest friend throughout the years. And his wife and awesome boy and girl who are so much fun to be around, and always bring a smile to my face. Not to mention her family who has such compassion to love kids and include me in whenever I can. I have a God who loves me and takes care of me. Who teaches me something new whenever I stop to listen. I have grown up with amazing mentors in my life that showed me what it looks like to put God first. Thanks Jon, Paul, Todd, Andy, Brad, and so many more. They are people that I wouldn't be able to shoe God's love the way I can without first being shown God's love. So thank you everyone for helping me in whatever way you have. From the freshman I met in the library to Jordan whom I've known since junior high. You help me be the man I am. And I very much enjoy being the man I am, and hope you enjoy me too.
