I'm Jill, and I live in Hutto-America a not-so-little suburb of Austin, TX. How I got here is amazing to me. But, suffice it to say, I'm just a little happy about it. I'll tell a little story about the title of this blog.
When I was going into my junior year of high school, my sister, Joy, was going to be a freshman. And we were at church camp that summer. Yes, I was (still am) a giant, uncool nerd. Anyway, we had had a great week at camp. And, I should tell you we are Methodists, so of course camp is co-ed. It was the last night of camp, friendships were renewed, many hours of 4-square, etc. and of course the DANCE (as I said we are Methodists) on the final night.
After a great week and the big finale of the dance that was always a huge build up, Joy and I made it back to our cabin all googly-eyed over a boy and the magic of the evening. And once we got into bed (bunk beds, Joy on the top bunk) the lights went off and everyone got quiet.
Soon, I heard a terrible gurgling sound from above me. The bunk bed was ... shaking? I felt a panic ... I heard a gasp for air coming from my sister's bunk. "Joy!" I said loudly. "Are you okay?"
I waited just a few more seconds before I jumped to my sister's aid when I heard, "GASP!...GURGLE...GURGLE........GAAAAAAAAAASP!.... I'M GRINNING TOO HARD!"
Some days... that's just how I feel! Amazed that I actually made enough good decisions in my life (finally) to be truly happy.
I highly recommend it... DECIDE to do what it takes to make yourself (and those you love) happy. Not happy? Fix it! Know how to fix it? Be grateful!
Of course, this simplified, drama-free lifestyle my husband and I lead also lends itself to happiness... but... that's a conscious decision too.
More about me later! Think I'll go grin on the couch with my husband!
LY!Y!
