"Are you doing an eat-sy site?" ~Jeff asking Karli about her craft business :)
"Hey, we need the vomit bowl. Mockey's feeling -- well, you guys can take Mockey." ~JEM, stopping to get the bowl from the other car... just in case (thankfully, it wasn't needed)
JEM singing us an opera version of Nelly's Hot in Herre! :)
"Look at that, Mockey! A waterfall!! You said you'd go...." ~JEM
(After my Vegas birthday extravaganza, I said I would only hike again if there was a pretty waterfall involved. On our way to get a pic by this little waterfall, it literally turned off right as we walked up to it, which was hilarious...)
"God was saving me from hiking again!" ~Me :)
"It's kinda like having two cookie-cakes. ...Yeah, actually it's exactly like that!" ~Me, explaining the "Double Doozie!" =)

"I don't know..... I hold up a lot of things." ~JEM lol
"If I die, I want a U-haul trailer open and empty behind the hearse, to symbolize that you can't take anything with you! And Michael has to be on a horse riding behind it." ~JEM

"I love it when people die intestate!! .....I don't mean that to sound callous." ~Laura

~Laura talking about one of our lovely courthouse weddings
"Feel free to change the plan. I’ve stayed with things that I didn’t love because it seemed like I should have loved them. Pay attention to what you love, not to what you should love. Each one of us was created on purpose and for a purpose, and it’s worth taking the time to ask a million questions." ~Shauna Niequist
"Anybody can start again. You just have to be willing to deal with the results of what you've already created." ~Joyce
"This is a battle, a war, and the casualties could be your hearts and souls. In my class, you will learn to think for yourselves again! No matter what anyone tells you, words and ideas can change the world." ~John Keating
"If we're convinced God is sovereign, good, and purposeful, why would He allow or even ordain a season that has no value or contribution to our futures?" ~Beth Moore
"Death is wrong. I hate it. God hates it, too. I hate goodbyes.
But here’s the thing. At his service, nothing was shared about how Jason did or did not pick up his room. If he made his bed. Put his toys away. Nothing about how old he was when he was finally and fully potty trained. Not a word about his grades, his degrees or his titles.
Tons was shared about how people felt in his presence. There were lots of stories about his sense of humor. Words flowed about how he loved people, how he lived passionately from his heart and the joy he brought by being and offering his unique, quirky, imperfect, wonderful, on-the-road self.
It was his heart that mattered. And it’s yours that matters.
How are you doing today? How are you treating your heart?
We are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves. The thing is – we will. We will love others as we love ourselves. So if we are merely harsh on ourselves…we will be harsh to others whether we want to be or not. It will leak out.
How we treat our hearts is the way we will treat others.
And it matters."
~Stasi Eldredge I love this so much it will probably get its own post soon!
And now, one of my favorite "Friday Night Dinner" moments from Gilmore Girls! :)
