Yellow flowers and Chocolate Chip Cookies :)

 I've been at my dad's house since Sunday night and it has been really nice and refreshing.  Yesterday my Pops took me out and we got the last few things to make cookies.  Then I made some pretty great chocolate chip cookies...well...they were alright ;) after feeling slightly disappointed in my average tasting treats, I compensated by watching way too much of How I Met Your Mother.  Which I enjoyed.

Today my step mom and I made spaghetti while rocking out to 80's music.  She taught me some dance moves that, she promises, will impress some handsome guy enough to marry me. She told me it will always make him laugh.  She proved her point when my dad walked in from work two minutes later and she busted a few dance moves that made my dad chuckle.  My dad chuckles more then he laughs.  I love it :) 

After dinner we went on a walk.  By we I mean my Dad, JJ, me, Charlton, and Shy.  The last two are the dogs, but still very important family members :) The deeper we got into our walk, I felt like our surroundings grew greyer and greyer.  The pavement we walked on, the cloudy sky, and the dismal looking houses. It was kind of depressing!  But all the way down this pathway were small yellow flowers that made me stop and reflect.  Sometimes you're put in hard situations or positions that overwhelm you. These beautiful yellow flowers made me realize that no matter what path of life you're walking down, you can always find something or someone beautiful. 

Whatever you look for in life, you'll find.

  If you're focused on the negative, you'll never find the hidden yellow flowers along the sometimes grey pathway.

It's ironic how plants gravitate towards the sun.  Always searching for the rays of brilliant light that they thrive on. 

Without it, they die.

And now I'm sitting here while my Dad watches American Pickers, watching him try to figure out his new IPhone.  It's pretty funny to watch him dramatically slide his finger across the screen and keep his hand completely still with his finger still pointed until he knows the button he pressed worked. I can't stop laughing at him :)

Well It's been a great two days and I'm happy I'll be living closer to my Dad&JJ!

I have a feeling this adventure is going to be even better then I expected :)
