30 things that i learned in the 30 days of june

1.     Wearing a knee-length skirt to go ice-skating in not a good idea.  When you fall on your bare knee it burns, really bad.

2.     Kids say the darndest things. 

My five year old cousin Fender:  I’m hungry.

Me:  Ok, what do you want to eat?

Fender: My mommy usually gives me chocolate doughnuts when I’m hungry.

Me:  Are you sure about that?

Fender:  Yep… I like chocolate doughnuts!

3.     My little brother isn’t a baby anymore.  Fourteen years old, I can’t believe it!

4.     I might be obsessed with Bible journaling

5.     It’s dark in Target when the lights go out.  I mean like can’t see your hand in front of your face dark.

6.     Chobani chocolate haze yogurt is delicious.

7.     Biology CLEP prep is a 37 week course!  So maybe I’m not going to CLEP out of Biology this summer.

8.     All clownfish are born male and the most aggressive one become the female of the bunch.  If the female dies, then a male switches his gender and takes her place.  I'm serious .We serve an amazing creator don’t we!  

9.     The F’s can keep a secret!  Thanks so much for surprising us with Hattie and Jordan’s big news.  Congratulations on the engagement, I am so happy for you guys!

10.  I have discovered how to tell my cousins 9 month old identical twins apart…have me smile at them.  Kara Lauren starts screaming and Lana Kathrine starts reaching for me.

11.  Reba and I are capable of being responsible adults.  Who knew driving into town by ourselves could be so much fun.

12.  I am an awesome swim teacher.  I got all three of my cousins back floating.

13.  Macaw parrots pull out their feathers when they get mad or stressed.  Poor Gus, he looked so pathetic.

14.  God created light and dark three full days before He created the sun, moon, and stars.  I’ve known this all of my life but I never really had thought about it.  “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof” Revelations 21:23.

15.  Poor Reagan gets depressed when Harlie leaves her with us to dog sit.

16.  Don’t go into Walmart and expect to try on a shirt at ten o’clock at night.  It makes the lady very upset.

17.  Veggie Tales gets more and more amusing the older I get.

18.  You can give dogs a Melatonin if they get stressed during a thunderstorm.

19.  In our society today humans take nearly one trillion photos a year, which means that we are taking more photos every few minutes than in the entire nineteenth century.  

20.  Any time my sister shows me a new song, it follows me.  I mean I will have never heard that song before and after she plays it for me it will be on in every store I walk into in town.

21.  You can fix Earl Grey tea like iced sweet tea and it is delicious. 

22.  The traditional June wedding came about in the fifteen hundreds.  People would take their yearly baths in May and would wed in June while they were clean.

23.  The wedding bouquet is also from the fifteen hundreds and was carried to cover up the smell of body odor.

24.  This site is going to get me into a lot of trouble.

25.  My feet are too big to find any cute shoes.

26.  You can find anything on Pinterest.

27.   Sometimes all you can do is pray and let it go.

28.  I would rather watch cheesy TV shows from the sixties (aka. Emergency, Hawaii Five-0, Dragnet) and I blame my grandma completely. 

29.  Skirts with pockets are a rare luxury. 

30.  Never assume that cookies are chocolate chip, they might be raisin and that makes for a very nasty surprise.
