Personality:
11. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don’t have negative thoughts over things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don’t overdo. Keep your limits.
14. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake.
17. Envy is a waste of time. Be grateful for what you have been given.
18. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
20. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
21. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away (like algebra class) but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
22. Smile and laugh more.
23. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

we are a FAMILY!!!
i love family & i might be biased, but johnny bear and i have one killer family! we have had the time of our lives the past couple of weeks…first, we had my precious aunt and uncle in town for the week…i just love them. they are hip. they are rad. they are pretty tight if i do say so myself. we went to baseball games and shopping & who can forget all the yummy food we ate! it was a blast spending time with them and can’t wait for them to come down again soon…this is their third time visiting us whoop whoop.
then, the bowers crew came into town…now let me tell you a little about the bowers. they don’t do things half way…go big or go home is their motto and i like it. they are SO much fun to be around…(i joke that i married Johnny for his family, but it’s kind of true…i love them!) we rode four wheelers all over the place, went go-kart racing…i was driving like a bat out of you know where…which isn’t any different then what i usually do…drilled poor mama teri. she had no idea what was coming for her! ate at a bazillion yummy & delish restaurants, ate way too many carmel apples, got the yummiest frozen yogurt ever…shopped ‘til we dropped…marci officially beat me the shopping department…i never thought i could meet anyone that could outlast me shopping, but today boys & girls…it has been accomplished by the one and only marci teri bowers! cruised around in the jeep…and may or may not have gotten a mouth full of bugs! got attacked by the lunatic ducks we have here at our apartments…went to see rango (ps. don’t go see it! it was so BORING! i am never allowed to choose the movies ever again!) and so much more! we had a ball with them & miss them already (pardon the no pics, they are coming shortly!)
