I am my grandmother's granddaughter.

Well. A few random things.

First, Micah Miller, my dear friend, got MARRIED yesterday. I can't believe it, but I couldn't be happier for her as she starts her new life. I could tell while I was home that she was genuinely happy. I was so blessed to have gotten the opportunity to be there.  My favorite part of the wedding was that there were subtle unique qualities that made the wedding very.. Adam and Micah, but it still somehow remained very traditional. One thing that really got me is that they got married where their church building will be built. They had family members build the walls around the 'congregation'. The foundation of their marriage is family and God. I loved it.  I love how we all cling so much to those who build us.

Speaking of those who build us, another reason I needed to go home this weekend was to go through some of my grandmothers things. My grandma recently had to move into a nursing home, so she can't really keep everything. I was able to go through a lot of jewelry. It is REMARKABLE how much Betty Everson's personality shined through her jewelry. Talk about random, fun, exciting, unique, and loud jewelry! I loved it. I took several things that I want to wear right now and are super awesome. It's amazing how fashions come back. I also took things she wore all the time, special keepsakes that will forever make me think of my grandma.




Another random thing. I have lots of random things. My friend and mentor, Carla Watson, suggested a book! She passed it on to me, and I have to pass it on to all of you. The people code. It's a book about our personalities, our strengths & weaknesses.  Not only to I love hearing about myself, I also love hearing about other people.. learning about our personalities and things. It's just so.. accurate? It's crazy! It's based on colors, and I have a "blue" personality. This is what it says...

"At their best, Blues are steady, ordered, and enduring.  They offer culture, beauty, and emotional security. Blues love with passion. They see intimate relationships and creative accomplishments rather than material possessions as being the finer things in life.  They bring culture and decency to home and society.  They appreciate uplifting experiences, and feel most comfortable in creative and productive environments.  They want a sense of purpose in their lives, and willingly sacrifice personal luxuries for more meaningful accomplishments.  They are highly committed individuals.  Loyalty to people and sincerity in relationships are their trademarks."

"At their worst, Blues are probably their own worst enemies.  Their self righteous attitude is merely a cover for their deep insecurity. They are often too emotional and judgmental to enjoy intimacy. They continually depress themselves and others with unrealistic expectations of perfection.  Lacking trust, they find themselves skeptical and suspicious of others.  Blues often find themselves bitter, resentful, and unforgiving of those who have crossed them in life."
