This is the great and wonderful Hillyard Book of Adventures. Since the moment we found each other, Landon and I have gathered little clips of memories into this this silly little list. We wrote just enough to spark our memory so we could relive it all - the good and the bad - over and over. The list isn't detailed or proper english for that matter, but it is full of our personalities and brings a smile to my face to see all the things we have experienced and accomplished together. Sometimes a paragraph, other times only a word is needed to recreate these moments; how fun it is to look back and see our happy little story! And yet there are still so many empty pages to be filled.
No matter how hard it is to consistently document our lives, I have come to realize how important it is to hold these memories close and relive them often. Life can be bumpy sometimes, and when it seems like I can't move forward, I look behind and see how far we have come and all the blessings of joy we have received. Life is so beautiful. Every new day, I am grateful for my not-so-perfect, up and down, crazy fun, always changing life.
So go start your storybook and read it often. I promise it will be far better than the fairy tales. Dream Big! but don't forget to also ponder the small and simple moments....and just ENJOY!
