The best things in life are free

Rock here.

Today I had the joy of going with my oldest to have lunch on top of the world, well, on top of Richmond, anyway. 

She was so appreciative, and so thankful. She knew enough to know what most things were, and young enough to still have that sense of awe and to be unabashed about it. It took nothing but effort and time. I could have stayed in my office and eaten the same leftovers, but we got ourselves off of our rear ends, and walked all of two blocks and even detoured to walk across Capitol Square. We pushed an elevator button (OD for Observation Deck) and found ourselves on the 18th floor of City Hall loving the view.

I think of where we were four months ago, and where we are today. I pinch myself to be awake and aware, and to not let this ride, no matter how short, pass me by. Life is too short, and if we don't keep our eyes open we are fools.

Shrine Mont Camps!

For two weeks this summer I've gone to Shrine Mont, first a week at St. George's, then another at Family Camp. At St. George's we played lots of games, had a haunted-house-and-dance-party night ending in not-so-scary campfire stories, and camping. Announcements at meal times were always funny, and there were actual fans. There was also a Staff vs. The World (current staff vs. old staff) Ultimate Frisbee match. That was the most intense game I've seen in a long time. At family camp I hung out with friends from years prior and kayaked in the youth group. There was a pool party and other evening programs. On the last day, we had a talent show. All in all, it was a great two weeks.

HI! I'm Sojo  Higgins.This is my fist time on a blog,  so..   lets  gets started!  Saturday we went to see '' Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark''   on the big screen for the first timeπŸ˜†πŸ˜Šπ…΅πŸ˜‡πŸ˜ˆπŸ’₯πŸ‘»!   Of course I've  seen I. Jones, just not  the πŸ˜‡ [angel] of πŸ’€[death] scene because dad made me cover my eyes. We got seats on the front row .   Sssoo.. that means THE πŸ˜‡ OFπŸ’€SCENE WAS IN OUR FACE!  That was sweet πŸ’₯πŸ˜ˆπŸ‘»πŸ˜ƒ.   If I have only 4 words to explain the scene i'd say: Ghostbusters on a island. After  the movie we went to Bev's Ice Cream. It was a good day.

Say "Aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhh" part 1

                                                                                                                                                                    Sojo here. This blog  entery is about   TEETH . No I didn't knock out my favorite tooth . ( I don't even have a favorite tooth.)  Well I started my braces stage of my life.πŸ˜€. My  sister thinks getting braces is ARMAGEDDONπŸ’€,  Last night she wrote her Last Will & Testament. But  I think its better to get them now, rather than later. So last Wednesday I got in my spacers. I remember Selah getting her spacers a week earlier & every meal she asked for ice cream & I said she craved  ice cream too much. Then I said sorry for being so misunderstanding, because I craved ice cream after a dinner of chewy pasta. Two day later we went back to the orthodontist to do the second step. This Friday I will get my braces, but for now...                                                                ...To be continued...
