You Know You Have It Good

You know you have it good.....


You know you have it good when you can sit around with your boyfriend and his brother drinking coffee and listen to his brother talk about his nasty, gross, yet interesting dissection camp.

You know you have it good when you can sit in your parent's Sunday School class and watch the Truth Project (and sadly finish it) and become terribly intelligent.


You know you have it good when you can go over some friends' house and eat lunch and have a good time of fellowship.

You know you have it good when you and your bestest friend get to ride in a tire swing and just be happy and have fun and be bestest friends.

You know you have it good when you and your boyfriend's sisters get pushed around in a tire swing by your boyfriend. And you and the two girls get to scream and yell at him since he nearly smashes you into a tree like twelve and a half times.

You know you have it good when everyone you see compliments you on your adorable Horton Hears a Hoo t-shirt.

You know you have it good when you can sit around on a Sunday afternoon and just waste your time and love those lazy summer afternoons that you're living.


You know you have it good when your mom takes you to drive for an hour around town to get your driving hours in.

You know you have it good when your mom also takes you to Starbucks every Sunday afternoon so you can talk about how some people just seem bipolar and how life is good and just every detail of life.


You know you have it good when your mom and you are driving home and a storm is brewing up, crazy lightning bolts are everywhere, and you decide to go home as fast as you can.

You know you have it good when as you're driving home from the crazy storm you drive by the train tracks and there is a train going across, and you catch up with the train, and you look over at the guy controlling it and he waves at you. And you're just happy that some people are friendly. And you're happy that people like that just make your day.

You know you have it good when you get home and your dad is on Facebook looking at the cute video you posted of yourself singing "Jesus Love Me" when you were two, and the whole family is watching and laughing.

You know you have it good when you're sitting on your couch with the power out with a couple of candles lit so you can see, blogging away about good life is, eating pizza and drinking Gatorade, watching it rain and listening to it hitting the windows and the thunder booming like crazy.


You know you have it good when you're sitting in the dark waiting for the power to come back on listening to your brother play Phil Keaggy on his guitar and knitting fingerless gloves for this autumn


You know you have it good.

That's how I know I have it good.
