On Laughing:

"A day without laughter is a day wasted." - Charlie Chaplin

My favorite thing in the whole world is to laugh.

The joy of laughing is by far the best gift my parents have ever given me. I can't remember a day spent with my parents when there wasn't at least one hysterical outburst of laughter. At one point my mom and I were laughing so hard that air started coming out of her eyes and we almost had to pull over on the freeway because we just couldn't stop laughing. And of course the best "sleepovers" I remember were when my parents and I were all cooped up in our motor home and we would fall asleep talking and laughing with each other. There is absolutely nothing better!

I don't get to laugh with my parents nearly as often as I used to because of the 1,600 miles between us, but I am blessed to have found a best friend who also makes me laugh. Ryan always knows just what to say to make me laugh hysterically.

That's what I want to pass down to my future kiddos - laughter. It's one of the simplest things in the world, but it has made me such a happy individual.
