So Young

I have too many things on my mind, too many words forming and I can't keep them all straight.  I'm filled with thoughts about family, springtime, Easter, brownies, plyometrics, love, and a hundred other random things that all come together when I'm rocking Heather in the darkness of twilight, but that I can't sort out when I'm in front of my computer.  It may seem like a week since I've written a blog post, but trust me I write five in my head every night.

In the meantime, while I get all that stuff sorted out, guess what I found?  Pictures.  From assorted experiences ranging from my Spring Breaks when I was just a wee bitty little college student at Ye Olde Purdue University to visits with my sister in Utah.  And so I think I'll post some of them, and pretend that I got to go somewhere sunny and nice like in the good old days.  But for now, since it is late and I am tired, how about a few teasers?
 I have no idea why my sister and I are posed like this on the streets of Provo? I don't know where we are.  Also, my dad hated it when I made that face in pictures, and now that I am older and wiser I can totally see why.

 And then Stacy was tired after driving to Alabama.

My sister and her new man Jeff.
And then they got married.
And she just had their third baby.

 The gang, at Panama City Beach.  Yes, the locale of both the shark story and the cage dancing story.

 One time, my friend Marc picked me up from the airport dressed like this, and holding that sign.  Maybe the coolest thing that ever happened to me?  Well, that makes me sound kind of lame, so I'll put it in the more vague but still true category of one of the Top Five Coolest Things That Ever Happened To Me (and it might be number one.)

 Just another windy day in Mexico.

 And then this happened.

 And I fell asleep in the car on the long long long long drive to Alabama.

Some pretty cool kids here, just hangin'.

So, that was really fun for me.  
You want more?
Well, it's coming.

    Wow! Great pics. I remember being so tired after driving that I fell in a puddle on the floor. Spring Break with you was always so fun. I really want to go back. Sick of this cold weather! We should put it in a hole! :) ~Crunchers

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
