Spring Break - Cruise to Mexico

The snow continues to haunt me.  I think it might melt away today, and maybe not snow again?  Should I risk even saying that?  Knock on wood...

 Well, I'm taking a journey back in time to my Spring Break trip to Mexico, I think maybe this was to Cozumel?  Yes, that sounds right.
First of course, we had to drive to Alabama.
I guess this was just sometime on our way, but I mostly post it because I miss those pants and that sweatshirt.  Where did it go?


 Dinners on the cruise - I look at these pictures and I think, where did all of those clothes go?  OOOOH yes, I remember, I gave them away in my huge clothing purge after Hallie was born when I didn't know what to do with my new strangely shaped body.

That's our cruise ship.

 On the beach.  I don't know what those crusty stairs are behind us...


I have to remind myself that this hot humid weather is coming our way to Nebraska soon, too.  It will be here and then I will be crying and moaning and complaining on this here same blog that it is too hot and too humid and it makes me sick and tired and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I'll try not to do that this summer.  Maybe this summer I'll try to embrace being sweaty and sticky and hot and uncomfortable. 

I can do that, if you'll just come out and play, Oh Mr. Golden Sun.

Deal?

    The cruise was so much fun. I love reliving our college days! Especially the warm weather related ones! I recall getting really sunburnt on this cruise. I think I look pretty red in the last picture. These make me totally miss you! Let's do another spring break next year? Or soon when we are all done having babies. I will drive Frank. ~Crunchers

    It is funny—I wonder the same thing about clothes when I look at old pictures. I wonder where all of my cute ones went, and then I realize that I gave them away. Right now I am realizing that I gave away a lot of clothes when Danny was a year or so old, because they were "fat" clothes. Now that I am in that awkward stage in between "normal" and maternity, I am wishing I still had my "fat" clothes, because I have almost nothing that fits. Why did I give them away?! So short sighted.

    And I am enjoying all of your sunshiney pictures. :) It snowed here today.

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 ...
