Spring Break - Florida

Today it snowed again.  So here's where we're at:
1st Day of Spring - Freezing temps, no snow
2nd Day of Spring - Freezing temps, two inches snow
3rd Day of Spring - Freezing temps, one inch of snow

Looks like the score so far is Winter: 3, Spring: 0.  You'll get yours though, Spring, I know it.

In the meantime, remember those pictures that I recently found from my college Spring Breaks?  Yeah, I'm just going to pretend that that's where I am right now, and I'm telling you all about it and we'll all bask in the warmth of memory today, shall we?

 Having dinner in our little home away from home.  I put this one up because I think it is kind of funny that we cooked meals like a big family.


 But then sometimes we went out to eat, of course.  This was one night we got a little fancified to go out.



 And of course we spent much, much time at the beach.


 This was the only picture I could find of myself in the water, I think I got a little skittish after the experience with the dolphin?  Also, wasn't there some kind of insane jellyfish problem in the water that year?  Anyone remember?


 Random, but fun.


Good night, Florida. 
Good night, hot sandy beaches. 
Good night, soft warm breezes. 
Good night, gentle waves. 
Good night laughter and fun.
Good night, good night, good night.



And then, see, I remember all of those other moments in the pictures quite clearly.  But then a picture like this one comes along, and I think

?!?!?!?! 

Who are those guys?  Why am I in a picture with them?  What is going on here, and why don't I remember it? 

Anyone?  Anyone?  Anyone?

 I do remember that shirt though, it says "I (Heart) Nerds."  Classy.

    My guess on the last one is they were hitting on you and someone talked you into a picture with them. Hahah!

    That last picture is SO random! :)

    And good grief this post made me crave sunshine and warmth. I am also tired of cold and snow, but I'm so grateful to not have everyone sick any more that I don't mind the cold as much. I am just mostly getting annoyed with having to bundle Alice up so much just to go outside.

    Well, when you think about it, doesn't everyone do crazy stuff over Spring Break that they don't remember? I sure hear about it at Ball State, haha! ;) On a serious note, I am SO over this cold weather myself! Sister Shrack just posted something on Facebook that said, "Let's celebrate the first day of Spring by building a snowman." Sad because it's true lol. I'll pretend I'm someplace warm, too. It'll come soon!

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 ...
