Who doesn't love summer?



Summer is just around the corner and I am excited!! This summer will hold lots of important events for us; I will celebrate my 30th birthday and Dave and I will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Dave and I have been attempting to plan some sort of vacation as well...the important word there...attempting. I had all these wonderful ideas of doing an all inclusive resort or a cruise- problem Dave doesn't have a passport. After hours and hours and hours of talking and doing research an opportunity came up that we jumped on. One of my co-workers has a BEAUTIFUL house in Richmond Hill, GA that they're graciously offering to us for the weekend. Dave had a wonderful idea of asking my parents to join us plus Leslie and Mike...too bad Heather and Dustin can't be here. When we looked at the calendar its Father's Day weekend. I am so excited that we'll be able to spend the weekend with my Daddy in Savannah. So the tentative plans will be for Dave and I to head to another beach somewhere along the Atlantic the following week. So its not excatly Dominican Republic or a Caribbean cruise but it should be really fun.


Dave and I will be spending lots of time together this summer because Dave is now working from home. This should be interesting :) I am not quite sure how its going to work but it will be nice saving a little gas money.

40 days of Lent...40 days of Love


So I have been thinking... in the shower.I definitely do my best thinking there, not really sure why maybe its the hot water or the fact that its a little peace and quiet away from Baxter nipping at my heels.

Oh thinking...about 40 days of lent. Having been raised a Christian home and going to a Baptist church most of my life, I have heard of lent but never participated. Now that Dave and I are going to Trinity Anglican Mission we have heard more about lent. I can't think of anything that I want to give up...I know sounds selfish...but I have been giving up a lot lately now that I am on Weight Watchers (Love it by the way...would suggest to anyone who wants to lose weight!!)

So, what I have decided is that for 40 days I look for ways to show love to those around me and look for ways that God is blessing others. Shouldn't been too hard... finding ways that God is blessing others, He will have to work on me showing love.
