Our Newest Obsession

So I thought I would share a little about mine and Aaron's favorite pastime these days. Thanks to our great friends, Tiffany and Justin, we are going to have to enter an addiction therapy group for those obsessed with the series 24. For those of you who know me well, you know that I'm not a huge action junkie. I am a classic chick-flick kind of girl and so I've been quite surprised with how much I have loved this show! My sister and brother-in-law have raved about it for years but we never watched it until Tiffany and Justin loaned us the first season when Gracie was a little baby. It is the greatest thing to have when you are in what I lovingly refer to as "Baby Boot Camp." You know what I'm talking about, you're exhausted, up at all hours of the night and your only TV options for a 4 AM feeding are Elimidate and Infomercials. Well, this became a great new option for us and after watching just a couple of episodes of Season 1, we were hooked!

So fast forward to my 31st birthday at the beginning of this month and Tiffany, that great friend I mentioned earlier, gifted me with the Season 2. It was all over after that! Aaron and I were useless for days. We had a million things to do and we found ourselves glued to this show! It was crazy! We blazed through Season 2 and went right on to Season 3...here is where that addiction part begins to come into play. After Season 3, you guessed it, we bought Season 4. Yes, we need help but my point to all of this is...if you haven't ever watched this show I HIGHLY recommend it. You can rent the full seasons at Blockbuster or Netflix. You can even buy them an episode at a time on Amazon, just to see if you like it. Start with the first season and go from there. I guarantee you'll be hooked and you can blame me for all the things you will neglect in your life during this process. The show is currently in it's 7th season, so it looks like we are in it for the long haul. It's a great ride though!

Easter Egg Hunt

Here are a few pictures from our great afternoon with our Sunday School class today at our Easter Egg Hunt! The kids had a great time and Tiffany and Leslie did an amazing job planning such a special event for our families. Hugs to you both! Lauren and Jake had such a great time and Gracie was fascinated with her very first egg hunt.

Moments like these are priceless...

Praise You In This Storm

I am going to be very brief today. I just wanted to post a video of a song by Casting Crowns that has been a blessing to me more times than I can count. It has been especially uplifting to me in recent days. I am going through some personal challenges right now and I covet your prayers. I know that we all have experienced valleys where we feel a little lost but one thing that God has really taught me over the years is to never cease to praise Him. He is always there, even if the rain clouds our view of Him, He will never leave us nor forsake us. That is a promise I hold very dear to my heart. My prayer today is that you will listen to this video and be blessed by it, just as I always am. I will write more another time, until then, much love to you all!
