An Award and An Update

I'm in a pondering and processing frame of mind lately. We moved into this house one year ago Sunday (I think...sometime around today). I'm somewhat in shock because this year flew by. In Colorado we lived in our apartment for a year, and then the house for 11 months but those times seemed like they lasted longer. If I think about packing this house up and moving again I freak a little, like "I just moved in last month!" A year...and what a year it has been. And, as per normal...God is stirring the pot again. Things are happening that I can't share just yet, but I'm starting to realize that I am not leading a normal life. I knew life wasn't normal for me in YWAM but I thought when I left things would go somewhat everyday simple. Nope. Not me. But I'm okay with that...I never wanted ordinary. On the flip side that means that things won't be easy, and I have to remember that. Otherwise I get all upset and stressed out and forget that God is taking care of things.

So here are some pictures of the last month since I have been a slacker.

We got hit with two major snowstorms about a week apart. I think they said we got 32" of snow just in February. This is a drift from the first storm...then imagine another 14".


To escape the crazy, cold madness Matt and I left the girlies with Grammy and flew away to Florida to visit our friends Kevin and Amanda. It was a perfect, happy, fun-filled 5 days.





And now Spring is here and flowers are blooming. We have a beautiful weekend ahead and Easter to celebrate.



And all of that promise of warm weather means one thing...weekends at the beach!! I'm so ready to escape to the beach house and breathe that sigh of contentment that always comes with it!

And to top it all off my friend Brooke at Inkstains & Fingerprints nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger Award. Which I though somewhat funny since I'm such a blog slacker lately, but definitely appreciated. Thanks Brooke!


And now I'm supposed to tell you seven interesting facts about me...so here goes. I hope they are interesting!

1. I cry...a lot. And this is just new in the last year. I'm still trying to figure it out. But I cry...during worship, talking to my mom, during Bible Study, processing with my husband. All the time. I can't even wear mascara to church because I know I will probably cry. Figure that one out for me will you.
2. I'm a movie addict. Obsessed. Love them. I'm currently working my way through every film nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, all 475 of them.
3. I secretly would love nothing more than to be on Broadway. To play Eponine in Les Miserables would be a dream come true...maybe I should work on my singing.
4. I can NOT stand when people clap along with someone who is singing. Stop clapping people!!
5. Sometimes I just want a Big Mac. I know, I'm sorry.
6. I'm a dancing machine. Hear a beat, can't stand still. I've yet to cut loose here in PA though...need some of my pals to loosen up a bit first.
7. If given the choice I would probably go to the bush of Kenya or Sudan over Paris or London. Don't get me wrong I'm dying to go to Europe, but Africa holds my heart.

And I think that wraps it up for this post. I always have things stewing in my brain that I want to blog about, I just never sit down and type it out. I need to though. So if things get a little deep around here I apologize. But that's me..."take me baby, or leave me". (Prize to the first person to name it!)
