Yay for May!

Hello Friend,

It's been a while. How is May treating you so far?

Don't get mad, but this is where I was from Wednesday through Sunday and it was fabulous! The weather was perfect and it was a much needed change of pace since the storm.

Mr. Dave had to stay here in Tusky to take care of things at the store, so that left Tom to do his buying. I have to say I was so very impressed with how he handled it! You should've seen him buying things left and right, getting deals on almost everything! That's my He Man!

We finished all the business-y stuff on Thursday so we had the rest of the week to enjoy the beach. Poor Tom was completely lobstered, but I ended up with a nice tan. That's what sunscreen will do for you! Use protection, folks!

Anyway we had a BLAST playing on the beach and eating entirely too much! Because we ate too much, I'm having to watch what I eat for while! So so sad to when we had to leave Sunday, but there are two more trips to look forward to now: bridesmaids trip in 42 days and the honeymoon in 60!

An Extra Good Good Friday

Easter is upon us and I love Easter!

Who wouldn't love Easter? You get to buy a pretty new dress, stuff yourself with great food, spend time with family, dye/hunt eggs, and it marks the day Jesus rose from the dead to save all of us!

To me, that's what makes Him different from all the other gods people worship; He rose, but Budda is still sittin' snug in his grave.

Anyway, my most favorite Easter tradition is, of course, the eggs! You're never too old for a good egg hunt! Since I'm babysitting tonight, I got to dye eggs with kids, which makes it extra magical. Sooo much fun!

Lucy is too little for eggs and Emory was exhausted from playing at PawPaw's house all day, so Rylee and I had the eggs all to ourselves! We tie-dyed most of them, but made a few traditional ones too. 

I also got some AH-mazing news today! But I'm not allowed to tell what it is yet! I'll just say that I am so incredibly blessed. More than I would have every imagined I could be. God can make a way even when we don't see one.

Trying New Things

"Its good to try new things!"

How many times did we hear that growing up? About a million. Is it just me, or did it seem like that phrase came up most during things you really did not want to do? Like jumping off the high-dive? Or eating veggies?
As it turns out, parents are pretty smart about things and trying something new every once and a while can be a really good thing. We now know that jumping from high places will give a an adreinaline rush, and veggies keep your waist line trim.

Here are a few new good things I've been trying lately:


Zumba!!!! So much fun! And, oh my gracious, what a great workout!

I took my first class at World Gym on Tuesday and I am still sore!

I know I'm totally late on this, but I've started watching Scrubs via Netflix. Hilarious!

Found out baking soda can be used for all sorts of things! It can be used as an facial exfoliant and making your teeth super squeeky clean and sprakly!

So far I'm having really good luck with all my new (to me) stuff!

Currently looking forward to trying Spinning classes, Power Yoga and Eastery crafts!

Have you tried anything new lately?
