blah
Tonight I had all intentions to blog about vacation and post some pictures, however, I am beat. This week has been packed full of a doctor apt(I now am wearing a holter monitor for a month- fun fun), track practices, small group, grades being due, basketball awards banquet, Nathan leaving early this morning and laundry. I am pooped. Thank goodness tomorrow I can come home after Track and relax(aka, put Easter stuff together, finish laundry, clean the house, get some MUCH needed exercise in, and cook dinner) I am sooo looking forward to it and Friday we don't have school so that is even more exciting. YIPPPEEE!

dear vacation
Dear Vacation-
Oh how I miss you. I miss your sunshine, I miss your 'spend every waking(and sleeping) moment with my husband', I miss your delicious dinners, I miss your ocean breeze, I miss your salty waters, I miss your 'brown eyed girl song' that you played 500 times, I miss your towel art before heading to bed, I miss your sand under my toes, I miss the laughter you allowed us to have so many times, I miss your cell-phone free week, and I miss hearing the water hit the side of your boat and we cruised the open sea.
Vacation, you were wonderful- thank you. I miss you already!

packing
Tonight was a night for packing for our trip(yipppeeee)...at least that was what was supposed to happen. But...nope that didn't get done! Instead, Mandy, Morgan and Marek made a visit up to see us(and some pictures too). It was so much fun having them here. We played outside, enjoyed the beautiful weather, ate some food, played some more and loved every second of having them here. Thanks so much for coming up guys!
Once they left, we decided we better get packing...at least that what was supposed to happen. But...nope no packing for us, we laid around and watched march madness! It was a much need relaxing time for Nathan after working so hard this week. I guess you can see what takes priority at our house...basketball for sure! Just so everyone knows- Nathan and I are tied so far @ 80%....but that wont be for long, I am feeling pretty good about my bracket!
So when are we going to pack??? not sure. not worried. The plan was to head out of here at 3:10 tomorrow. opps. Guess we will either leave a little later OR just go without packing and buy all new fun stuff on the trip. haha. stay tuned to see the outcome of this decision. :)

songs
This morning was another EARLY one- Nathan was up and out of the house by 4:30, the plan was for me to get another hr. of sleep and get up and do a little cleaning. Well, the 'sleep' wasn't happen' so I got up and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, then got ready for school. I was dragging a little as I jumped in the car but that didn't last long, as I turned on the radio I heard one of my all time favorite songs.. Livin' on a Prayer!!! This was all I needed to get the blood flowing and the vocal cords going. So with the windows down and sunroof open, I called Nathan and as soon as he answered I started signing...REALLY LOUD(I am sure he was lovin' it). I just kept sayin' Oh Oh we are half way there!!' The week is half-way over and its almost time for vacation. This song, paired with the BEAUTIFUL spring weather that God gave us was what I needed to get through the day- it was hump day but we are 'half way there!'
The kiddies were very excited it was St. Patricks day and it was so cute seeing all of them dressed in their green, hoping they would be able to pinch me- not so fast my fine friend- this is an Irish girl you are talkin to. I was sporting my green just as much as everyone else! After a crazy day at school, I headed to the mall to pick up a new dress for the trip that I had had my eye on, however, left empty handed because they didn't have my size. bummer.
On my drive home I did alot of talking to God and my Dad. I was thanking God for the beautiful day he had given us and for the many many blessing he has put into our lives, I was also asking him a few questions of Why? Why did you have to take my dad so soon? Why did you need him? Why are sunny days so hard? Just like the Kenny Chensy song says, ' Sunny days seem to hurt the most,' its so true. They are so wonderful and beautiful but man are they hard. They remind me of that terrible day, they remind me of the funeral, they remind me of the pain that I have in my heart. I was talking to my Dad- telling him how much I miss him, how much I wish he was here to meet my wonderful husband, how much I wish he could see how much of a man Gavin is, how much I miss him for mom. Man, I miss him. I can't be mad at God- as much as I want to I have to have faith to know that there is a reason he needed my dad and as much as I miss him, he is an amazing place that we all stive to be in somday. I am confident in that, which makes these sunny days ok.
So from one song and set of emotions to another song with a whole different set of emotions- I am going to strive to be faithful, knowing that God has a plan for each for each of us just as he reminded us in Hebrews 11.1
It might not be the plan I have in mind(which is really really REALLY hard sometimes) but it is the plan he has set designed just for me and that is pretty cool to know.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

weekend fun
This weekend was just what the dr. ordered! Full of family time, Morgans birthday, and AWESOME AWESOME church message, and some r&r today.
On Saturday I got the privilege to take pictures of Morgan's birthday party- it was so much fun. I loved every second of it. After 2 hrs of shooting, and about 400 pictures, I was beat but I loved EVERY SECOND of and could really get used to doing that full time!! :)
I posted more over on the 721 blog!
After church today we enjoyed hanging out at home- Nathan cleaned the garage, I worked on pictures and then we grilled out and watched Selection Sunday! Let the March Madness begin!! YIPPPEEE :) I am looking forward to a full week of 'bracktology', packing for our trip, small group, track tri-outs for me- nothing too crazy though- Nathan on the other hand- 3 inventories(4 am'ers), a re-set(don't ask, I dont know), a DM meeting AND 6 audits! That is enough to make anyone go crazy- good thing a vacation is right around the corner. :)
o that note- its off to get some shut eye. night y'all!
