FINALLY!

The sun is out after 5 days of rain.
I thought I was going to lose my mind!
I'm taking the twins out for a looong walk this afternoon :)

I know, I know...

I said now that we have internet I'd be better about posting, but it just seems that I can't usually find the time for it, or when I do I don't have anything good to blog about. Oh well, I guess you'll just have to be ok with my sporadic blogging attempts for now :)

Is this year already flying by or what? It is March and warmer weather is coming soon! It has already made an appearance on several occassions which is such a tease and makes the cold days that follow even more miserable. Today has been cold and rainy, but it is fun to see my daffodils and tulips poking out of the ground...a little promise of Spring.

January and February weren't too eventful for us other than hitting some of our financial goals, buying a car and me turning 23. We also celebrated my Mom and Rebekah's birthdays in January. I have really enjoyed this season with my family. I don't know how long we'll all live so close together and have the opportunity to share life together so intimately. I cherish the times we all get to hang out together. What a blessing family is!

My car is in the shop today due to some coils in the engine that gave out and need to be replaced. It wouldn't have been a big deal except that I was planning to go up to Richmond this afternoon to hang out with Bekah H. and Nicki H. So I was kinda bummed that it spoiled my plans for the weekend. Good opportunity to give it to the Lord, though! By his grace I feel like I responded well when it happened and have been able to trust him with the details of getting it fixed, cost, etc. I've been working on trusting Him even with the little things knowing that he is intimately involved with every part of my day.

I have been making salads every night for dinner this week and it's been so good for us! Steve agreed to do it with me and we've been pleasantly surprised at how much we've enjoyed them. I did one that had a southwestern flare (lettuce, corn, tomato, chicken, peppers, avocado, onions) a greek/garden salad with chicken, and a sweet fruity salad (lettuce, onions, strawberries, apples, craisins, almond slivers). I think I'm going to keep going with it this next week! That and making a point of drinking more water...I'm bad about that. But we are about to go ruin our good track record by eating some good ol' Chick-fil-a!! YUMM. We have Leader's Care Group tonight, so I'm gonna go get myself ready. Thanks for reading my random update! Hopefully more later.
