We spent the day looking after John's dad and decided to go out to dinner and have a few drinks afterwards. We had a great time. I love this picture of John!

Reading my kindle and kind of accidentally snapped this shot. I like it.

My Pinterest Addiction

Have you all started using Pinterest yet?  Pinterest has apparently  been around for ages (OK 2 years), but I only heard of it a few months ago (OK Maybe 6). 

If you have no idea what I’m talking about it’s a website where you create pin boards.  You know, like cork boards of the olden days.  YOU know that you used to cut comics out of the paper and put them up in your office.  It’s like that, but the WEB is your source.  There is SO MUCH stuff out there.

If you are on Pinterest, you already know what’s up.  If you’re not, you are missing out.  Hit me up and I’ll send you an invite.

What is your favorite verse?
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey

Party like it's 1999

Tonight is my bachelorette party!

My sisters have planned a lovely evening, accompanied by some of my favorite people, spent in Orlando, in an amazing hotel that has access to a world class restaurant and lots of lovely beverage establishments, without the need for a car.

This will be a girls night out, and something I haven't done before.

I'm very excited!
