Life in Pictures and a Brief Pause

I'm here for a quick minute. Just an update...youth group was great. I felt really at ease talking to the teens. I hope that some seeds were planted.

I'm going to be out for a bit....reminding you all to keep me in your prayers on Wednesday...surgery time. I will be back when I am feeling up to being online. In the meantime, here's a glimpse of my life in pictures lately.







 Talk to you all soon!

You know without a doubt you'll be in my thoughts and prayers pre-surgery, surgery, and post-surgery. It's my prayer this operation will give you a whole new lease on life, my friend.

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful.

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant.

Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
