I solemnly swear I am up to no good.











I really really want to see this Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago this summer!


Who's with me?

April Happenings

If I haven't confessed this lately, allow me to now...my issue with blogging is that I feel like I have to have something funny or entertaining to write about or in the very least pictures to show in order to make my blog reader-worthy. I truly do enjoy reading about other people's new couches, cats, kid's latest tricks but I just feel silly writing about everyday events. I'm trying to get better. So here's a photo blog of sorts of the last few weeks.

Easter.
I got to go to Austin for the Thursday before Easter to spend the night with the HELKs--my last group of college roommates. Somehow I don't have any pictures from that event. Someone else did...need to get them... Erin (the E in HELK) came back to Midland with me to see her family & were gracious to invite me to spend a couple of Easter meals with them! Such a fun family! Saturday night my friend Sarah had an Easter egg hunt to which I contributed several dozen confetti eggs. Here's how we looked after the "hunt" (read: "battle").



Teen CBS.
TCBS ended mid-April with a big circle "camp fire" time of music & sharing. I was blessed to hear how the kids had grown that year & how their walks with the Lord had been strengthened through the study of His word. They made me a cool book filled with random pictures of Midland friends and a note from each of the leaders and kids. It'll definitely be a treasure when I'm missing my Midland friends next year! Here's our group of leaders eating yogurt together after our last Bible study.


And here's my friends Sarah & Dawn at the same event.


Let's see...this weekend...my sister is getting married in May & we gave her a bridal shower this weekend. We had dinner at this awesome place in Houston--Berry Hill Baja Grill--awesome fajitas!


Sunday some dear friends who met while serving together with Worldview got married. It was so fun to get to see some other dear friends at the wedding! Corrie (left) served a couple summers as a small group leader & Rachel (right) & I got to serve as female staff directors together...a summer like none other! :)


Need I say more?


And with the bride, Janise Medina Cookston. :)

And that brings us up to just a few days ago. :) Happy Friday eve to all!

This is my current favorite video.

I LOVE Southwest Airlines. I love that there's incentive to check in online & get your boarding pass. I love that if you do check in early enough you can choose virtually any seat you want! I love that they don't charge you to check baggage. I love their Rapid Reward program (it's so easy to earn free flights!)! I love that they don't charge for in flight beverages or snacks. I love the seats, the flight attendants, the prices and even the magazine in the seat pocket.

I knew I loves SW but didn't realize how much I loved it until I had to go to Atlanta last month and was forced to fly a couple of other airlines. The people of Southwest Airlines are generally lovely too! This video is proof of that! Enjoy! And fly Southwest!
