Lent

These incredible munchkins.
Oh how I love them so.

The 4 spent last night with me.
Half of them were in bed with Mark and me.
Sweetest moments of my life are waking up in the middle of the night with a foot on my chest or blond hair in my face.
Priceless.

I have mentioned our church on here before. 
It's called Eleven 22.

We really enjoy our church.

The church encourages Lent.
Growing up Baptist, 
we didn't partake or even know what Lent was.

Basically, it is recognizing the sacrifice that Christ took upon Himself when He died on the cross.
Taking that knowledge and choosing something 
to sacrifice from our own lives. 
It is encouraged to begin on Ash Wednesday through Easter.

I like the idea of taking off something and using that time as a reminder to focus on Jesus.
Some people stop consuming chocolate or candy, some choose to take a TV time-out or even just a certain show they love.

It's tough for me to come up with 
something that would be a real sacrifice. 

My main vice would have to be Diet Coke,

especially when it comes from McDonalds.

The fact that I can actually write about a Diet Coke from McDonalds shows me that I am in fact, an addict.
Ha!

Well, now you know how you can pray for me.

Tonight we have a special prayer service leading into 
Ash Wednesday.
I love the importance they put on it.

Hope you are having a wonderful week.
I love you all!!






It's A New Day

How are you?
I know it's been forever since I reassured my existence to my blog.
Sometimes I think I have nothing that anyone really wants to hear.

I have been busy traveling with Mark.
I have been a little consumed with FOX since the inauguration of President Trump.
I get a kick out of his tenacity.
He makes me laugh.
I love the First Lady, Melania Trump.

I love his daughter, Ivanka too.
I stayed up late and watched the different balls. The dress Ivanka wore was my favorite.
Her hair was perfect. She couldn't have been more beautiful.

I'm not a political person but it has been most enjoyable.
President Trump obviously loves our country
 and I like the moves and decisions he is making.

I refused to watch the Academy Awards last night. 
Its the first time in forever that I skipped it.
Mark and I played cards and I don't feel that I missed a thing. 
Yada Yada

Enough with politics!

Has this been the most fabulous winter ever!!?
We haven't used heat or air all winter.
How about that pollen?
Is it kickin anybody elses butt?
Nothing a bottle of NyQuil can't handle.
OK, maybe two bottles but I'm feeling better everyday. 


I'm flying to San Antonio this week to celebrate my baby girls 
BIG 30!
How can that be? 

Hope everything is wonderful in your world!
Peace out!

It's the NyQuil talking.
