Calling all readers....my curiosity is at an all time high.

All I'm sayin is...I know that 75% of the views I've gotten on this blog are from myself, but still...haha. Leave a comment sometime so I can check out YOUR blog(and so I can tell if my percentage needs to be adjusted, haha)!!!! :)

And I blogged today, so read below if u wanna!

The time has come...

It's been awhile, so here we are. It would be merely impossible for me to capture all that has come my way in the past month, but to sum it all up, God is good. I was able to visit one of my best friends in Chesapeake, VA where we left to go to a wedding, how fun! I also met her boyfriend who is super cool and loves the Lord! I got to spend some time with my family, I babysat my 5 and 10 year old boy cousins for the week-end and lost 10 pounds playing tag hide and seek over and over again, but who can pass that opportunity up? I'm no parent or anything, but I am convinced and believe strongly that spending time with your kids is the single most important thing in parenting(behind living the gospel of course!). Anyway...

Easter was great, we got together in Richmond at my Aunt's house and the entire family came! What a blessing. That's my favorite, when all 16+ of us spend the night in someone's house it is so fun. There is never ending great food and fellowship. I am always reminded of how gracious and good God is. We had a devotion that ended up being 2 hrs. long and the Lord broke a couple of walls down in my own heart as well (in front of the whole fam.)! It was a great reminder of what Christ did for me on the Cross at Calvary and what His resurrection means for me, life! Here is a great verse: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:21 Amen!

That's pretty much it, I have come back to this bubble and I am believing God is about to do some pretty cool things in my life! :) I'll keep you posted...

p.s. I think I want to move to Chesapeake, or VA beach. Just a thought.

Snowboarding!!!

This event deserved a blog of its own. Last night, Sarahbelle and I ventured out to Appalachian ski mountain where I officially deemed myself a snowboarder. It all started on the bunny slope, well actually there was not much of a slope at all, haha. It was more of a flat run and was way to short for me to figure out how to maneuver my snowboard. By the time I got it, I was at the bottom hoping I wasn't going to wipe anyone out! Then it was back on the long standing ski lift to the top, only to go back down in .8 seconds. I did this for about an hour, the last half barely falling at all.

I will take this moment to brag on myself. "They" say that snowboarding is one of those things where the first time is pretty much an all you can eat snow buffet and butt meets snow festivities. Many people give up and revert back to what they know(skiing,which I also love), understandably so. I did not and take much delight in proving "they" wrong. :)

So after the hour of me going down the bunny slope without an actual slope, I told Sarahbelle I wanted to go to the next one up with her...it was no fun being apart from her and would make for some good laughs either way(as she could easily blaze past me on her skis). I had learned enough to know what to do to "steer" my board(although I was far from perfecting it at accumulating speeds...scary) and I was sick of waiting forever for a few seconds of doing the same thing over. After I rebuked Sarahbelle questioning me a couple of times asking if I really wanted to and suggesting I go down 1 more time, we were off to the next slope. I thought it was the next slope but we actually bypassed the next slope and went straight to #3. Yea, I'm all that and a stack of pancakes. I had a blast, fell a couple of times but was sold and learned how to control what I did :). After a few falls and the scare of a possible broken wrist, my adrenalin was out of control and we continued, despite the pain and for the most part, fall free. What a blast I had...can't wait for next season.
