VACATION

I've been going to Vacationland these past couple of weeks, reliving our vacation this summer so I can forget about the stress of starting school, job hunting, paperwork for job hunting, photoshoot, etc.

So I thought I'd take you with me and share just a few pics of our first couple of days in Texas (that was our first stop). We went there to spend some time with Carlito's family. It was great (except for the extreme heat and humidity, lol!).

This is a photo of some of the family we visited. We were at a pool. I took the picture before everyone started wilting from the heat :)
This is Ashley and her two favorite cousins. They're always together.
This is a great example of the huge spread of food they have when they get together. It just cracks me up every time. I LOVE it!!
And check it out ... they took us to a mall with an ICE SKATING RINK inside it!! Is that too cool or what??!! Perfect in the summer :) (excuse the glare; there were a ton of people, and this was the best vantage point I could get)
This is a picture I took as we were on our way to the mall. It was just before sunset ... a PERFECT time for taking pictures, and I couldn't resist--even though we were going 65 miles per hour on the highway.

Feb Year In Review Layouts

Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...
Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
