Reunion!

Yesterday I took a day trip to Orlando, and it was gas money well spent! I got to see 3 of my favorite people in the whole world and spend the afternoon just hanging out. Jen, Susan and Tricia all played major roles in my life during college. These days it is very rare to see all 3 of them at once. Especially now that we all live in different cities.

So, to say the least, I was VERY happy to see them!

Weekend Recap

Last Friday afternoon brought the annual visit of Stephanie! Every Memorial Day weekend since 2003 Stephanie has come to St. Augustine for the holiday, and we always have a blast! This year was no exception!

We cooked Chicken-Fajita Tostadas, Chewy Oatmeal Blondies, and Strawberry Scones. We spent Saturday by laying out by the pool, shopping, playing scrabble and watching 27 Dresses and Juno. Then on Sunday we spent way too many hours at Anastasia State Park, but it was fun!

We also did some more shopping! The highlight of the weekend activities was dinner with my mom at the oh so fancy 95 Cordova in the Casa Monica Hotel. We clean up well, don't we?!


Also, I have some parking skills....look how close I got without touching!


One last thing, did you know that using liquid Milk of Magnesia on your face a few times a week will give you awesome skin? I sure enough didn't know that! Stephanie insisted it's true, AND that it keeps your skin from getting oily during the day. So, I had to try it......she was telling the truth! The only warning is to not use it too often because it can dry our your skin. There's your skin tip of the month!

Hope you had an awesome Memorial day too!

Memorial Day Weekend!

It seems that Memorial Day weekend has turned into remembering how precious my friendship with Stephanie is to me!  Every Memorial Day weekend for the past 4 years, Stephanie has come to visit me, and we always have tons of fun...as seen here!

Pictures and posts to come as the action happens! :o)

The Bad Men...

My nephew, Alexander is 4 years old and in January he started attending the pre-school at my church. On Friday morning, my mom drove Alex to school and had a very surprising conversation. Nana - "Alexander, do you know that your Nana loves you very very much?" Alex - "Yes, and God loves me too, but the bad men put him on the cross and put nails in his hands!" Nana - "Yes they did, and He died so we can live." Alex - "Yes, He did." For my nephew, a Christian education has proved to be priceless. He is learning, at the age of 4, what unfortunately, most people wont learn until much later in life. Praise God for hearing and answering my and my mom's prayers!
