Random Thoughts
1. I love big earrings, purses and shoes.
2. I love to cook, and sometimes my experiments are awful but we eat it anyway!
3. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand
than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
4. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear
your computer history if you die.
5. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.
6. Bad decisions make good stories.
7. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go
around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly
nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be
a problem....
8. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work
when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything
productive for the rest of the day.
9. I am complicated. I like to be right - always.
10. I make mistakes.

All Kinds of Gates
This is taken from Katherine Kehler, Christian Women Today Devotional
"Lift up the gates so the King of glory can come in." (Psalm 24:7)
Gates. We live in a world of gates. Gates to keep people out. Gates to keep people in. Gates to enter the driveway, gates into and out of parking lots. Gates to keep animals in, gates to keep them away.
And then there are gates to our hearts. We allow people and God into some of the rooms of our heart - but usually not all of them. There are some thoughts we don't want anyone to know, there are hurts we don't expose to anyone.
There is a verse in Psalm 24 that says in essence, "lift up the gates, so the King of Glory can come in. The Lord strong and mighty. . .The Lord Almighty."
When you stop and think about it, we are foolish when we don't completely lift the gates of our heart to God. The Lord Almighty wants to invade our whole life so He can be our Savior, friend and protector. Have you ever opened the door of your life WIDE open to Jesus Christ?

Spring Break Fun
Colorado Springs is a special place for my daughter and I, we love to visit our old neighbors which are really our best friends! No hotel reservation is needed!! My son has been to the Springs only one other time but too young to remember everyone, he won't have that problem anymore--he talks often of Melodie, Duane, M and C. He tells everyone who will stop and listen about our trip and all the fun things we were able to do while there. The grown ups enjoy sitting on the sofa visiting for hours while the young girls would rather shop till they drop!!
We fell in love with the BOBA tea, we tried the "usual" from our experienced friends-almond chai tea! Those big black bubbles (they are tapioca) took a while to get used to the first time we started chewing, but are a super fun treat now. The younger kids enjoyed a chocolate milk!
M and M enjoyed a morning and afternoon walk up to a scenic overlook near the house. There are some great pictures on the camera, will try to download them later!
Mr. Biggs was fun for everyone in attendance. M and C enjoyed Little Big Town where they did tons of pretend play, rode the carousel, did some jumping on the inflatables, as well as tons of free play. The sandbox area was also a hit. The older girls enjoyed playing miniature golf, riding the go-carts, and jumping.
It's always so sad to leave and we our planning our next trip in June. No more two year gaps in between trips!
