I saw this video on Semper Wifey's blog and thought I'd share it. I'd say it speaks for itself...

Random Ramblings
It's been exactly a week since I posted last. I'm a slacker - I know. Let's see what kind of random things have been going on...
_________________________________________________
This past weekend was Easter weekend. It was also my friend, Christina's, bridal shower. Josh and I headed up to my parents' house for the weekend. On Friday night I hung out with Christina and most of the bridesmaids for her wedding. (Did I mention that I am one of her bridesmaids? If I didn't, I am mentioning it now.) We went shopping together and just had fun. On Saturday was her shower. The shower was a lot of fun! We played the normal shower games, saw lots of people, and of course she opened her gifts. She got pretty much everything that they need for their apartment, which was definitely nice. After the shower I helped them take some of the gifts over to their apartment. They have a really cute place! Then we hung out for a little. It was a lot of fun!
Sunday was Easter. We woke up early and went to the sunrise service at my parents' church. It was a blessing. After the sunrise service, we had breakfast at church. Then we had the normal service. My entire family was there, which was nice. It was a great service too! On Sunday afternoon we went over my sister's house and hung out. Then we went to my aunt and uncle's house for Easter dinner. It was good to see my extended family again and to hang out with everyone. It was a great Easter and a great weekend!

In other news, Josh's grandpa got out of the hospital last Friday. That is definitely a blessing. He is now at a nursing home for rehabilitation. They're hoping to get his strength back and get him back on his feet. It's definitely an answer to prayer though that he is out of the hospital!

Oh, something that I'm excited about... in less than two weeks my college roommate, Emily, and I are taking a road trip. The road trip actually just came together. Emily's coming down to PA from VT to visit from April 17th-24th. When she gets here, she's going to spend a couple of days here in PA. Then comes the roadtrip (which I am calling One Insane Roadtrip, or OIR for short). On Tuesday, April 20th, we're leaving bright and early in the morning and heading down to Camp Lejeune, NC where her boyfriend is stationed. We're going to spend the night there and visit him. Then on Wednesday, the 21st, we're going to leave NC and head up to Virginia Beach to stop and visit our friends from college. Then, on the 22nd, we're heading back up to PA. Have you figured out why it's going to be an insane roadtrip? We'll be traveling three days straight, but I'm really looking forward to it! It's going to be a great and random time!

Well, I guess that's enough random ramblings for today. Hopefully I'll write again on here sooner. Take care and enjoy the beautiful weather!

24 Years Ago
24 years ago a "little" 10 pound, 10 ounce baby girl was brought into the world.
Her parents named her Jennifer Lynn.
Her momma loved her from first sight - her 3rd child, her 3rd gift from God.
From the minute her daddy held her, she became "daddy's little baby girl".
They loved her so. She grew up fast too!
Alot has changed in those 24 years. She went to kindergarten, made it through high school, went to college, and even graduated college. She had many skinned knees that got kissed better, many spankings for being bad and rewards for being good, many hugs to tell her she was loved, and many words of affirmation spoken to her. She met many people, had many friends. She met her true love. Her daddy gave her away. She moved away and started life with her prince charming. She grew up....way too fast.
Though many things have changed, there are some things that haven't.Her momma still loves her, and has her as one of her best friends.
And she's still her daddy's baby girl and will always be!
And on her 24th birthday that "little girl" wants to say something. She wants to say thank you to her parents for bringing her into this world and for loving her so much and bringing her up in a Godly home. She wants to say thanks to them for always putting up with her and showing her unconditional love. She wants to thank them for being wonderful people and tell them how much she loves them! She wants to tell them that they're her heroes - and they mean the world to her! Mom and Dad.... I love you and just wanted to say THANK YOU for everything!
Love,
Your Little Girl - Your Jennifer Lynn

Randomness
I haven't posted in a few days so I figured I'd post something today. However my mind is scattered about so this post will be a lot of randomness. Oh well, it'll be fun...
______________________________________________
This month has definitely flown by. Has it went so quickly for anyone else? It seems like it was just the beginning and now we only have a week and a half left in it. Of course the last week of it is the best part of the month to me anyways, not sure why that would be. It's not like there's a special day in there somewhere or anything.
______________________________________________
Josh and I went to a new church yesterday. It kind of happened "by chance", as I woke up late and we didn't have time to make it to our normal church service. So we headed up the road to a different one. The church was having their missions' conference and I was definitely blessed by and encouraged by it. The speaker challenged us to "take the next step" even when the next step is the hardest to take. It left me thinking about what the next step is for me.
I really liked the church that we went to though. It's relatively small, less than 100 people and definitely traditional. However, the people were super friendly and the service was definitely a blessing. It was nice to have the "close knit" feeling in church. It kind of reminded me of the church I grew up in. That's probably why I felt so at home. We just might have to make another visit, or two, or twenty to it.
______________________________________________
There's a lot of different needs that I have been praying for recently. If you would like, you can pray for them as well. First, as I had posted before, I've been praying for the situation in Morocco. I'm praying for the deported workers and the children left behind, as well as for the rest of the Christian workers in the country. It's definitely weighing heavy on my heart and I think and pray for them often.
Second, I've been praying for Josh's grandpa. He's been really sick with one thing after the other since the beginning of February. It's been a rough road for him, but he's still fighting and holding on to God's promises. He's 82 years old and such a great testimony of God to everyone around him. We're just praying for his health and strength though and for the doctors to have wisdom in how to treat him.
Third, I'm praying for my cousin. She's also been in the hospital for over a month. She's had a lot of complications and the doctors are doing everything they can to treat her. So we're just praying for her and for the doctors continued wisdom in treating her and for her family.
Those are the three requests that have been on my mind the most. I've also been praying for our country (with this crazy healthcare bill) and our leaders to have wisdom, our pastors and spiritual leaders (to continue to stay strong in the Lord and be able to lead us as Christians), and for our churches (to continue to have the boldness to stand up for what is true), as well as many other requests. If you have anything I can pray for, just leave it in the comments section and I'll be sure to pray about it!
______________________________________________
We've still been trying to exercise and lose some weight. It's definitely been a rough road though as far as sticking to it. I have lost 6.5 pounds since I started, though that doesn't seem like much to me and I feel like I can hardly notice. I'm trying my best to cook healthy meals though and stick to eating right. Anyone have any tips on how to stick to it? Any good recipes or exercise plans?
______________________________________________
Well I guess that's enough randomness for today. I've got lots to do around the house and am not feeling quite up to par. However the housework is calling me. I'll post more later.

It's That Season Again...
It's that season again - italian ice season that is. Last night Josh and I went for a walk together and stopped at Rita's to enjoy our first italian ice for the season. Yum, that stuff is as good as ever! I had a Swedish Fish Gelati and Josh had a Cotton Candy Gelati - good stuff! I'm definitely happy Rita's is open again and we can enjoy their delicious italian ice for the next few months!
