1) I finally got a real, live legit picture taken with a real camera from Melissa of me, Mrs. Francine and Jen and I love it. I'm not holding the wrong book and we're just happy! I still think about how fun it was to meet her. I just stared at her all morning thinking she wrote Redeeming Love. That woman wrote it. It's brilliant. As are the rest of her books and as is she.

2) This past Thursday me and my roommates went to a Girls' Night Out hosted by our dear Christian radio station, KSBJ. They brought in Anita Renfroe, known famously for her mom song, Momisms, and Mandisa, known formerly as a contestant on American Idol. I'd never seen either of these ladies live and they did not disappoint. Anita was knee slapping hilarious and y'all, Mandisa is nothing but amazing. She makes singing look effortless! Even though Anita's humor is mainly geared towards moms and "older" ladies, we had such a fun time and laughed so hard all night long. Since I'm singing on our Easter praise team next Sunday, I joked the next day that I would be channeling my inner Mandisa for Easter. Joked is the key word there. I don't even compare to homegirl. Needless to say, if either of these women are anywhere near you, go see them!
Me and Claire wasting time during intermission.
Mandy, Claire & myself. Mandy's mom came too, but somehow we managed to never get her in a picture!
3) People don't move to Houston for the weather. However, there is about a four week window when we get the most beautiful weather ever! Granted, that's when the allergies are at their highest, but it's worth it. For about four weeks during the Spring and Fall, we know that Jesus loves us. We are in the middle of those four weeks and it's gorgeous! I cannot spend enough time outside! I looked at the forecast today for the rest of the week, and according to weather.com we're in for a treat this week. I'm so thankful!
4) Because of said beautiful weather, we took full advantage of it Friday night and me and my dad, along with my BFF and her parents went and ate outside at Goode Company BBQ! (My mom was in San Antonio accompanying a choir contest.) It was such a fun night. They have a live band there which makes it a tad loud, but what's more fun then yelling at each other over dinner? I love sitting outside!
5) I spent all day Saturday, unfortunately, inside. My last Sunday of teaching at our High School service was this past Sunday and there was just so much information that I spent most of Saturday compiling it all. I have to say that teaching these past three weeks, and not just girls but our entire group, was so challenging. Challenging but great! As much as I love teaching, I get super anxious. It's something that requires me to depend completely on HIM to speak through me and that's how it should be. I'm thankful for the challenge, but also thankful it's over for the time being. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me. The Lord is faithful and good! I felt your prayers!
6) They say everything is bigger in Texas and Sunday my mom proved that. There is a new Mexican restaurant, Ruby Tequila's, that we've enjoyed lately and we went there for lunch on Sunday. Our favorite part of the restaurant is their table side guacamole that is to die for! They make it in front of you all while your mouth is watering. If you go there, you have to try it. Anywho, my mom order a taco salad. When they brought it out we were in awe of the size of it. Not only was it huge, but they prepared it to look like a ginormous taco. It was hilarious! She ate about a third of it and took the rest home. Truly, everything is bigger in Texas.
It was as big as her head!
7) I've decided to wear my white pants on Easter. To be honest, they're probably one of my favorite pairs of clothing and quite frankly, they've been in hiding too long. And honestly, they're more comfortable to wear on stage while singing on praise team. So, instead of getting a new dress for Easter, I figured I would get a cute top to go with my pants. Not hard, right? Well, unfortunately, it's harder than I thought. I went to our outlet mall today and came home empty handed. I've not given up hope and it's truly not a huge deal to me. It's just fun to have something new. It looks like I'll now be shopping with the rest of the peeps on Friday or Saturday. If I find nothing, I'll just go shopping in my closet. My wallet would love that.
8) I'm going to keep my Q&A post up until Friday so ask away! It's been fun reading some of your questions already and thinking up an answer in my head. Thanks for playing along!
9) I just went to Step Aerobics, and now I'm feeling the need for my Dryer's French Silk Ice Cream. I'm normally not a Dryer's girl, but this ice cream is delicious! I think I'll go serve myself a scoop.
10) I just couldn't end the ramblings on an odd number! I'm out!
