So, how do you return to blogging after an almost two month hiatus? You do an iPhone dump. Last year those specific entries became my "go to" when I was out of ideas, but quickly became some of my favorites, so why not start with something I love?
Truth be told, when I logged onto Blogger tonight, I gasped! Everything is different. Apparently Blogger had a make-over during my absence and I'm now having to pay for that as I re-learn how to upload a photo and type a sentence. It's exhausting, y'all!
Last week I got an email from my dad titled "15 Tips on Blogging from John Newton" and I laughed because if that's not a small hint to post something, I don't know what is. I can guarantee you John Newton didn't add "take seven weeks off!" to his list, so don't take any advice on blogging from me. Dad has been keeping me up to date on how long it's been since I last posted and even has threatened to do a guest blog. So here goes nothing. Thank you, Dad!
Mirrors are so 2011. Who needs them when we have face time?

Can I get an amen?
I just ran across this the other night. Made me laugh so hard! My head has gone missing. My friend Sara took this picture at Passion and I'm still not sure what happened.
Freshly hatched baby chicks at the rodeo. They're sleepy. Can you imagine busting out of an egg all by yourself? Precious.
This year at the Houston Rodeo I got to see Lady Antebellum and Train. I love the rodeo so much!
My sweet friend Jen is weeks away from having a baby! This was at one of her showers. I cannot wait!
I bought this card for my BFF who lives in Alabama. Perfection. I miss her face.
You never know what could take place on our balcony. On this particular day Bethany gave Ben a haircut. I was concerned for his safety, but all ended well.
On the way to our half-marathon in Dallas the first gas station we stopped at was selling hard-boiled eggs. Um, are you as disturbed as me? Shouldn't they at least be refrigerated?
One of my favorite pictures from the half-marathon. I can't take credit for the actual picture itself, but I did do some Instagram work to it. Have I mentioned my obsession with Instagram before? It's not new.
In case you've been wondering since March 19th if I finished the race, that would be a YES! This picture shows my pure glee of being DONE!
Indeed. This was the background on my phone for some time.
Christy Nockels came to Houston for a Brown Bag concert that KSBJ put on. She is wonderful. And gifted.
My boss asked me to measure a few things one day and send her the measurements. I later sent her this text. Have I ever mentioned that I am a visual learner?
A few weeks ago the roomies and I had a night out. All was going so well until I lost my cupcake. Tragedy.
Back in April I had the sweet privilege of speaking at the Aggie Sisters for Christ retreat in College Station. I seriously loved them so much. I took this right as we got started with worship Friday night.
After getting home one night, I quickly realized I was locked out until my roommate came to the rescue. No way was I going to put my key or hand close to him. He was just chillin'.
The other night my roommate and I did Shred (Jillian Michaels workout DVD) together and since we only have one set of weights, she improvised. Ragu and vegetable oil. She told me she was sore the next day! Ha!
Sometimes at the ministry we have to use hair tools to fix things. This particular day it was the smoke alarm. I know, it makes no sense, but you have to trust me on this one!
Houston had about two weeks of incredible weather. I took that opportunity and created my office space outside. So refreshing!
It's unfortunate when a husband and wife own a restaurant and go out of town leaving the place abandon. Especially when you meet your best friend for lunch there and have to relocate. But it's also hilarious!
This much Vera Bradley can only mean one thing: Girls road trip! : )
I spent a weekend at this lake for my dear friend, Raven's, bachelorette party. It was heavenly.
Raven, the bride. Is it that obvious?! In less than two weeks she'll be Mrs. Jones! Woo hoo!
We celebrated at Joe T Garcia's in Fort Worth that weekend and this was the line we waited in to get in. Absolutely insane!
The lake. On Instagram. I'm obsessed.
We had a few storms come through Houston, so much so, it took down this tree right outside my apartment. Wild!
About two weeks ago we had baptisms at BCF and baptized over 25 people. Y'all, it might have been my favorite Sunday morning ever. Such a sweet day. I love my church so much.
I got to travel with this sweet lady (and also my boss!) to Dallas for the first time to the PINK Impact conference at Gateway Church. It was such a privilege and honor to do so. We had the best time!
Worship with Kari Jobe to start out PINK weekend. So incredible.
I'll never forget the opening of the conference, especially these dancers. They were truly worshipping, y'all, and had THE biggest smiles I've ever seen. So neat. So powerful.
I'm not sure how this appears to you, but upon first glance, I thought it was a bear jumping on a trampoline. I laughed so hard I cried. And then I read it was a bear getting tranquilized out of a tree in Boulder, Colorado. Sweet mercy.
My best friend for life is about to give birth to her firstborn. I had the great honor of getting to throw her a shower with her sisters. I already love this baby so much!
Baby Love banner. Pinterest inspired.
I also may or may not have purchased this for Baby Girl Isaminger. Y'all, my wallet is feeling the pain of these babies and weddings coming up. But I would have it no other way!
My mother is emoticon queen. Every now and then I like to share a good one with my peeps. They make her so happy. And honestly, this one is MILD!
My compassion boy, Jhon, gets more and more of my heart every time I get a letter from him. This particular day he asked what my favorite flower was. Melt my heart.
I'm a girly girl, but working at LPM has almost been a shock to my system. Like for instance, last Thursday when after hours became beauty shop. My co-workers put my hair in this ponytail. And were so proud. I secretly loved it. Only at LPM.
I've spent some quality time here recently.
My co-worker and friend Nancy was so generous to give me and my co-workers tickets to the Casting Crowns concert this past Saturday at the Woodlands Pavilion. However, our real reason for being there was to see Lindsay McCaul, who happens to be her daughter-in-law. This was out on the lawn that night! It was packed!
My friend Angela and I at the concert!
A few of us from LPM with Lindsay! We were missing a few for the picture. So sad. But so thankful to Nancy for being so generous that night with us.
My mom's recital was this past Sunday. I've been to a few recitals in my day, but this father-daughter duo was a first. So precious!
Snail mail fills my love tank. And on this particular day, this sweet note and scripture cards from my friend Callie made my day! How precious are they? Thank you so much, Callie! You are wonderful!
Well, if that wasn't the most riveting revival of a post I'm not sure what was. Thank you for suffering through that with me.
Here's to blogging more frequently!
