Spring

March 20 was the First Day of Spring. I post this picture in honor of that now-past occasion, taken last year at the place we went to visit last week. :) (No, it didn't actually look like that this time...but decidedly more so than my dear home-state does. :)

Happy Spring!!

Ivy's Going Places...

So...it has a name. As of an hour ago, actually. :) Thanks for voting, even if the name wasn't on the list and was only thought of, well, just over an hour ago. :)

"Ivy" means "gift"--and I praise God for giving me what I thought I was only dreaming about. :)

The oil and other such necessities have been changed (thanks, Dad!!), and it's ready to go.

Literally.

Because my sister and I will be hopping in Ivy next week for a road trip. Very exciting. And just as exciting is our destination. Watch out Greenville--here we come! Looking forward to Bible Conference 2011! :)

We Turn Things Upside Down

Wanted: A Name

My poor car has been nameless now for a week. Since I had my fish named (after the little jelly fish on "Finding Nemo") a very, very long time before I actually got my beloved Squishy...and I had my computer named as soon as it got home...methinks I need a little help. I was all set on a name--until I got my car, and I'm not sure it actually fits this car.

So what do you think? Leave a comment with your vote!

A) Bingley (from "Pride and Prejudice")

B) Leland (from "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye")

C) Mikey (from "Monster's Inc.")

D) your suggestion...

preferably named after something/one and why :)

God's Way is Best

A man's heart plans his way,

But the LORD directs his steps.

~Proverbs 16:9, NKJ

God's Ways

Even a "no" is a "yes" with God...

He says "no" to something

to say "yes" to something better.

~Pastor Mike Summers

(perhaps not an exact quotation, but very close :) )

Meet My New Friend...

This week's "Fun Stuff Wednesday" is the result of many prayers; many, many hours put in at work; and the blessing of God!

Before it's ready to meet you, it has to be clean...

But ta-da, my "new" '04 Chevy Malibu Maxx

I praise God--it's so much nicer than I thought I'd be able to get (afford)!

I'm just a little excited. :)
