recent happenings

Here are a few of the most recent happenings in my life...
 Hanna came to visit me!  Her first trip to Texas, so I showed her all around, which meant a lot of driving.  We had a great time.  Thanks so much for spending part of your spring break with me!  Sadly, this is the only photo we took the whole time.  You'd think with the two of us we'd have hundreds to share!  We went out in Austin with Amanda one night.
 Chris and I volunteered with two other wonderful ladies to sell some KISS merchandise.  We sold over $25,000 worth of merchandise (not too hard when tshirts are $40!!!!) and then we raised over $1000 for global missions for our synod.  We're working the final game in March Madness to raise more money too!

 Here's our booth!  It was completely empty by the end of the night.  We sold all but 2 shirts, including the shirts off our backs!

We had a group out at camp over spring break.  I got to go kayaking with them for a day and then camp out.  It was gorgeous weather and we had a great time!  I didn't even get sunburned :)

 Chris and I tackeled his lovely mailbox the other weekend.  I forgot to take a true before picture, this is already after one whole bag of dead plants was gathered.
 Check out the progress - looking pretty good!
 And the finished product.  The nicest looking mailbox on the street I think!
We also did some weeding and mulching at the front of his house.  Looking good!
