like Christmas morning

I woke up this morning feeling like a kid at Christmas! Here are some reasons today is awesome:

1. THE BIG DANCE begins in less than two hours!!!

2. K-State is a 2 seed! AH! I've never been more excited for the tourney, and that says a lot!

3. anything can happen in march!

4. we are going to disneyworld/spring training today with ricky's amazing parents!

5. hunter is staying at his new bff/soulmate's house. here he is asserting his dominance laziness.





6. Jax and Pax have arrived! And Cora will be here today! I love them.

7. Because the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. -Lam 3:22-23

I hope you find some reasons to be overjoyed today!

lc little ones

happy lost canyon baby month! we like to joke around that we got out of williams just in time, because clearly there has to be something if the water if there are 3 lc babies due this month! but it's times like these that it's hard to be away. but praise the Lord for how technology can be used! we got to meet sweet baby Jax on skype a couple of days ago! i feel like a proud aunt! i got the pleasure of living with Jax's incredible parents and wonderdog while ricky and i were engaged, and they are truly family to us! we're waiting for a couple more little ones to make their appearance in the next couple of weeks! and then we'll be hopefully be planning a trip out west to meet them in person! what a joy it is to us that our lost canyon family continues to grow!

and by the way...we had an incredible time at sharptop! i could do that every single weekend...maybe minus the whole lack of sleep thing! but serving the Lord and teenagers, watching their leaders love them unconditionally, watching the walls come down and the lightbulbs go off, that is what makes us feel the most alive! definitely feeling recharged after this weekend! and hooray for another weekend! hopefully with more sleep and another wilcat victory!

a YL weekend

we are SO excited that after work today we get to spend the weekend at sharptop cove! we have a lot of love for young life and it's such a blessing to be able to be a part of what God's doing through YL when we get the chance! stoked! we're going to be head leaders & hope you'll join us in prayer for the high school kids and their leaders as they spend the weekend in fun, laughter, and deep conversations about the God who loves us more than we can comprehend! woohoo!

more snow!

today was a great day! i got a new haircut! much shorter than expected but i was ready for change.

ricky asked why i was giving him peace signs like 50cent...solo pictures are awkward so being gangster always helps!

and we have yet another BLIZZARD!! but we actually might accumulate up to 4-5 inches which is huge for atlanta! we already have a couple at our house! people are hilarious about it. on my way home i drove by a church that had the sign: parents night out cancelled due to panic. love it!  but for real we'll be stuck at our house tomorrow because they don't have the equipment to clear the roads. it's been a long time since i've seen the trees absolutely covered like this and it just reminds me of northern arizona. to me, nothing is more beautiful than the trees & mountains there when it snows! but one thing that i absolutely love about the south...magnolia trees! covered in snow? obsessed.

happy love day to you all! we're thankful for your presence in our lives!

flashback!

i've been meaning to post these pictures for a while, oops!! i've been missing kc lately and i was hoping to visit this month for no reason...since the past several trips have been for a specific purpose and therefore jam packed. and i was thinking february since two of my besties celebrate bdays in february...but sometimes you just can't do it all.

dear economy, would you mind turning around so i can do what i want?
