Friday night. Four friends. Forks. Fifth (unknowing, not home) friend's yard. Fun.
Pulled a little prank on Friday night with Tim and Becky and her boyfriend Brandon. Poor Thomas, it was his last night formally at his dad's home before he got the keys to his apartment. We bought 400 plastic forks and figured those would make a nice farewell gift to him.
Good ole' Thom, he knew it was us right away. He even guessed the number 400 right away! Smarty pants! Anyway, he was a good sport about it all and was especially glad when I agreed to help him clean up the utensil-stricken lawn Saturday morning. That also appeased his father, who was angry because he was planning on mowing the yard that morning. Anyway, Thom put together a lovely video of the tragic event and it's... well, forking fantastic!
Forks, Forks, Forks!

Summer bucket list, items one through six
I suppose the most obvious item on this list would be to get married. Let's just assume that one as being automatically above all other cool things and start this list.
These will be in no particular order. I will add to this list when I think of more items. These items do not have to be big or costly. They must be jolly.
Item number one: A best friend long weekend trip. Me. Becky. Driving. Beach. Cute town. Three day weekend. Where?
Item number two: Wake up early and go to the beach for a breakfast picnic. Be sure to get there just in time for the sunrise. Do this before work. Do this twice: once just with me and Seth, once with a whole gaggle of friends.
Item number three: Weddings. Both Seth and I are in and going to a lot of weddings. We will make sure these days are fun. We will not let them stress us out or break our bank. We will not compare. Comparison is the thief of joy. Our wedding will be a wonderful, happy day. It will be our favorite day. This will be a fact and will not be based on whether or not we had the best decor, prettiest invitations, most creative cake, happiest playlist, cutest video montage, etc...
Item number four: Recreate the color run. All the cool kids I know wanted to do this. But it filled up fast. Oh, and I've never run 3.1 miles at a time at any point my life. Somehow, we will gather friends and have a color party. And it will be messy and we will be jubilant. (P.S. maybe an item on this list should be to make myself run 3.1 miles? I dunno, that's pretty ambitious...)
Item number Five: Learn how to cook. Simple, good meals with fresh ingredients and not much prep time. (I'm already getting a head start on this one and I'm going to be so domestic by the time I'm a wife.) Learn how to grocery shop efficiently and with the perfect balance of cost-effectiveness and wholesome food purchasing.
Item number six: Spend one really good, really long day alone in prayer and Bible reading. Make it less about a laundry list of my woes and more about being awed by my Savior.

I think I just made something cool
What do you get when you have a groom who's not much taller than you, a propensity to trip when walking in heels, and an outdoor ceremony venue? You get a bride who wants to wear flats.
And that's me.
And so I bought these boring gold glittery flats. Okay, so gold and glittery don't exactly equal boring, but the shoe itself was really plain. And I wanted to make something to jazz it up. And this idea just BAM! Popped into my mind!
And so I purchased a few cheapo hair clips from Forever 21 today, and I ripped them apart and pulled out my hot glue gun. And I started attacking my ribbons and markers.
And I think I really like the final product.
And that's me.

BO-RING!
Forever 21, thank you for being so full of cheap hair goods.
Rip to shreds, color a bit (just for fun.)
Hot glue like it's all the rage!
Hey Mikey, I think she likes it!

He is risen!
My Jesus lived a perfect life. And then He died for MY sins! And then He rose again three days after that so that I- thousands of years later- can serve a living Savior!
His love and holiness were perfectly displayed. He fulfilled His Father's will. He abolished a rigorous system of laws and in its place established grace- the only thing that can save, the only thing that can genuinely change a life.
I have no choice but to live my life being in awe of Him!
Happy Easter
