Sun-Dry

My past month has been filled with a variety and assortment of sundry things (as I'm certain yours has been as well =) ... following, are several of them.

Writing/making thank you cards for graduation. =)
(I love when I actually do sit down and make cards!)

~Celebrating Friends' birtdays~
Happy Birtday, A1!
Love,
Steak ;)

Going bowling with dynamic individuals!

Adventuring at the Zoo

Cramming six cousins into one Amish transport
...

... then looking at the pictures later, only to realize that not all of us made it into the buggy! ;P
lol

(notice Erik =)

Visiting my Grandma Sophie and celebrating 936 months of her life!
We are twins - 60 years apart. <3

Road-tripping it up with the Olive. =D
(in 105 degree temps! =P)

Arriving at our cottage destination in MI.

Where we found a wee little man
(whose name was not Zaccheus .... it was Evin =)!

What a fluffy dook! <3

Livs and I were 'official babysitters' for him, because his mommy and daddy were shooting a wedding; but, really, everyone else wanted to babysit him too
(I do not blame them). ;)

For the send off, everyone released balloons!
(wha'a brilliant idear)

Evin and The Pink Balloon

It was stunning ... 

Surfer Dude =]

He's such an adorable character!

I got to see some amazing gels {g'ells =}!!
Miss you already, A & V. <3

Walking back from a lovely church service. =)
Like myself, Tim is directionally challenged ... heh, and we're not even blood-related. ;)

Dear sisterly-times <3

Praise the Lord for His travel mercies!
As you go throughout your day, washing dishes; folding laundry; preparing meals; cleaning house; working at the office; babysitting your siblings or, perhaps, practicing some music -  remember exactly Who it is that you're doing it for.
Do it as unto Him!

Sunshine is a Smiley Thing, Yes?

And we are one step closer to being 'caught up' on this February month! ;P I tell you, I've never known February to be so very ... social? =) It's been grand! My past February behaviors have been to basically hibernate and only come out of my leetle groundhog-hole once or twice for Valentine's happenings (excepting church, naturally =) ... and as it was, last year, I was sick with bronchitis for 3/4 of the month - so, I wasn't even able to leave my home for church! ='( It was lonely, quite, at times; howevah, God is certainly a god of balance! Since last year's February held hardly any happenings, this year's has been happening left and right and up and down! =] I hardly knew a month who loved being so happening-ish ... =}

At any pace, here we are in sunny Flo-REE-da! =)

::the lovahlee establishment with palm trees::

::the location of the wedding (which was, of course, the reason for me being there =)::

::the Duggars played and sang before the ceremony::

::Olivette played with a group from HQ::

::the radiant bride!::

::David & Priscilla::

::one of the adorable flower girls::

::stellar people who were attending::

::*sigh for happiness* I like these people, I really do ... ::

::Lyddie and Serena::

::ah, the red golf-ball::

::my traveling buddy! who played Name Chase with me for 20 hours ... =D::

[if Name Chase you have not played, you must needs come to my house and it shall be remedied =]

{Aitlinca, ankstha osa uchma orfa etha andgra imeta! Ophiasa goodbye =}

Of a truth, this wedding was one of the most spiritually uplifting and refreshing weddings I've had the privilege to attend. God was certainly glorified, and I was incredibly blessed to have been there! God bless you, David and Priscilla, as you continue to glorify God with your lives and share your testimony with others. <3

This month, several of the girls and mothers at my church have been memorizing Psalm 57 together {thanks, Neecole, for your loving inspiration!} - I cannot convey to you just how meaningful it has been, not only the added enrichment that one enjoys when memorizing with others; but, most importantly, reflecting on how exceedingly privileged we, in America, are to have God's Word in our possession. We can have the joy of hiding His Word in our hearts! Not every Christian can say that - and to think of those who do have the Bible, but they take it for granted.

O dear Christian, may you and I never be accused of taking the Word of the Lord for granted!

Pip-pip,

Phia

Next up: hitting the slopes {yet again =} and my time with Ans!
