dear SSA {a love letter to my blog}

I love you. Like, really truly big puffy pink sparkly heart you.

I devote so much time to you, and yet I don't get everything I want to do to you done. Posts are forever silenced in the drafts, the spacing is all wonky (not my fault; blame Blogger) and the photos are less than amazing most of the time, but you never complain. You take what you can get, which usually isn't what you deserve.

You are the place I come to say my piece, to share my opinions, fangirl, and share my faith. My two cents on life. I'm not afraid to shout from the rooftops how much I love my youth group or my undying devotion to peanut butter sandwiches and apple as a school lunch. I can be random and I can be serious. I am free to do what I want and say what I want to say here.

Probably the best thing that has come out of you (bad mental picture) is the friendships you've made possible. For reals, the online friends I have are amazing & I love them so much. To think that I wouldn't know these people if you didn't exist makes me fall into a depression.

I love you SSA.

and you thought my heart surgeon days were over

Well think again!

Last Friday I helped with the boys co-op...I hadn't been in a while (I used the time they were gone to blog at the Coffee Shack) and since they were going to dissect a cow's heart as well, Mama asked me to come. I officially never want to see a cow heart again.

Before all the juicy, meaty stuff took place, we played Jeparody with all heart-related questions.  I'm currently begging Mama to do it for Kaley and I at our next co-op ;)


These questions are hard, yo. Seriously, even I had to think hard about what the answer was.
The machinery that made it all possible...



I can't decide if they are concentrating or just confused.


At the last question they all used their heads to buzz in.



Mama is a natural.

Keeping score.

Hahaha, the Furloughs LOVE it when we let them take pictures. Nate's camera strap was so fitting, don't ya think? ;)



After the Jeparody game, we had snack. Yes, snack and a Jeparody game. I'm pretty sure the boys co-op is better than mine.

Brownies and cupcakes in a heart shaped pan. We is so smart.


Don't worry  Josh, it's confusing to me too.

Onto my crown and glory: the heart dissection. The boys faces and reactions were priceless.





Trey read the instructions when Miss Danielle couldn't take it anymore.

Surprisingly Elizabeth wanted in on the action.

Josh hoping to let the heart knowledge seep through his ears ??? Too funny.

Nate was into it. Seriously, he had the best time.

happy march!

Happy March, readers! Tell me I'm not the only one that still can't believe February is over. Seems like yesterday I was just switching over my calendar to that love month. But hey, I still write 2011 dating my schoolwork so clearly I am not the best person to ask about the date OR ask how to spell write because I just spelled it "right." I swear I get good grades...

The blog got a little spruced up what what the green header and all, plus pictures in the about me page (say wha?!). I love it when I get to change my blog without MAJORLY changing it, ya know what I'm saying? Any blogger should.

So here's to spring and spring break and spring colors and in case you couldn't tell I am dedicating this post to SPRING.

leap day and year and all that stuffs.

Confession: I think Leap Day is the coolest holiday. I mean, the fact that there is an extra DAY in the year?! And it only happens every four years?! Mind blown. People always want more time so BOOM God gave us an extra day. That is just so cool to me...cooler than Christmas and Thanksgiving and 4th of July and all that. I happen to think it's cooler than my birthday.

Since I'm Irish and all that (truth), I celebrated by...are ya ready? Wearing a green shirt. Yep, I go all out. Excuse the greasy hair...off to wash it tonight.



If I had Leap Year, I'd totally watch it too.

Happy Wednesday, readers! I'm off to listen to the rain pitter-patter on the roof (maybe with a rumble of thunder ::squeal::) and spend time with the family talking about our Spring Break plans. Oh yeahhh.
