  So I am taking a break from facebook. It didn't really bother me till I had an empty Sunday afternoon. I so badly wanted to see what was going on and I even went so far as to click on my facebook tab, but quickly closed it down before anything came up!!

   I just need to know that I can do this....I don't want to be addicted to opening facebook every couple hours everyday. It's been 4 days so far!  I haven't really set a time....maybe a week, maybe 10 days, maybe less!??

  

   So we've been having the most beautiful weather this past week and it looks like it will continue into the coming week as well. It's so hard to want to get into indoor projects when it's so nice out, but I don't want my break from facebook to be wasted! I want to get some things organized in here! On Saturday the guys worked outside. Dan did some string trimming and also trimmed 2 shrubs that needed it yet. Then they put down more pine straw. We are getting unlimited pine straw from a friend from church, which is so nice. I think the guys went 4 times already and loaded the back of Dan's Jeep! We don't have much left to do....but things are looking much better around here!

  

   Tonight the Penner Family from Canada will be singing at church...this is not a normal church night, but since they were going to be in the area, we are having them! I am looking forward to hearing them, since we never have before....sounds like they have a great ministry to widows and others as well.

  

  I am searching and planning and searching and hoping! In July we will be married 15 years. Stepping back....when we were about to be married 10 years, we thought we'd do something special to mark our 10 year anniversary. But, we had just moved to FL and were in full time volunteer ministry. Money was scarce and it just was not an option. So we thought we would try for our 15 year anniversary. While things aren't a whole lot different financially, we do have some $$ put aside and as long as nothing else big comes up that we need that $$ for, we might be able to pull it off this time. (I hope!!) I want to go to St. Augustine, FL for a weekend. So I am researching to see what motels cost, what kind of attraction there are and in general how much it is going to cost.  And I am hoping...and praying that this will work out. It's not real extreme, like a cruise (which I would LOVE to do) and it's not real far from home....but it would be so welcomed!  We shall see!

  Have any of you been to St. Augustine? Any recommendations?

   This week we will be learning about the 10 plagues in Bible/History....hope to have lots of fun and get some good pics! We will be having our second to last American Sign Language class as well. Other than that, our week is empty for a change...well, maybe! We may spend part of a day with floridayankees and swap my knowledge of Xanga with her knowledge of doing messy buns!  

   I was so thrilled to find a skirt for the upcoming Ladies Tea Fundraiser in March. The theme is "The Nature of God's Love" and the colors are going to be hot pink and zebra print.

  

  I also got an outfit for Tamara but I think the shirt is a little tight. I got her a woman's small....thinking maybe I should try medium. (Is my daughter growing or what?? )I may try to find something else....I'd also like to add hot pink accents somehow. Maybe a headband, flower, ribbon...something!

  

  Last night we went to see the Strength Team at the local High School. We had seen them 2 years ago and this time there were only 2 guys instead of 4, so they didn't do quite as much, but it was still good!! They have a great ministry to young people! It's amazing how strong they are!!

  Getting ready to smash 10 concrete slabs in half....

  

  ...success!

  

  Bending a metal rod over his head....made it into a fish shape!

  

   Have a great week, whether you are experiencing spring or getting another blast of winter! God is good!!
