Hello 2011.

Here is a sweet little prayer from an old friend...


"Heavenly Father, I pray that you bring peace, calm, and joy into Alaina's heart and mind. Free her from the burden's she is carrying, and allow her to lay everything at the foot of the cross. Build her up in YOUR strength, and empower her to conquer the world through Your Spirit. Amen."






thank you, thank you, thank you.

Mission Arizona = success

So two weeks ago, Heidi, Kaylee and myself were at dland the day after the boys left for choir tour, sadly we already missed them and came up with the idea of surprising them on one of their last shows in Phoenix AZ. It was SO hard to keep a secret from Kolin SHEESH, never again, well maybe ;)

beautiful palm springs at 5a.m.

gettin closer!

had to refuel around 7.

FINALLY!

we were so silly, and made signs, it was GREAT.

he lit up!

kolin was seriously, one of the last guys out from back stage, he was texting me, I told him I was in church, little did he know I was at the church he was singing at!

we kidnapped them for the ride home!

aww.

=]

WHEW. we did it!

group shot!

he makes me so incredibly happy!

kaylee, I LOVE YOU!

ps. thanks heidi for taking all the pics this trip, I was to anxious to even take my camera out.

I am exhausted

beyond measures.

Here's a look into my week:

I get to house sit for my sis tomorrow until Saturday.

I plan on getting my tan on, being so close to the beach and all.

I babysat tonight, two adorable little boys that I have missed dearly.

Went to the happiest place on earth with the beautiful Heidi and charming Kaylee.

We planned something so exciting.

I plan on getting a pedicure tomorrow.

Oh and a long over due hair cut on friday. (haven't had one since January 5th) I am however bringing back the whole no coloring my hair for an entire year and I'm 4 months into my year, so far so good!

I have a planned play date on Thursday that I am SO excited for.

Saturday I get to do the lovely Kelsey's hair and make up for her prom, one last time! EEK.

Just a little side note- I've had the worst allergies the past four days its ridiculous.

Then I am off to Big Bear for Mother's day weekend.

Not really looking forward to that drive alone, but I plan on finding some rad on fire for God podcast to listen to on the way up.

God is good. Agreed? AGREED.

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

His works are completely perfect in every possible way. This has definitely been on my heart lately. God is perfect. Nothing else is. I need to remember I am glorifying our PERFECT maker every move I make, so I better make those moves count. Every step of the way.

Thanks Danny for letting me use your lens!!

Recap

Long Beach was a blast. Such a nice lil weekend get away.
Hannah and I always make the best of every situation and I thank God daily for blessing me with such a beautiful friend inside and out.

We went to Huntington as well.  Probably one of my favorite feelings in the world is driving down PCH with the windows down, my hair goin crazy as usual and the music turned up with everyone in the car using those vocal chords loud and clear. love love love.

I even added music to it!

As if a potluck wasn't enough, we had to come back and snack on some cookie dough. I love how mine and Danny's friendship is based on food. All day. Every day.
