Birthday Party

Last weekend I attended a 10 year old's birthday party - super fun! Oh to be 10 again! :)

This weekend is the River Bank Run - 25k here I come!  Dare to be There!

Meet at Marie's

Last Friday a few of my girlfriends and I met for dinner at Marie Catrib's.  Very yum.  It was great to catch up and chat, and we even got an 'I'm Prego' announcement from Kristina! How exciting!

Top it off with a stop at the Cone Shoppe! :)

Calling all Tennis Hobos!

I was looking through some old photos, and came across these dandies!  So this is a major shout out to my Tennis girls

Too bad I didnt have a blog back in the day!!  Love you all - wherever you are! :)

Dumb Luck

Recently in my mailbox at work I received this:

Every year gfs does this big March Madness party and we all draw teams and put our names down on the brackets.  I distinctly remember drawing a team (I have no idea which one), looking only at the seed number and saying, 'Oh Great, a middle seed I might as well not sign up!'  But I did, and apparently they had the glass slippers of Cinderella this year!  Giftcard!

A Royal Affair

It all started for me at 5:56 am when I walked into the lobby of the ymca, and caught a glimpse of Miss Kate Middleton's car making it's way to Westminster Abbey.  A flip switched and I was hooked for the day!!   I quick dropped my stuff in the locker room and ran upstairs to ride my royal bike and watch the gala affair with my bogo!  See kari's blog for my attire during the live event.

Then came the 'work day' in which I thought about the wedding a lot, and talked about it on several occasions with my girlfriends, including a celebratory lunch! :)

But the big event of my day came in the evening when I attended a Royal Watch Party!  We had so much fun dressing up and partaking in delicious food and conversation.

Our Hostesses: Queen Ann and the fair Maiden Anna

Lady Verwys and The Dutchess of Geysbeek were in attendance

The Spread - scones and jam of course!

All the ladies in attendance

The Lady Koning and her two daughters Dutchesses of Geysbeek and Hoogendyk

Fit for a queen!

Maiden Joanna and Lady Koning

What a beautiful event of the day; and such fun with friends!

April Showers

Today it rained, then drizzled, then poured, then rained, then spit, then tornadoed (sirens and everything), then poured, then rained, and now it's sprinkling.  Tomorrow's forecast? More of the same.  

Also today, I went to a visitation for one of my friend's dad, which, as you can imagine, was rough and made me thankful for my dear ol' daddio!  So in the spirit of April rains, and giving your dad an extra hug and shout out I give you the favorite joke of my father and grandfather Verwys:

April Showers bring?   

May Flowers.  

What do May Flowers bring?

Ready for it?!

PILGRIMS!

Now go have a great day!

He is Risen!

He is Risen indeed!

He is not here, for he is risen! Come see the place where Jesus lay; now go and share the wondrous story: Christ the Lord is risen today!  Hosana! He is risen from the dead and now I will rise when he calls my name! Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered!

Hallelujah! Praise his glorious name!
