Savannah Part 2

It's sunny and cold here in Harrisonburg and even flurried a little bit yesterday.  Harrisonburg weather is the strangest.  While I'm sitting outside freezing my dad was on the phone telling me that him, my mom, and my sister were laying out by the pool in South Carolina after a walk on the beach.  And now I just got a picture of them taking a carriage ride through Charleston.  What a life.  I'm a little bitter if you can't tell.  It's my sister's spring break and they are living it up on Edisto Island.  I'm so glad my parents get to relax and rest for the week.  If you knew how busy they've been these past couple of months, you would know that they need and deserve this break.  Missing you guys and looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Enjoy the last couple of days of your vacation!  


Our spring break in March was windy and cold.  This part of the trip is my absolute favorite though.  We were total tourists with maps and cameras and asking people questions and I absolutely loved it.  This is also my favorite part of the video because it shows how goofy all my suite mates are.  They make me laugh like no other.  So here's part 2...enjoy!







These girls are the best.

Savannah

This is a long overdue blog post.  Spring break was weeks ago, but the trip was SO good I need to share.  It was the perfect mix between relaxing and sight seeing and more relaxing.  The weather wasn't 80 degrees and sunny everyday, but that was fine.  We made the best of it.  The 6 days were filled with card games (Monopoly Deal is our new favorite), lots of cooking, celebrating Ali's 20th birthday, golf cart rides, exploring downtown, dining out (went to Paula Deen's restaurant and it was delicious but made us feel sooo sick), going to the Savannah Candy Kitchen, watching movies every night, and just enjoying our time with each other outside of school life.  Laura's parents were so kind to let us use their house down there and we are so appreciative!! Ali and I wanted to make a little video to remember our trip and we had lots of time in the car to do it so we did.  We used Ali's flip camera for some of it and my camera for other parts.  I hope this is something we will look back on years from now and remember how great it was.  So here we go...here's part 1 of the video of our spring break trip to Savannah:




He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! I've been saying this all day.  It's so exciting!  This morning's message at church was banging. Matt talked about how being with Jesus is when you will see Jesus and seeing is a way of talking about understanding.  And what matters in a life of faith is your relationship with Jesus, it was then and it is now.  Simple as that.  We are in a state of death when we fail to recognize the reality of the Resurrection in our lives and the Resurrection is a current reality.  My biggest takeaway was that we need to go and tell so we may come and see!  If you go and tell without knowing where you are going it doesn't matter as long as you are going and telling.  Love that.  


Happy Easter!
