We recently returned from a much needed vacation to Puerto Rico. A lot of “first time’s” for us on this trip. We had so much fun! I was so excited to start scraping memories from the trip, I actually started on the plane on our way home! Here are a few spreads. I used the Bermuda Triangle kit from Pixels and Company.

Between weddings and funerals we have been doing a great deal of traveling the past couple of weeks. One of our favorite things to do is take off for a drive – even if we don’t have a destination in mind. I wanted to share some photos from our most recent trip through the Sandhills of Nebraska. We took the scenic drive along Highway 2 from Grand Island to Hyannis. On the way home we took Highway 83 out of Thedford. We stopped at a scenic overlook with small trail and view of the Dismal River.
The view was gorgeous! It was a great way to end our vacation and drive through the Sandhills.

When most college students describe how they will be spending their spring breaks, either they are traveling to warmer weather or to the mountains for skiing. Although I will be headed to Colorado this next week, winter sports are not on the agenda.
Instead, I will be joining other UNK, KU and K-State students in serving at Eagle Lake Camps in Colorado Springs. Eagle Lake Camps is a part of the Navigators ministry focused on offering Christ-centered summer camps for kids. This past summer Eagle Lake was impacted by the Waldo Canyon Fires. Therefore, we’re traveling to Eagle Lake Camp to serve them in whatever way possible, whether that be with fire clean up or general camp maintenance to prepare for the summer.

Another part of this trip that makes it unique is the opportunity to hear from speakers from the Navigators such as Jerry Bridges and Doug Nuenke as we grow in our walks with God. I think that we are going to be seriously challenged in our relationships with God and given the opportunity to reevaluate the priorities in our lives.
If you would please pray with us that we would have safe travels there tomorrow and back next Friday, that we would keep our focus on Christ, that we would have servants’ hearts, and that God would use us to fulfill His will.

I missed posting again on Monday…shame on me! This week began a little rough with Daylight Savings and all, but I’ve finally caught up with myself.
These past two weekends have been full of family, basketball (GO WHIPPETS!), and chores. Jake lives and works in the Animal Science building. Lately, I’ve been helping him do weekend chores…sound awful?! It’s actually not too bad. While Jake does the chores that I am not “qualified” to do I help him out by picking the horse stalls and arena and feeding animals.
I’m just glad to be keeping busy, it takes my mind off the fact that the weather is gorgeous and that Spring Break begins this weekend! WooHoo! I’m going home and have a lot planned đŸ˜‰ that’s right…you guessed it – wedding details! Stay tuned because I’m planning on making a lot of progress!
