1- We went to church this morning. Always a great start to a new week. Probably my least favorite part of moving {yes, even less than saying 'see you later' to two years worth of friends and packing everything we own} is finding a new church. Unfortunately, Rob and I have some pretty specific things we like... and don't like... in a church. If you've ever had THAT church -- you know the one that feels like HOME -- and have had to move away from it, you know that it is devastating. Every church from here on will be measured against that church. Herein lies the problem. Nowhere will ever be there. But you can't let that beat you. You have to keep looking and find a church which feels, maybe not like home, but like somewhere you can find a niche... make your own home away from home. So, anyway... church this morning was good. And it was the second time we visited the same church. It may not end up being the one we stick with, but at least we haven't let the search defeat us. We got up. We dressed. We got in the car. We went. We were in the pews. We worshipped. It was nice.
2- The kids and I joined Jane and Little Miss Ava at the SplashZone this afternoon for some good ol' fun in the sun... and water... and sand. This place was AWESOME! Not only is there a zero entry pool, complete with turn-the-lever-water-shooters, but there was also a lazy river and a whirlpool! {There were two 'big' waterslides too, but none of the kids were tall enough to ride, so we didn't go there.} Now, what could make this even better? A huge sand box... with water works in there too! So, when the kids needed a break, they would wander over to the sandy area and cover themselves with wet sand. All while they were making rivers and dams. Awesome. {I don't have any pictures from today -- I just couldn't see having to keep a camera dry and sand free in such a place. It was much more fun to actually get to PLAY with my kiddos!}
(since I don't have pictures, here are two of my cuties... in water... does that count?)
3- I watched the season finale of Hot Shot with Rob tonight. Not something I ever wanted to watch, but he hardly ever asks to watch something specific, and he liked this show so we ended up watching the season. After a while, I ended up actually liking it too! And the guy I liked from the beginning won. Yay! {He reminded me of this hottie... yum!}

4- We have a kids' table that our kids love. Over the time we've had it (it was a hand-me-down), it has been splattered with paint and covered with crayon. It is loved. However, it has started to look... well, not so great. While the kids and I were at the SplashZone today, Rob stayed home. He took the table apart and started the sanding process. The table is getting a facelift! I think we're going to make the top a chalkboard -- even though we all know I really, really dislike chalk. But the kids like it.
5- I love my husband. Does it hit you sometimes? Tonight I was sitting here, uploading some pictures from yesterday and it just hit me. I sure do love him. And guess what? He loves me too :-) I'm about the luckiest lady I know!

you guys ooze love.
that water park sounds really neat. maybe one day we can visit in the summer. and yea, best to get a disposable camera for that (if you wanted pictures there). i'd dare not take even a cheapo digital camera near the water or sand. no way jose!
oh and so what is the church you compare them all to? what about the church you guys went to when you lived there before?
we (i) have some specifics that i have too and i just can't find them. i think down here in the south, i'm just flat out of luck. too bad, too, because i'd really like my kids to grow up in church. some, anyway.
I know what you mean about the sudden gush of loving your husband. I was reposting all those videos of mine and Mark's ga ga stage and it hit me all over again how much I love him/how lucky I am.
