Things I am (Mildly) Obsessed With at the Moment

1. The fact that I can pick a bouquet of flowers from my own backyard.

2. Picasa's wonderful new effects.

The First Days of Spring

"Spring has Sprung!" 

Or so it says on every shop window advertising "Spring Sales." For once, I have to agree with the businesses of the world and declare that Spring, indeed, has sprung. At least in our backyard.

Last week I wore a floor-length dress (with ruffles!), rode on a limo, became the shortest among the girls, was deaf for four hours, ran around in the rain in a floor-length dress, stood on a cliff, named all the sharks in an aquarium, was stalked by a fish*, danced on a teeter-totter, drank liquid happiness, stared at water for twenty minutes, climbed a mountain, turned my friend into a zombie, killed my friend's brother, turned myself into a vampire, pretended to like pop music, taught my friend a song by Adele on the piano, vandalized my friend's car, vandalized my other friend's house, bought a pocket-watch and waistcoat, and LEFT MY CAMERA IN CALIFORNIA!

But I got it back, so everything is OK now. Overall, my tip to California was pretty great!

This is Blake and Luke. (And Becca walking in front)

As I said before, liquid happiness.

My lovely pal bought me the bright orange raincoat in front for my birthday, and I've received quite a few compliments regarding it.

The church I attended in California (Skyline Church) opened it's new sanctuary the week I was there. They've been planning it for about twenty years.

(33 lights for the 33 years of Jesus' life.)

And now, to change the subject ENTIRELY...

We made a monster movie. It was amazing.

This photo isn't even very good, but I'm showing it to you anyway.

And. of course, no trip to California is complete without a photoshoot!
