1. I have never ever been to Niagara Falls. I really want to go sometime.

2. My parents decided to name me Jennifer after watching the movie Love Story. I’ve never seen it because they told me it wasn’t a movie with good morals. Everyone makes mistakes, even parents.

3. My second toe is longer than my Big toe.

4. I love headbands and pretty things to put in my hair. Especially by Black Bird Blue.

5. If I am not wearing my rainbows I will probably be wearing my Monkey slippers.

6. There are five projects I am working on in my garage right now! I love taking something that looks like trash and making it look great. Jesus did this with me.

7. One of my dreams is to travel Europe for a month riding the Eurorail.

8. I don’t like any kind of turnip greens, mustard greens or the like. I know I live in the south, but Yuck!

9. When buying clothes, I don’t usually try them on at the store. I take them home and try them on. I don’t really care for dressing rooms.

10. I cherish my family and revel in the moments I get to spend with them.

What’s important?

This weekend was not our normal Easter weekend. A long time member of our church passed from this life into the next to be face to face with Jesus. With this has come many emotions because he had a long illness, but our hearts hurt to be with him.

On Sunday evening, after spending a day celebrating the resurrection of our Saviour, our family came together to have dessert and hunt for eggs. We changed our plans due to the events of the weekend. It would have been easy to for go everything all together, but family is worth it.

To make it even more special for us all, I made Bryan’s grandmother’s famous Sour Cream Pound Cake. It is comfort food that melts in your mouth and was devoured, savored and mashed into mouths.

I am so thankful to Papa and Nana who let us crash their house with dessert and eggs  one hour after their arrival from Florida. They had been there due to Papa’s father’s health.

Nothing is more important to me except my relationship with Jesus Christ than my family. I treasure you all my loves.
