Visit Christy or BOK

I finally got to see my good friend Christy when she met us over at Sunset Beach while we were on vacation.  It was good to see her after several years.

Join a Bible Study Group

Living in a new town makes it difficult to find a church and a group of people to study with.  So, I joined an online bible study.  It is part of the Bible app and its great because I can be friends with people in the app and discuss things.  Mostly I just talk to Eric about stuff.

I have also been reading a daily reading.  I've shared it with a few people, but again, mostly I discuss it with Eric.

I know this is not exactly what I had in mind when I said "join a bible study group", but ya gotta start somewhere!

Do a Groupon

I've done a few groupons in the last month or so.  Who knows what the next year will bring?!?!?!

Hang upside down on an inversion table

 I've had so many opportunities to try this over the last few months.  When I visit friends who have one I always say I'm going to try it, but then get distracted by other things.

 When I went to visit my friend E, her dad has one in the basement (that I have been meaning to try every other time I've visited).  I finally remembered to do it!

It felt good and stretched my back, but I could only hang for 20-30 second at a time cause it was difficult for my feet to stay supported in the straps.  Next time I'll try it with my shoes on!

Try adult coloring

I've been interested in trying this new craze.  This is my first...many more to go!

Host a ladies spa night and try a homemade belly wrap

Two of my favorite ladies drove in from out of town to hang with me for a ladies spa night.  We did pedis and manis, facials, and even tried homemade belly wraps (trust me, you dont want to see a pic of that!).  We drank sangria and ate snacks and talked the night away.  Good times!

PS Belly wraps did nothing but make a mess!  We measured before and after...no change.

Go horseback riding with Sonya

 We drove out to Ohio and spent the weekend with my friend Sonya.

 Sonya has been inviting me to come riding with her for years, but I've never made the time.

 Now that I live hours a few hours drive away, we made a weekend trip of it!

 The kids got to ride for the first time ever and only E's second time ever!

 It was a beautiful day and even though it was mid-April, it was 75 and sunny all day!  I even got a sunburn!

 Sonya's daughters were very good at teaching the kids to ride!

 We all had a marvelous time!  

Host a murder mystery party

 We hosted this party as our house warming party after moving into the new house.

 Surprisingly enough, everyone dressed up!

 We all had a good time!

The theme was little Italy so we ate lots of pasta and all dressed up like italian mobsters :)  Well, all except the priest, cop, and fortune teller!

Move into a house

We finally got out of the apartment building and into a house.  We are just renting, because we hope to only live in this area for a couple years.  It's good to have our own space with a bedroom for everyone and a basement for all our hobby stuff including a workout area!

Make Tapas with Kas

After opening my Spain box from Try the World, I thought it would be fun to make tapas with K.  K and I met in Spain back in 2002 and have been friends ever since.  She is the reason that I now live in Hammond, Indiana.  We had talked awhile back about how it would be fun to look through the photos from Spain and do some reminiscing.  We ate alot of food, relived alot of memories, and had alot of laughs!  Good times!
