The Big Reveal(s)

I am NOT pregnant.

(I just thought I would get that one out of the way so you wouldn't be wondering about it in the back of your mind as you read this post.)

But there have been some changes lately, so here is a report...and some other reasons why I've been too busy to write on my blog very much.

We turned it into a beach-inspired youth room and we've been watching Gospel Journey Maui in there on Wednesday nights with the youth group.

And came out feeling like I look like this:I would post a real picture, but I am struggling with vanity because in my mind, I wanted to look like her:But in reality, I'm feelin' a little more like her:
And the last Big Reveal is that we are moving to Southern California this summer. Yup. More on that later.

And I guess I'll reluctantly show the dorky picture of me with my new haircut...
There, I did it.
