January in Pictures

Snow, snow, and more snow!

And I couldn't forget a picture of Tiger! Can you see the longing in his eyes to go outside?

A visit to the Hlad farm and PUPPIES!

Bowling with Rachel. Would you believe we both actually broke 100?

I've been waiting for months for this girl to heal up from her torn ACL so we can play racquetball. At last, the time came in January!

One of the few times we had youth group in January due to weather. This game we call "Spin the Bottle." We lure them in the with the title, making them think they'll be kissing at youth group, and then we slam them with a water-filled 2-liter. In spite of the pain it causes, the kids LOVE it.

I just love these girls.


Birthday lunch with some of my Sunday School girls. Love them too!

No, your eyes do not deceive you. That is indeed a boy. A very handsome, kind-hearted, amazing boy at that. And yes, this is indeed a date! Who thought it was possible?

And last, but certainly not least, the highlight of January. A highlight of my life, actually. On the amazing date pictured above, I got to pet and feed a real, live RHINO!!! An opportunity so exciting that I never even thought to put it on my bucket list! I just love the little surprises life throws at us.
