so, carrie ended up coming home for the weekend. rather spontaneously. 

she surprised the fam and we had a party for daniel and stuff. so, twas a jolly evening. 

wrapped it up with some p90x ab ripper x. ya know, just for fun. 

oh, and some special k. for more fun. :)

and then, oh...i don't know what i did. kip left and seeing as kip is writing this blog post...

kip assumes i talked to joey, then talked to carrie for a bit, and maybe got ready for bed. and maybe went to bed. but, kip isn't 100% sure. so, you can just ignore all this. 

then, it was sunday. aka DUDLEYS BIRTHDAY!!

dudley is the awesomest. theres not much more to say. 

happinesses from sunday. 

:: crosspoint. 

:: "the only thing wrong with pastor ken is that he isn't omnipresent." -me 

:: a oh-so-extremely-gorgeous-day. i might have worn shorts. i might have also ran around the yard barefooted throwing a few frisbees with the sibs and kip. that might have been fun. 

:: lunch with poppy and gma lyn!!! 

:: family picture time! 

:: then...sibling picture time!

look at these AWESOME PEOPLE!!!

just LOOK at them!

:: went to church. 

:: ate PIZZA (win!)

once again kip isn't sure if this is true or not, but its approximately true. 

:: picked up carrie & headed back to columbia.

:: weekend awesomeness. 

:: now, back to school/work. 

[nina's gonna have an awesome week. God has given her everything she needs for life and godliness in Christ! and He can definitely give her everything she needs for this week!]

one more thing. theme verse for saturday. 

'do not be anxious for anything. but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.' -phil 4:6

and

'they they who wait for the Lord will renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.' -is 40:31 [and they will run a 5k and not finish last!] 

way to go nina! you're awesome! 

<3 kip.
