This first week of 2015 has already proved to be quite an emotional roller coaster. We expected part of it with the anniversary of D's dad's death and his birthday this week. What we didn't expect I will share at the end of this post.
A little car selfie as we were pulling out of the driveway Saturday morning. I just love this.
My grandmother always said when she went to church that she was going to the "church house." I was reminded Sunday morning that wherever you worship can be your "church house." I just happen to love this one.
Before D left we went on a movie date to see "A Night at the Museum." We don't go to the movies very often but we had seen the other two in this series and really wanted to see the last on-screen performance of Robin Williams. I was super sentimental about it because I am a huge Robin Williams fan. The children and I watched "Mrs. Doubtfire" at least 50 times when they were little and it remains my favorite movie of his. However, his "Aladdin" character (voice only) is one of my favorites, too. Another one the children and I watched a zillion times.
On January 1st, I began posting the most popular recipes from 2014 on the Cooking with Crevolyn blog. (www.cookingwithcrevolyn.com) These are the recipes that got the most views as well as ones that I got the most feedback on. Well, this particular one may have topped that list - Slow Cooker Heavenly Chocolate Dessert. Y'all, it has 4 ingredients that you just dump in the slow cooker and in about 3 to 4 hours it's done. Trust me, you will want to make this. Check it out here.
Okay, prepare yourself for this. Monday was the anniversary of Poppa's death so we all woke up a little blue but were determined to make it a good day. We were all telling stories, laughing, crying, and overall, just remembering a wonderful man in our own ways.
D's aunt stepped out on the balcony at the house and took this photo with her iPad into the sunlight. When she came back in and was looking through her photos, she gasped. All she could do was hold this out for all of us to see. Needless to say, we were speechless. Look very carefully at the top of this photo. And if you think there are not angels among us, you would be wrong...because this proves it. I have never in my life been witness to such. God is so amazing.
Also on Monday, we got some very disturbing news. One of G's closest friends from high school has gone missing. He disappeared early Monday morning with no keys, cash, cell phone; nothing but the clothes he was wearing. He lives near the Buford Dam area and search teams have gone out continuously since Monday. G has been assisting with the search effort. As you might guess, his parents are devastated and we are heartbroken for them. Please, if you would, say a prayer for Kelly's safe return and the Nash family.
