Spring Break Shenanigans

Spring break is here. The last couple posts have been about those sure signs of spring. Sandhill cranes migrating north, warmer temps and oh yes, let us not forget the mud! I failed to mention that another sign of spring is here and that is spring break. While many people associate spring break with the beaches of Florida our girls chose to spend this spring break a little differently. Both girls managed to make it home. Lena is here for the duration of her spring break but I must use the term here rather loosely. She has been working, catching up with friends, shopping and helping her best friend Kassie plan her wedding! She has also been busy tormenting the dog.(exhibit A the photo of the dog wearing underwear!) She has been a joy to have around the house and those crazy moments are the ones I miss the most! Our home just seems to come back to life when the girls are here. Not only do Byron and I get excited to have them home, the dog is crazy with excitement when they are here. He will lay for hours at night and stare out the window waiting for their headlights to come down the road. Cracks me up that he can spot those headlights over a mile away!! Ashley was able to be home but just for a few days. Her job search continues and that took her back to Evansville early. We will continue to pray and ask that you will as well for success for her efforts. Ashley and I were able to spend some time together last Saturday, going to auctions and rummaging through thrift stores, looking for items for her first home. Yes, Ashley is moving into a real house (not a dorm room or apartment) for the first time in 4 years! As much as I hate it she is most at home in Evansville. There is nothing wrong with Southern Indiana other than the fact that it is 5 hours from here. She is as far away from home as she can get yet still be in the state of Indiana. A stones throw from Kentucky she is so excited and we are excited, happy and proud of and for her. Byron and I are planning a trip to Evansville in the next few weeks to help with the cleaning and painting, landscaping and whatever else needs to be done!
Things are certainly beginning to come back to life after a long, cold winter and I must say it is coming none to early for me! Happy March!
