my man, the weekend, & sugar is crack.

i just have to take one moment to tell you all how proud i am of this guy.

not only does he work 80+ hours a week

furthering his education to later provide for his family

and serving a church as worship pastor to currently provide for his family

but he is a great dad to our little Nash

i still walk in the bedroom to find tim lying on the bed,

holding Nash like a baby even on his busiest day.

he also lost 6 pounds last week.

(holy biggest loser, batman.)

and got an A in his Greek class.

he's smart.

has a beard.

and puts Jesus first.

what more could you ask for?

in other news,

i had a lovely weekend with family.

i inherited a lot of clothes that actually fit

(lacey)

enjoyed cappuccino, laughs, and some good food

(family)

little update for those of you who are aware that Alicia is currently working in Japan:

she lives in Tokyo and her apartment got tossed around a bit, but overall everything is ok. she actually landed in South Korea earlier today, where she will be stationed for awhile. i believe the official reason has to do with the lack of resources currently available... it's sort of a huge relief for us... although it's hard to tell what's really going on with the nuclear plants, i think we'd all just really prefer her to be somewhere else right now.

and last,

i realized today that my mood is directly related to my sugar intake.

would it be worth it to do a part-lent?

for this reason?

because that's not healthy.
