Taking A Break...

{via}
Maybe it's because I grew up in Hope, Arkansas
Maybe it's because summer is just around the corner.
Either way, I'm ready for some watermelon goodness in my life :)

I do apologize for being gone for so long. I have been reading, (but slacking on commenting), your blogs and keeping up. I do have a good reason, I promise!

Also, this week is Holy Week in preparation for Easter Sunday! Yes, I am one of the slackers that still needs to get easter goodies from the store. What's that you say? Phil and I are grown ups and don't need Easter baskets?! I politely disagree :) Also, since Phil gave up video games for Lent, guess who gets a new Xbox or Wii game? Since my focus for Lent was growing closer to God by having more reflection time, I have a feeling the bunny's gonna give me the choice between a new bible or a bible study book! The candy is just a plus ;) HAHA

Other than that, Phil is writing away and I'm working away. We did get all moved in to our new place nearly 2 weeks ago! I don't know how we'll get a guest bed in that small second room, but we'll figure something out. Apartments are definitely made for people with little to no furniture. The Coghills? We have too much furniture. Story of our lives: we have too much stuff.

Hope y'all are doing well!!

Now I Know Just Why You Stay...


I'm linking up with the fabulous Laura for her first Fabulous Friday!

The Fabulous List for me right now:

- my husband. Holy moly have I put him through a lot lately. He is my earthly rock and I could not imagine my life without him

- Baseball season has officially started again! We're not going to talk about the Royals or Hochevar's horrible start, but my entire family is just happy to have America's Favorite Pastime back!

- These lollipop molds I got for my BFF's wedding shower later this month. If you know us, you know this is absolutely the coolest thing and we're both super excited about it!

- Getting my new camera this week!  I'm having so much fun with it already! Now I just need to get better at editing photos...

- Video chats with my parents thanks to FaceTime. We've had more chats than we have in awhile and it's so nice to see their lovely faces :)

- This is our last weekend at our current apartment! We are moving across town to a place near my work and our churches. Even though it's not a whole lot of money saved, and even though it's about the same size as our current place, it comes with a washer/dryer in the unit AND we have 1 assigned covered parking spot. I am SO happy :D

What's your fabulous list? Link up!

(p.s. The song actually starts at 1:58... I don't understand the super long intro)

But I Know What It Feels Like

This post is going to be awfully vulnerable and hard for me, but I really want to finally say it out loud. I got permission for my daughter ...
