our trip to orlando

I’ve needed to write this post, but I’ve been unsure how to go about it. I went down to Orlando for a few days last week. It was a quick trip, came in the middle of a really busy season (with Christmas events), and I never really explained why I went. The truth is, I went to take my kitties down to my parents and leave them there. Is it ironic that this happened on the 6th anniversary of me…

food drive – update

Remember when I mentioned the food drive our church was doing for Thanksgiving? I had a lot of fun buying food for that, and I turned it in. I meant to take a picture of what I ended up doing, but I forgot. We had another food drive last Sunday, and I’m running a bit late but I was able to get all the food today while I was at Aldi. I thought I’d share with what I ended up…
