May the Fourth

It has actually been a fairly busy few days, so I have some catching up to do since my last post on Friday.

Saturday was Double A's 15th birthday, which just sounds crazy.  How is it possible this adorable baby is now taking driver's ed?

She was the happiest, sweetest baby, and has turned into the happiest, sweetest young woman.  I don't live with her, so I don't know for absolute sure, but she doesn't even seem to be going through a terribly horrible teenage phase.

 

She's my green girl, so here are some green (flat) shoes for her.

Saturday we also had people over to watch the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.  Eh...not my cup of tea, but the hubby enjoyed it, and we got to see a couple of people we hadn't seen in quite awhile, so that was nice.  Boxing shoes are weird, but blue for me and green for AA.

Yesterday I preached and led worship for the first time in over a year.  It went pretty well, actually.  I only made one ginormous mistake during the liturgy, and only almost fell off the step in the pulpit once (I preached with my shoes ON, how was I supposed to feel where my feet were?)  The Gospel text was from John where Jesus says, "I am the Vine, you are the branches."  So we have some really crazy grape shoes, and some slightly less crazy grape flip flops (in green, of course, for AA).

I wore new turquoise shoes that I bought with my birthday coupons at Kohl's:

They aren't this blurry in real life...

And today is May 4th, so if you're a Star Wars nerd you know that today you say, "May the Fourth be with you."  I am a Star Wars nerd, so this makes me giggle.  I love the R2D2 shoes, am a little frightened by the Darth Vader shoes, and again included some awesome green shoes for Awesome A.

So there you have.  Many themes, one post.  Time for bed.
