While Away

For those of you who don't know, I'm fixing to hop on a plane and head to London, Spain, and Rome. I'll be gone for about 40 days! Eek! Lot's of people have said they wanted to keep up, so for them I started a trip blog called Fuera, which means away. Go follow it for the time I'm gone! I'll try to keep the pictures coming. 

A Thousand Words

Well, I did it. I broke down and bought a DSLR. I've wanted one for a long time and I know I'll get good use out of it when I study abroad. From my first picture ever (of this bowl) I was hooked! The rest are a sampling from some I took in downtown Wetumpka. 

A Little of Lately

Better late than never, here's a recap of my very relaxing Memorial Day weekend! The half of my summer in the states is FLYING by! I'll be Europe bound before I know it. 

 We went to Caroline's deb ball. My first experience with Montgomery society. Haha! 

 Then off to Lake Hollybrook with my mom's entire side of the family. Love getting to spend time with cousins!

 It was such a relaxing two days. Emilyn and I did plenty of floating. 

 The Hamn's dog Layla is by far the most spoiled member of their family. 

Then off to Lake Martin for the day on Memorial Day. It felt so good to be back in this boat on this lake. There's nothing like it. 

The Heidelberg Catechism Questions 1-2

Q. Christians, what is your only comfort in life and death?
A. That I with body and soul both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, Who with His precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins and delivered me from all the power of the devil, and so preserves me, that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head. And therefore by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready henceforth to live unto Him.
Q. Christian, how many things are necessary for you to know that you, enjoying this comfort, may live and die happily?
A. Three: the first, how great my sins and miseries are; the second, how I may be delivered from all my sins and miseries; the third, how I shall express my gratitude to God for such deliverance.
