Gramma Grace

a few weeks ago, mum, rach, and i watched dad plant a new hydrangea bush with my dad's mum's ashes. when we visited them in England 3 years ago, she used to always love the hydrangea bushes at the home they stayed, and made sure to always point out how beautiful they were.

we'll miss you Gramma! i'm glad a piece of you is with us, always.

PostSecret Blog!

at our youth retreat in April, Diane used some PostSecret material relating to her topic. it's pretty interesting the things people send in. i was excited to see that PostSecret is on blogger - totes easier way to check out some of the crazy things that people send in. some...are very disturbing and sad. others are kinda funny. these are some of my favorites:

[this is funny]

[this is beautiful...]

in other interesting "news"...i'm staying at my aunt & uncles for a few days. that's always fun...much closer to work and church...pretty much everything that i do, really. also, i was super excited to see some of these in the fridge:

i found a whole bunch of yummy english chocolates at EnglishTeaStore.com...just brings back those great memories of being in the motherland...ooo Cadbury Buttons...so awesome. Cadbury is pretty much awesome, and they own Trident?! that's nuts. i had no clue!! they also have Green & Black - organic chocolate - and Halls! who knew.
