Here is a little slideshow shoping you just how much fun we had on our private island in the keys this Thanksgiving. One of the things I was really thankful for this Thanksgiving - my bubba. Without my bubba, my family wouldn't have had such a great vacation. :)
Thanks B! :) rove roo!

Easter Weekend and Great Falls, VA

This Easter, my parents came to Northern Va to visit my brothers and me. It was the first time (since I leaving for college) that I haven't been home for Easter. I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't going to go home for the holiday, but things turned out GREAT. We really really really had a great time together. We ate (lots of cheese) and had a good time together. Joe (our cousin) came and hung out with us too. Joe is a recent transplant to NOVA. Now that he is here for a while, expect to see him a lot more in photos! :)

This is my mom playing Nintendo Wii. If you haven't tried the Wii, I highly reccomend it! This picture shows my mom (Wii-mote in hand) playing a car racing game. Her car spent more time trying to off road than it did on the track. It was pretty hilarious trying to watch her play. Our jokes stopped when she bowled (another game for the Wii) like a professional!! She beat us all!!!

We went to church on Saturday night, so Sunday morning (Easter am) we decided to take a road trip. After much discussion, we decided to check out Great Falls (in retrospect I can't believe we even entertained the idea of going to the circus!!!!!!! haha) Great Falls is soooo pretty. It is probably one of my favorite places in VA. It was a little chilly, but all in all a nice trip.

Here is the fam at the main overlook to the falls!

I'm teaching a Macro Photography class at my church next week, so I was going crazy taking some stock pictures to use in my presentation. This is one of them.
