I had a delightful and fast weekend, how about you? I finished up my last swim meet and went to the mall with my boy (he needed new shorts) Sunday was filled with church and homework. Also my boyfriend’s trampoline. I. LOVE. TRAMPOLINES. [Can ya tell I used to be a gymnast?]

How about some pictures?

pb = my life.

Bible Verse of the day: But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. Jeremiah 17:7

Favorite flavor of spring? COCONUT. This calls for a recipe!


Coconut Macaroons

1 pkg. (14 oz.)  flaked Coconut
2/3 cup  sugar
6 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp.  salt
4 egg whites
1 tsp.  almond extract
1.  Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour baking sheets and set aside.  Combine coconut, sugar, flour and salt in large bowl. Stir in he whites and almond extract until well blended.

2. Drop coconut mixture into mounds, 2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets, using about 1 tablespoonful of the coconut mixture for each mound. (This should make A LOT of mounds, btw!)

3. Bake 20 min. or until edges are golden brown. Immediately remove from baking sheets to wire racks. ENJOY!

What is YOUR favorite spring flavor?

Up up and away!

Tomorrow is the big day: AKA flying to FL with Jimmy!

We leave Pittsburgh at 11:14AM and arrive in Atlanta around 1PM then head to Tampa at 3:25 and get there around 5:45, I believe.

I’m hoping for no delays or crazy luggage loss (this HAS happened to me before…) but I take everything as it comes, it is an adventure!

Today I was at a swim meet BRIGHT and early. (Already warmed up before 8:00AM…) I swam 3 events and didn’t get great times BUT I felt good in the water and my technique was good. I’ll take it!

My madre and I went (Thanks mommy!)

Today I mostly packed and I also bought some new MUCH NEEDED running shoes 😀

what brand of running shoes do you use?


Tonight Jim and I are going ice skating and then of we go tomorrow morning. I’ll try to be posting pictures and giving updates.. but if not, see ya sometime next week!!

I am still so afraid to fly!!!!!
