One of the most difficult things about moving away from Lexington has been finding a church home. We have been to numerous churches, only to be let down. This morning was a little ray of light since I was beginning to really get down about the whole thing. We went to First Baptist church and I actually got something out of the service. Don't get me wrong, it's no Southland Christian, but it was a breath of fresh air in the seemingly dissapointing search. While the church didn't have every element that I want, the pastor actually spoke to us. Down here it seems that pastors try to get their message across with yelling and pulpit banging; I just don't do yelling. Maybe it's just the churches we've visited, or maybe it's the way here, either way I would rather go to no church at all than go to ones like that (maybe that's bad, but it's totally how I feel--I actually become angry and turned-off during services such as these). But this morning, we found the best one so far. There are so many more that I want to visit, but if all else fails it's nice to know we've found one with at least a good preacher!
When we got back from church, I took a moment to look around at our landscaping and the flowers that are coming up. It is so warm (and windy!) here right now, it just makes me crave spring. I was so excited to see the flowers budding--I just had to snap some pics (top=daffodil, bottom=hyacinths). So beautiful. So new. So fresh! I LOVE SPRING!!!

Sitting room with no furniture! I want some funky chairs, and Josh is gonna build me a bookshelf (someday...)
Master Bathroom--isn't the otoman awesome! (It wasn't so awesome when we moved in--I re-covered it; it was hideous floral to match the PURPLE)
