"Welcome to the 90's, Mr. Banks"

If you know where I got the name of my title from, then mad props...if not, it's at the end of this blog!  :)

In honor of being inspired by my friend, Nicole McKenzie, I have decided to post a quick blog, even though it's not really about anything! :)

The reason for my title is because I just signed up for a twitter account. I know it wasn't made in the 90's, but I feel like I'm just now joining after people have been using it forever...plus, I don't even have a smart phone! The main reason I got it is because my church sends out alot of links and info via twitter and because alot of the musicians I follow post new tour dates............ but since I never remember to check on their sites, I figured twitter would be benificial.

I know, I know....I totally chose the grandma reason to get twitter, but I think eventually I'll get into the swing of things and use it just for funsies! :)

It's a little discouraging to only have 2 followers, so if you want to follow me my username is cc_holmes, and my password....oh wait, I don't think I'm supposed to tell you that part!! ;)

Leave your twitter name and I'll follow you too!!

Fast forward to 3:30 and enjoy!

Wild Waxahachie!

It's Thursday night in Waxahachie,TX. Zoe, Micah, Britt, and me have just finished our delicious 60cent wings from Bdubs. I whip up a batch of Pumpkin Bread and instead of having a game night, our friends decide they want to work on the puzzle that Britt and I started the day before.  The border is completed on this 550 piece puzzle, and we all dig in to finish the rest. Little did we realize how quickly the hours have passed. It's now 1am and we've finally finished this incredibly ridiculous puzzle..... Britt got to put the last piece in because he went into Beast-Mode and finished a huge (and very difficult) section in no time!! The following events are just as epic as they seem.......

(props to Micah Bell for making the video)




Since we were all exhausted the next morning, I don't think any of us made it to class. (WORTH IT!)
I got off work around 1pm (Britt was off work too-yay!!) and we met up with Zoe and Micah again to go watch the Homecoming parade. It came down the street we live on, so we just walked outside (holding plastic Wal-Mart bags in hopes of catching any candy being thrown from the massive floats, of course). Here's a quick video of what we saw....although, not as epic as the puzzle video ;)

After the parade we all decided to walk downtown in search of an ice-cold soda. Most places were packed, but then we found a neat little coffee house that sold old-school sodas in glass bottles-SCORE! The coffee house was in the old Roger's Hotel, and since we had time to kill....we went exploring. We found an abandoned, emptied out billiard room/bar....and a haunted (maybe not haunted-but it was definitely spooky) elevator...it was the old school kind where they look like a cage inside.

We were feeling VERY adventurous so we started making our way to the top of the building....wondering if there was access to the roof. We climbed the 4 flights of steps and before we knew it, we were looking at an old rickety door that DEFINITELY led outside. I opened it and was greeted by the wonderful breeze that can only be felt from 4 stories high. We had found our way to the roof and it was WAY easier than we thought it would be! It was awesome...check it out! (That's the city courthouse behind us)

 Great day. Great friends. Great memories. :)

Psalm 63:3

Thoughts:

1) I love my husband so much and I can't believe how powerfully our marriage speaks of Christ's love. We are best friends, we know our biblical roles and we live them out daily. I am so thankful for Britt and everything that he is/does for us. More importantly, I am grateful for the God-given friendship that blossomed into a beautiful love for one another. (Thank you God for your love and goodness.)

2) We live simply. Thank you Lord for your provision.

3) Someday I would like to have a cute, cuddly dog. Britt wants a Boxer, so let's hope they can be cute and cuddly.   :-)

4) In all the craziness that exists in the World, somehow we managed to get some pretty great friends, role models, and family that truly love us.  Thank you Lord for meaningful relationships.

5) Three years ago I moved to Texas with little money, no friends, and no clue what God had brought me here for. Here I am with a good job, and incredible husband, and a beautiful church. Three things that I had no clue I would be a part of. Thank you God for allowing me to trust you.

There's been alot on my mind. School is coming to an end. Life is moving forward, and time is precious. Much has happened in the past few years, but looking back is such a testimony to my life. God is so great and even though there may be times when doubt or fear creeps in, He is still constant and faithful to us...more faithful than we ever are to Him. 

Psalm 63:3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
