happenings...

it's been pretty boring down here in jackson. dad is gone all this week and then has friends coming down for a fishing extravaganza. hopefully he brings home enough to stock up for the lenten season.

this past weekend i became a Godmother to my nephew, nolan. i feel so honored to be chosen to be a guidance to him in his faith. he's so precious and smiley :)

{after the baptism, hey cuz!}

by the end of this week, mitch carved out a bit of time to get to the bank. then we'll know whether or not we can actually afford a house. if we don't build a house on this land, we've got a couple of other options we're keeping open. at this point, all i can think to do is pray that everything just works out...and it usually does.

we have a new sparkling blanket of snow, which we didn't need, but at least it makes it all pretty again. summer, please come soon! the ground hog says: 6 MORE weeks of winter :P ick!!!

here are a few pictures from the past weeks:
