[one twenty three]

Snow beneath whose chilly softness
Some that never lay
Make their first Repose this Winter

We so new bestow

Had an amazing time in Kansas City. Seriously. We went to the marriage conference which was incredible. REALLY good. And while there we got to see some old friends! It was really nice.

Then after we were done playing King Frog, Justin suggested that we have a contest to see who could howl the longest. So we did. Karie won =) That girl's got some lungs! And THEN the

Of course, Bre won like we all said she would =) but now my shoulders are sore.. and I could do like five today. =P On Sunday we went to two Ken Ham talks and also one by another guy. They were really good as well. I had the awesome idea of painting our toenails like ^so. I love it =) I used a toothpick rather than the brush to stick it on. Which was Alyssa's brilliant idea. We watched home videos of Bre and Lyss... *dies from all the cuteness* haha. Anyway, to wrap up, we had the most
