ash wednesday and a surprise shower!

so yesterday was different in several ways....first of all i guess i did not realize it was ash wednesday....Catholicism is HUGE here and i should have known. my first clue was at the doc's office..one of the nurses had the ashes on her forehead and i thought it was a bruise or she burned herself with the curling iron. i almost asked what happened and i'm so glad i didn't!!! then i kept seeing people all over town with the ashes...out to lunch, at the coffee shop, etc. it was just really really different for me.

so last night asah kept asking if i was going to small group. i really really didn't feel up to it and staying home on the couch sounded MUCH better, but he kept insisting i go. i was getting a little irritated because i thought to myself, doesn't he understand how tired i am after working all day and can't i just skip tonight??? WELL, i'm glad i didn't because our middle school girls small group had planned a surprise shower for us! so cute! they had blue and white streamers everywhere and lots of yummy snacks. jordan got some nice things and i was very surprised! then i felt bad for being upset at asah for making me go...oh, well!

well it's time for me to get to work...just wanted to update on yesterday's eventful day,
