D-Town or Bust

This past weekend, the Lewis' family headed to my home town of "DeRidder, LA." We went to go visit my family and attend my sister-in-law's baby shower.
I come from a family of four, so when we are all in town, it is a little like My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It is always a little bit of insanity (FIVE grandchildren running around & one on the way), but I always really enjoy the time together.
One night while we were there, we all sat around and told the horrible stories of our junior high years.
So....I thought I would share mine....
In seventh grade, all the girls at school started pulling up their bangs while curling the bottom of their hair. Of course, I wanted this "do", but I come from a family of no hair talent. So...I went for it. I pulled back the bangs, and I scrunched my hair up the best I could without rollers. Unfortunately, I created a rat's nest.
Well...I thought I looked good, so I went to school, very proud of my hair style. As I strolled into one of my classes, one of my classmates asked me whether my hair-do was an accident or was on purpose. How mean? Needless to say, that was the last of my beautiful, puffy hair style.

More Updates

First of all, Luke has 86'ed (given up-for those who didn't wait tables) breastfeeding. I was not expecting the break up. So...there goes my eating two helpings of dinner along with two desserts. It has been a sweet time of bonding with Luke, and gluttony for me, but it is over.

Secondly, I have joined a running club. =) Not really, but I do have four women I get to run with. I make us refer to ourselves as a club just for the fun of it!

Thirdly, the Lewis/ Lagerstrom Home Group now exist. I am excited about us all doing life together. The Lord keeps showing me how to just trust Him more. A lesson sometimes I struggle with....., but He is faithful, even when I am not.

I think this is all I got.....I hope you enjoy the pictures.
