St. Louis Pre-Project Visit
Check out my sweet ride for this year's pre-project visit:
Yes..... I drove this hoss on the interstate in the RAIN with 15 adults in the backseat. It was not my finest hour, but no one died, so I guess we'll deem it a success.
Here we are at the famous Ted Drewes custard shop. They hand you your ice cream upside down and none of it falls out. I think Bop's is just as great.
Here we all are at the meeting of the minds... church planters meet with the group leaders.
Noah and I were laughing at how much has changed since our first project three years ago. We had ONE group leader show up. This year we had 22 people, not counting the church planters.
Power Plant St. Louis is June 20-24. Keep it on your prayer list!

What's a Weekend without a Wedding?
Continuing our wedding travels this season...... the marriage of Cara to Charles, both friends of Caleb from High School. The ceremony was held outside at a Farm at the top of a bluff. All of this equals amazing wedding venue. Here's our view from the back row (and I had zoomed my camera all the way in):
We didn't see any of the ceremony, but I think you get the idea from the picture. It was such a perfect place to get married! I loved it. Another thing I thought was particularly touching was that their Dads married them. I guess they got their license to have the "power vested" in them, but it was really neat.
Here are our wedding buddies Tyler and Arielle. Caleb asked an 8 year old girl to take our picture so please excuse the full body shot.
After the wedding, the four of us were wanting to do something fun, but since we're old we're not really sure what that is anymore. We attempted to see a movie but nothing looked good, then Arielle thought of the perfect place and voila it even had a cheese sampler on the menu. Hanging out success!


Yum. We had the best time hanging out with the Harneys and their loveable yet slightly possessed cat.
Next stop: St. Louis, I'm posting from there now. Then Easter and then we continue our weekly wedding festivities with Bailey's Beach Bachelorette Weekend. Stay Tuned.

Everybody Loves Bailey
Caleb and I drove to Brandon again this past weekend for bridal showers galore honoring my cousin Bailey and her future Hubs, John. Please look at all the Hostesses for just ONE of her showers....
The house where the shower was held used to be home to several peacocks. Ms. Roberts still had their feathers as decorations all over the house- I thought that was really neat.

Here we are gathering to open all the beautiful gifts...
Every time 50 presents were opened, we did the "50 Gift Dance Stretch." We were able to do this Dance Stretch several times!

Prom, 5K, Painting... it was a weekend.
And in case you are thinking how spinster-y I look in the picture above, take a walk down memory lane of what I wore to MY Prom:
Caleb and I left Prom early, around 10: 45 before things got too crazy. We were scarred forever by the "dancing" we witnessed last year. Plus, Caleb had signed us up to help staff a 5K across the Bay Saturday morning. Here we are bright and early in Point Clear at 7am:
In other news, as mentioned in the previous post, this month is dedicated to goat cheese. Last night I made the pizza I wrote about and thought I would share a quick pic. It was really good, and I was surprised to hear Caleb liked it too since it's kind of froo froo.

Cheese of the Month for APRIL
I went on a goat cheese kick two years ago and when I was at the grocery store picking out this month's cheese I knew had to go back to an old fave. I love goat cheese so much and you should too. After the brie debacle, I needed a safe bet. Oh and I still have basically the entire wheel of brie left over which I will be making a dish with soon, so this month is going to be super cheesy.
My go to goat cheese dish is Shrimp Pesto Pizza and it is really easy:
**on your crust, spread pesto then top with cooked shrimp, goat cheese, red peppers, and romas. It's amazing and you look like quite the gourmet chef**
Other recipes from around the web to try:
Crepes with Vegetables and Goat Cheese
Goat Cheese and Mango Quesadillas
Souffled Frittata with Leeks, Tomato, and Goat Cheese
Happy Goat Cheese Eating! Be sure to leave your own goat cheese recipe in the comment section.
