J Times Four: "Spring Break '12"

I pray to God and thank him for my blessings. Blessings come in different forms and this week was no different. We packed up and enjoyed a week away from home to go visit my "other" sister, Brook and my younger sister, Alexi. Joey had a meeting in Dallas for the week so I immediately thought of an opportunity to go see Brook and the crew. She so kindly offered to add three to her family for the week. So you can imagine how a week with five kids under one roof went...AMAZING!!!

I love that Jordan and Beck are so close in age. They loved playing together. They spent most of the time lining up cars and debating on who did what first, typical 2 year old boy stuff. I enjoy watching these two interact and seeing them grow together. I hope for many more memories from these two buddies!

Thanks Brook for an amazing time and tell J thank you for the wonderful food. We thank God for blessing us with The Alcorn family. Love you like family guys!

The second part of our trip was in Abilene where Alexi is attending college at Abilene Christian University. Alexi and I went to the midnight premiere of the Hunger Games. What an experience and memory we will cherish. Nothing like being back on the college scene, to make you appreciate your past and present. We waited hours before the movie playing games with her two good friends Julie and Cara. Thanks for including an "old girl" like me. The next morning we went to worship/praise at ACU with Alexi. It was an experience to witness college students, community, faculty, alumni and family come together to worship and praise our God. It is one of Alexi's favs of ACU and am glad we could experience this with her. We visited the local zoo, Fort imagination, and enjoyed eating out-(we don't do it very often).

Thanks Alexi for an amazing blast from the past back in college. We enjoyed every moment and I am so blessed to have you as a sister! Love you!
