Waco

This weekend, we went to Waco, TX to help at a DCYC youth conference. Everything went great and we had a quick break so we decided to go see this awesome bridge that was right next to the conference center. Here's some photos we took...

The suspension bridge.

DC

So, this time of year brings preparation for the annual trip to Washington DC for the March for Life. For those who don't know, the March for Life is an annual pro-life march in DC, marking the day that Roe v Wade was passed back in 1973. It's a very peaceful protest and you'll see people of all ages, races, and religions there to stand up for the gift of life. This year, it occurs right after Obama's inaguration, so the streets will probably be packed. It will definitely be interesting to see how it all turns out!

There's a group that's gone from the Dallas-Fort Worth area for several years now. This will be my 3rd year to attend with this group. Every year has been eventful, but last year has topped them all, because it's when Jason proposed (awww). To make a long story short, there's a HUGE basilica there in DC where we designated a 'special spot' that we go to each time we're there. In 2008, when we went to this spot, Jason popped the question and the rest is history.

Here's a photo of the engagement...

new year, new blog

Hello everyone! Hope yall had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

So, after being inspired by a blogging friend (thanks Lauren), I figured what better time to start one than when starting a new year?

I'm hoping to keep in better contact with friends and family, and this seems like a fun and easy way to do so, especially with those who are farther away. With so many things happening in life, this should be a good way for people to stay updated on what's going on in the new Spoolstra family.

So, look forward to stories and photos! : )

God bless+
