Ryan and I have struggled this week with the waiting game. While we were on our getaway for our anniversary, we heard that the people that looked at our Marion house last weekend are not going to buy it. Then we learned that the sale on the Greentown house was still in question. It was so discouraging!!! We took an evening at our hotel and just prayed for help and wisdom. Later that evening - my brother-in-law shared this blog post on waiting - so timely. Choosing to trust.

Don't know how many of you are Sound of Music fans {I sure am!!!}, but one of my friends posted this list of random trivia from the original movie...FASCINATING. Check it out!!

For my sister, as promised, the book Mom gave us for our anniversary. It's called Devotions for the Beach...and Days You Wish You Were There. We started reading it on our anniversary trip and have really enjoyed it so far! Great pictures inside, too!!

You all know I'm a HUGE Little House fan...and I've visited {as a child} a fair number of the actual locations of Laura Ingalls Wilder's homes...but I loved this list that puts them all in one place. So if you need a Little House inspired vacation...here you go!
Five.
In case you've missed random videos from Shafferland...here's a little montage from our recent trip. Hope you ENJOY!!!!

All of that info about Christopher Plummer bums me out! He's one of my favorites!
Mine too! I had such a crush on him!! I had heard he wasn't quite as into it at the rest, but I hadn't heard all this stuff.
omgoshhhh! your video is so stinking CUTE.
and now, after you write your book, you shall make a movie. ok? ok.

XOXO
That trivia was fascinating! And that's not what I thought you got for your anniversary.
Oh Polly - you are so cute! I did do some acting yesterday. It was actually pretty much just flat out LYING, but I prefer to call it acting. We had a surprise party for my mother-in-law, which required it... :)
Lori - Well what in the world did you think we got?? I'm so curious now!!
That Sound Of Music trivia was so interesting.
Here's a fact for you: When I was growing up I thought the wedding scene was the last scene in the movie because it always went to commercial break and my parents would send me to bed. I later found out there was more to the movie and was SHOCKED!!! It turns out my parents thought a) the movie was too long for me to watch the whole thing and b) the later scenes were too scary for me to watch.
And now, I do the same thing to Sam! Some family traditions continue :) Ha ha ha!
Also, Dave had never seen The Sound Of Music until we started dating and I forced him to watch it. Again, I was shocked!
