Throwback Monday

Yesterday I took a three hour nap. THREE HOURS! Oh my word. It was so glorious. It's also my last chance to nap on Sunday for a while, so I didn't feel guilty about it. I viewed it as an hour for today and an hour for each of the next two Sundays, too! (Seriously, come to me if you need anything rationalized. I'm pretty good at it.)

Anyway! Three hour nap = glorious, but three hour nap also = boring to blog about. So today I thought I would do something I've not done in a while! A blog throwback! Looking back over this date (or pretty near to it) from the years I've been blogging to see what I was up to on that day. Kind of a manual Time Hop of sorts! I'm also eager to revisit a plethora of hairstyles. That's always fun.

So without further ado...

2007: I did not blog on this day that year, but two days earlier, I'd blogged about hosting a movie night a church. I remember that night! I was the women's ministry director at church and we had a movie night for the ladies. Pretty sure we watched One Night with the King (a movie about Queen Esther) and the focus of the post was my success in running the big popcorn maker!

2008: Oh how fun! This was right after I'd starting having game nights with my high school buddies (which are still happening, by the way) and I'd spent an evening losing more rounds of games! I don't think I realized we'd been having game nights for this many years! This post also featured that year's Easter dress and my sock tan line from the year before that. Oh, Bekah.

2009: I went to meet my friend's new baby, and of course my visit took place after a visit to the gym and a meltdown. So I continue to admonish you to look at the baby! Fun fact: this sweet girl's mom and I are still friends, and I have watched her blossom into a lovely young lady.

2010: No pictures from this post, but this really is a classic Bekah story. This was the year the power cord to my laptop died, and I had to order a new one from the manufacturer. It took over a week for it to arrive, and I felt cut off from the land of the living. I soooooooooooo remember this! Shiver! (I also noted how much times have changed in the last eight years, because clearly I did not have a smart phone at the time of this post. The computer was my only link to the web!)

2011: On this day I was in the middle of recapping my first ever trip to Florida! My friend Ronda had invited me to go along with her (and her daughter and two grandsons) to Florida for spring break, and it was SUCH a fun trip! This particular day had some rain involved, but we didn't let it stop us from having fun! And my first beach weeds picture. :)

2012: Sometimes I have actual spiritual depth in my posts, and this day was one such day. I had learned an important lesson from a text I'd received from a fire-fighting friend, and I shared what God taught me. If you're going through a fire-of-life right now, you should probably read this one. Sorry...no pictures!

2013: The year I was utterly baffled by what was going on in the land of fashion. I still sometimes feel this pain. I will probably feel it a lot this week because guess who doesn't have an Easter dress yet?

2014: I was in the middle of a blog series of alphabetical Bible verse studies, and this particular day focused on the letter G. If you need a devo for your day, check it out!

2015: Another blog series! I wrote about some people who had made an impact on my life, and this day featured a random man I didn't even know. I encountered him during a Burger King lunch, but his words about his wife left a lasting impression. (And there's a little tribute to my own husband at the end!)

2016: Some of the first glimpses I gave you of our new home - from the very first day we stepped inside the door as its owners! Two years ago now! How exciting!!!

2017: And that brings us to last year! We had a day with our Pheebs, and it was (of course) much fun! Love that girl! I think we need another day with her soon!

So there you have it! A throwback to various March days much like this one! Hope you had fun! :)
