Mustache March was born out of tradition Aaron & his buddies began in college. You see, as Furry February came to a close they thought there would be no better way to celebrate that than to sport a mustachio for a week or two.
Who knows if any of the original "gang" are still walking around looking half normal/half molester for the first 14 days of March.
You can be sure Aaron will carry on this tradition for as long as he has facial hair. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
Aaron with our friend Robert. We met Robert at Mosaic Community Development. He lives in the Park Avenue Neighborhood, less than a mile from our house, so we give him a ride home every Monday night after dinner. He and Aaron have really hit it off!
I have to say, I was present for the inauguration of the 'stache and it was quite a process.
Truth be told, Aaron had set out for a "trim". Just trimming his beard. A few snips later and his beard trimmer didn't know what hit 'em.
Thus...mustache march had begun!
It took Aaron a little bit to realize his beard was no more. I enjoyed several good, long fits of laughter over the whole situation and in the end we managed to snap a photo after it was all said and done. All smiles here!
Hope you enjoy!

Last night we had home community at our house.
We are so blessed to have a large group, but that means some peeps end up going upstairs while other stay downstairs. Well...the group that goes upstairs played a little trick on us.
You see, in the loft (the room where the group meets) I have a decorative tray filled with river rocks.
And I went into loft to turn off my computer and such and notice - RIGHT AWAY - no rocks.
THE BED.
I got a huge grin right away as I set off to figure out where in the world the stashed this PILE of rocks...
Under the cushions? No.
In the shower? No.
In the Catch Phrase box? No.
Hm. "Where would I put rocks if I wanted to play an awesome joke..."
THE BED.
I pulled back the cover -- and nothing. Reached out to run my hand over the sheet and --SURE ENOUGH. There were the rocks. All of 'em. Delicately strewn between the sheets from one side of the bed to the other.
I immediatly got on Twitter and updated ("rocks in my bed! very funny!!!!!") knowing that one of the culprits would recieve my update and proceed to inform the rest of the culprits (who were all together at the Upstream) that they had been found out.
The response, and I quote: "all of Upstream just cheered!!!" Thanks guys for a great laugh and for a great night's sleep on new sheets :)
HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!

24 Today.
The morning started with a special tradition -- "princess pancakes" as they were called at our house. Aaron went above and beyond and had the whole spread waiting for me this morning.
And then...who doesn't love a little pink box? And ROSES! They are so beautiful!
Aaron also gave me some money to go shopping today. I'm thinking Urban Outfitters.
I'm so blessed. The best part? Aaron's getting out of school early today so we can be together! That's the best!
Thank you all for the birthday wishes~I love you!

A couple weeks ago Aaron and Brad started two home brews for the upcoming Protestant Fish Fry on March 27th. Last night things got even more exciting as Aaron and Brad started to bottle the beer, which I might add, tasted grrreat!
Brad was filling the bottles.
Aaron was clamping the caps on each bottle ...
... and placing the bottles in the case.
You should note that if you come to the fish fry for nothing else but to try the home brew I don't think you'll be disappointed! We hope you can make it and bring some friends.
We'll be charging a couple bucks at the door to cover some expenses and I'll update you more on that soon!

Here's a little peek at what my side of the room looked like today.
Laundry + "I lost my extension cord and my closet is dark" + "I'll do it later" = ridiculous mess!
Thanks to Aaron we documented the fact that progress was made.
See, all clean :)
We had a good one.
Friday night: wedding. Congrats David & Cari Cloyed!
Saturday morning: breakfast in bed
Saturday night: singer-songwriter concerts at Scooters with friends.
Way to go T-Dub!
Afterward...best foreign film anyone? We watched The Lives of Others.
And this morning was church at Core Community. We're talking about marriage and the sermon was S-O good. I'm going to include a separate post because I have much to share. Oh, you can listen here. now for another week :) Happy March to you all!
