<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to the people we live with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">can often be one of the hardest tasks around?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">in The Fantastic Five household,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I decided I needed to be proactive-</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and get creative-</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and find ways to encourage between our family members.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Kindness Ninja was introduced into our home</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While the kiddos ate, I explained that this Ninja</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyone is welcome to complete an act of kindness</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">or leaving an encouraging note-</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and then leave the Ninja at the location</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have made with fellow bloggers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That makes me smile. :0)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And my little blog has become a </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Homeschool Yearbook for my family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have documented so many activities-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the good, the bad, and the ugly.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">looking at the pictures,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">giggling about how much we have all changed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am honestly not totally certain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know I will continue to occasionally post about</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">spreading Christmas joy and mischief!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now last year was a DOOZEY of a Christmas season</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">for my family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was in in a local theater production of <i>Annie</i>,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">we went to Disney World with Nana and Papa,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">three of us got the flu,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">etc., etc., etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Needless to say,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I only kept up with Chess and Jolly's adventures</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">via <a href="http://instagram.com/hockmana3">Instagram</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">BECAUSE of all the craziness of our holiday season</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">last year,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">our elf family adventures were</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">NOT</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">always pretty and perfect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Honestly- their adventures are NEVER</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">quite how I anticipate them-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">am I right?)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In fact,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">our elves like to be down right CHEEKY</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">sometimes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But that's how we roll.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And I am learning to love it-</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I want to post about our elvish fun from last year now</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">over the next six days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kinda like a countdown until the "official" kick-off</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">of the Christmas season-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ya know,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">when Santa appears at the end of the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am NOT posting about our adventure</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">to show how "perfect" our Martha Stewart holidays</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">are around here,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I took a pool noodle</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(from The Dollar Tree)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and drew a long strand of spider silk</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I then added a spider at the end,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and wrote the numbers 1-12</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">going up the spider silk.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Becoming <a href="http://woodlawnchristianchurch.org/">Woodlawn Christian Church</a>'s</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">full-time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Children's Minister!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is crazy awesome, and surreal to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have attended this church since I was</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7 months old,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and worked with either the children or youth groups</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">since I was in middle school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I LOVE this group of people-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">this FAMILY of mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And now to serve as a paid staff member?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">CRAZINESS!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am thankful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am blessed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am amazed by God's plans-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">which are somehow always different than mine,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and always so much BETTER.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">:0)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This means some changes will-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and have already-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">occur for our family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will still continue to homeschool,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but it will be more often a "check in" system</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">with the kiddos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">my parents will be more involved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am happy to have a couple of Summer months</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to work out the kinks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sadly,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will not be watching the <a href="http://thefantasticfive-hockmana.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-why-and-how-i-teach-preschool-in.html">littles</a> anymore.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I LOVED this time in my life,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but I now have to focus my energies on a larger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">group of kiddos now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">THANKFULLY all of my families</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">were able to find alternative childcare,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and I will still get to see them all occasionally.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">God takes care of all the details,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so I am trusting him to help me work out</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">all of the details in this season of our lives!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Highlights from this week:<br /><br />*Getting a kitten!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am a cat person-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and yet we have 3 BIG dogs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like the dogs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But I have wanted a kitten for a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When my "niece" Mimi told me about a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">friend of hers cat having kittens,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wanted one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Friday,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">we met and fell in love with this</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">little grey and white kitten,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">soon to be named</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thumper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He is active and loving-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">all I that wanted in a cat!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two of the dogs have adjusted fine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to this new presence,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but we are still keeping an eye</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">on our pit bull.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He hasn't done anything,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but he always walks around whining for the cat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am hopeful everyone will adjust accordingly...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*We ended May with one last party-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to honor another graduate friend of ours</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her name is Ying,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and she is our regular waitress at a local</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Japanese/China buffet</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">we frequent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We discovered her parents were not</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">throwing her a high school graduation party,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so we volunteered to do the job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was simple,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but I I think she discovered how much she means</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to our family-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and to our church family-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">since most of the guests were regulars</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">at her workplace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so grateful for the people in my church family</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and their generosity</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to the people in our community!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*Continuing to prepare for </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">VBS</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*My husband getting the LAST</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Build-a-Bear Toothless Dragon for jungle Girl</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We made the mistake of not heeding our daughter's warning</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">about how POPULAR this stuffed animal was going to be,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and missed getting him when</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">he arrived during the first shipment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This shipment of Toothless dolls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">SOLD OUT NATIONWIDE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">in less than 48 hours!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So on Wednesday we knew another shipment</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">was coming in,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and Super Dad played the role</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">of Super Hero</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and booked it over to Build-A-Bear</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">after lunch and bought</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the LAST ONE in the store.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That is CRAZY to me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Based on this experience, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">we have already bought our tickets</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">for the movie premire on June 13th-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">we would be crazy NOT to!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">...this bubbly, lovely lady.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is one of our faithful youth sponsors at church,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and we could NOT be more thrilled for her</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">upon her upcoming nuptials!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know a personal shower can go</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">really raunchy sometimes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I get it-</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">lingerie and bedroom talk and all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And I can go to a shower like that and be totally fine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But I wanted more of a focus on the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">ROMANCE</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">of the Honeymoon,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so I asked the groom-to-be</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">who his favorite Disney Princess was.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(The bride-to-be is a MAJOR Disney fan,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and they are going to Disney World</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">for their Honeymoon.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I lucked out,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is my favorite too,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">since the movie came out my Junior year</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">of High School.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Therefore,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a bit of Belle paraphernalia</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to use for the decor.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also, we decided to have the shower in the church's</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">youth house,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">which has a lovely shade of golden paint on the walls</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and red furniture accents,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">making the party's color scheme easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a little buffet table set up for the guests</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I picked this movie</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">since I knew a lot of kiddos</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">had not seen it yet,</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">is to paint the eggs with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">some glow in the dark paint.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It did not matter too much,</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="text John-19-29">put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant,</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">there is significance in why Jesus did not</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">involving the fulfillment of scripture,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
