Attention all girls! A special event created just for you is coming your way. Mark February 22-23 on your calendar and start storing up your zzz's now.

 Be Mine is a girl's retreat and slumber party that will help you answer the question, "Who am I?" For the Christian girl, that question is answered with another one - "Who's am I?" We will be looking at different areas of life like guys, future, self-image, and relationships and discover what God has to say on each of these topics. In addition, there will be food, fun, games, movies, and special surprises. You won't want to miss it!

Tickets are $10 and will get you an rockin' t-shirt.

A very momentous occasion has just been celebrated by sugar addicts everywhere - National Pie Day. This day was to be enjoyed on January 23rd. Sadly, I was not able to celebrate with a slice of apple, pecan, or pumpkin pie. I was in Houston, sitting in waiting rooms and drinking barium - something I do not recommend. I find it fitting that NPD was commemorated just 2 days after MLK Day, because I have a dream, a dream that we all eat pie, not just on National Pie Day, but every day. That's what I call equality. Not to be totally cut out of dessert palooza, I did make and enjoy a chocolate chip pie for my cousin Hannah's 18th birthday. Even though I was 24 hr. late, it was still wonderful. And for those of you who never knew that a pie could be made of something besides pumpkin, here is the recipe below. Enjoy!

Hannah's Favorite Chocolate Chip Pie

8 oz. chocolate chips
1/2 C. flour
1 C. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 stick butter, melted
