My Favorite Game

I have three favorite drinking games that I want to share with you. Obviously, when I say "drinking" I'm referring to water or sparkling grape juice since I'm not yet 21 (48 days--not counting or anything). First, the Bachelor/Bachelorette drinking game. Savannah helped come up with the rules for this one and they are as follows:
  1. Sip every time someone says "journey" or "amazing"
  2. Finish your drink if a contestant insists they aren't here to make friends
  3. Sip for every tear you see
  4. Gulp for every cheesy metaphor (i.e. "hiking up a mountain is like falling in love")
  5. Sip every time the main character references their previous season or relationships
  6. Sip for every rose handed out
You get the picture and probably can add your own rules. Making them specific to a season is even more fun (i.e. for Emily Maynard's season we added drinking every time she referenced her deceased fiance or her daughter).

 My all-time favorite television show is Friends. I own every single season and my collection is probably the first thing I would grab in the event of a fire. So this game has been thought out even better:
  1. Sip every time Monica cleans 
  2. Sip every time Ross gazes longingly at Rachel
  3. Sip every time they see ugly naked guy
  4. Gulp every time a character drinks at the coffee house
  5. Take a shot every time Joey says "how you doin'"
  6. Sip every time a female character forgets to wear a bra. #nips
  7. Gulp every time Phoebe sings
  8. Take a shot every time Ross talks about science/dinosaurs
  9. Finish your drink whenever Ross says "WE WERE ON A BREAK."
Finally, Tyler, Megan, and I recently invented a Phase 10 drinking game. This one is so new that it's fairly underdeveloped so I would welcome any additions!
  1. If you get skipped, you drink
  2. If you lay down your phase first, you assign a player to drink
  3. However many wilds you have in previously said phase, you drink for each one
  4. However many cards you have in your hand at the end of each round, you drink for each one

Selfies. Selfies EVERYWHERE.

judge away. Circa 11th grade Consider this an intervention. Trust me, I've had my fair share of selfies. But then I graduated high school. high school shopping swag These are some hard and fast rules of those pesky self-absorbed images: 1. Try to have another person in it. I have zero judgement for the visible arm holding out the photography device if there are two faces in the frame. Sometimes you just don't have a third person to take that perfect picture. We forgive you. 2. If a partner is unavailable then at least use a webcam and NOT a mirror. Myspace-esque photography ended at the same time as That's So Raven. And no one cares to see your current brand of toothpaste reclining on your bathroom counter.  3. Keep ALL clothes ON.  I cringe when I see those horrifyingly low slung shorts as people boast in their gym time. I'm proud of the mornings I spend running as well, but I'm not trying to plaster it across Facebook. Save it

A Penny for Your Sin

Image
I heard an analogy recently about sin that I wanted to share as a caution against judging others. I searched online for someone who could put it more eloquently than I, but my google search came up empty.  Imagine that every time you did something wrong, a penny was stacked against you. You lied, you cheated, you drank in excess. Those are pennies stacked against you. Then someone you know committed a more "grievous" sin, according to what some in the world may think. They partook in adultery or gave in to a harmful addiction. In our human minds, those sins deserve higher stacks of pennies. But in God's eyes, He looks down and just sees the fact you both have pennies stacked against you. He doesn't see the height of the stack the world sees. He only sees the one coin on top indicating your imperfection and need for redemeption that you share with the person who sinned "more."  Sin is not measured in degrees "None is righteous, no, not one.&qu

Braveheart: International Toddler Travel - Edinburgh

WOW! Hi, friends! It's been nearly 4 years, one pandemic, and almost 2 whole babies since I last wrote a blog post. I'm not quite sure where I got the audacity to spend precious time on this when I have a newborn to prep for and a 2 year old to entertain, plus a husband and a full-time job, but here we are.  A re-introduction may be in order? The Powell family is now a family of 3, officially, with number 4 on the way. Avonlea arrived in December 2021, and her brother, Truett, should make his appearance in early 2024. I wanted to blog this trip specifically for a few reasons. We were invited to a destination family wedding in Scotland this fall, which gave me all the best feels obviously! It's been almost 10 years since I went on my study abroad journey in Dundee so this was the perfect excuse to go back and visit one of the many homes of my heart. I'm really, really proud of my kid and how well she did on this adventure - she's always been our tiny traveler and thi
