A Thousand Years

Day 2 and I am writing my second post...wow! I'm super impressed with myself. So I just got off Facebook, where my mom posted a few pictures of Peep crafts. So now I have to explain about my family's mild obsession with Peeps.
My aunt hates Peeps. I don't know why, I think she just doesn't like marshmallows, maybe...? Whatev. She also doesn't like Jello because it moves. You decide if this is odd or not. I'm not sure how this started, but a few years ago at Easter, my family started this tradition where our Easter entertainment is blowing up Peeps in the microwave. This sounds so lame, but my family gets seriously excited. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I get excited as well. Nobody ever eats the blown-up Peep (except sometimes my husband does because he LOOOVES Peeps), so we basically waste a pack of Peeps. I know, we are a weird family. And I don't care. I love my weird family. Anyhow, so I have been pinning stuff on Pinterest in preparation to give my Aunt the ultimate Easter gift. I have decided to make her a Peep flower vase, complete with flowers.
Oh my gosh, I am so excited to make this beauty!! I'm considering making one for everyone, but only putting Peeps in my Aunt's. This is a weird thing to get excited about, but oh well :) I will have to let you know how it goes! I probably won't do these colors but I'm still stoked!
I think that's enough for today. Until we speak again...!

P.S. This post is called A Thousand Years because that song was playing on Pandora when I couldn't think of a title....no other significance :)

Welcome to "From the Heart of..."

Hey ya'll! This is a little weird...especially for me! This is my first blog, and I'm not really sure what I'm doing. If you have any suggestions, please, let me know! So I guess I will start off with telling a little about me? Let's go!
My name is Sarah, which translates into "PRINCESS," for those of you who were wondering :) I am a twenty-something year old with a big heart and a lot of patience. On October 6 I married my best friend in the whole world, Eric :) we started dating my freshman year of college, his sophomore year. He is an RN and works at the local hospital and is seriously amazing. We laugh together, cry together, and yell together, but most of all, we love together.
I am the youngest child of 3; I have an older brother and an older sister. My brother is a paramedic and my sister works at a factory. We were never really close growing up (my sister is 11 years older than me and my brother is 3 years older than me), but I feel like we've gotten closer now that we have all grown up. My parents are amazing people. They live at home with our family dog, Hanns. My dad is a farmer and my mom is a farmer's wife, but they do much more than that. My dad is also the township trustee for their little rural township, serves on the county plan commission, is on an insurance company's board, and is actively involved in an antique tractor club. My mom is involved in Indiana Extension Homemakers, both at the county and state level. This coming July, she will become the state vice president.
I think that's it for now. Not too much about me, but that come later ;) thanks ya'll!
