This week's Raw(e) theme is red. I didn't have trouble getting pictures...on the contrary, I got so many photos that had red in them. My main problem was deciding which one to post.

Finally I decided on this one...

I think I could eat strawberries all day.

I would love to see your Raw(e) picture! If you would like to submit a photo, go here to link up...if you would like to learn more about how Raw(e) works, go here to the very first "edition".

I'm not so great at explaining things with words, so I'm going to show you pictures from the things we did instead ;)

On Saturday, our friends the Hintzes came over for a few hours. We hung out and then headed over to a local park.
Apparently it was prom night for a local high school...it was crazy as everyone was trying to get pictures. One lady shouted "Gentlemen, help your dates!" as they were all having trouble on the rock steps with high heels. I found that quite hilarious.

After church on Sunday afternoon we headed to another park.

How was your weekend?

I got tagged by Moriah for the Stylish Blogger Award...thanks Moriah!

The rules are to post five random things about yourself and then tag five people.

1. I speak fluent German (My mom is German and my dad grew up in Germany...so pretty much all our family lives there and most of them don't know very much English).

2. I'm not very tall - I'm maybe 5"2 or 3. Even though my grandfather on my dad's side was 6"4, I guess the short people overpowered the tall people... ;)

3. I moved for the first time when I was almost nine..since then I have moved twice.

4. It is my absolute dream to go to Paris. Hopefully my mom and I will get to go when we go to Germany this September. I'm already going crazy thinking of all the pictures I can take....

5. Math and science are not my strong subjects. At all.

I don't know how I can pick only five people, so I'm tagging everyone who has ever been to Texas (I told you I'm still a Texan at heart! :)).

What are some of your favorite Etsy finds?

We have some friends coming over in a little bit, so I'm signing off for the rest of the day.

Have a wonderful Saturday!
