LUNAR LOVIN' HOP
Hosted by the lovely Mina Lobo, from Some Dark Romantic.
Instructions: take a picture of the moon on Jan. 27, then post the pic on the 28th.
It rained last night so the clouds covered the moon. But I have two pics taken two hours apart. No moon, of course, but I thought they were pretty cool pics so I thought I'd share anyway. The second one shows raindrops, but to me they look like stars.
RE-INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Hello! I'm Jackie, Jack, or Jax. I'm married to Leo, and we have 4 boys - 15, 12, 10, and 6. They keep us busy with school and sports, but I wouldn't change a thing.
Fun Facts! I figured I’d throw out some random things that most don't know about me.
*Writing... here and there in junior high, but heavily in high school, mostly dark and sad poetry as well as
short stories. While some of my fellow classmates made fun of me for my topic choices, my
creative writing teacher encouraged me and told me I had a gift. Of course,
being a teen, I didn’t listen and put my writing on the back burner for awhile.
*Musical instruments... alto saxophone and piano. I was in varsity band and marching
band. If I were to pick up the saxophone now, I don’t think I could play it, but the
piano? It’s like riding a bike. My parents still have our family piano at
their place, and playing it still calms my nerves, even though I'm not very good.
*Singing... I sang in the church choir and participated in concerts and musicals. I
grew up on stage which is funny considering I’m still extremely shy.
Before every performance, I’d either break out in hives or get dry heaves. LOL
Oh, dear, my poor friends. They talked me through it every time to which I was
extremely grateful.
Hmm... I do the hives/dry heave thing when it comes to my writing, too.

*Bible Bowl. Every year, we’d study a book from the Bible until it was ingrained in
us. Then, we’d travel and compete against other teams. I met some very cool
people on this journey and made some awesome memories.
