Ash Wednesday and Lent.

By Katherine @pbrunnerblog
For those of you who celebrate Lent, you know that last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. It finally got cool in our little corner of south Texas.
It was really a lovely day at school. I know this sounds bad, but I loved how dark and gloomy it was. It fit the Lenten mood and looked just beautiful to me!
This is my school's courtyard. I think it's so beautiful. Getting to walk to each class outside through this is one of those little things that I really value.

I got ashes on my forehead! Can you tell it's a cross? Apparently I had one of the prettier crosses on my forehead! Oh my, but it's the meaning that counts!

I had a little Ash Wednesday photo shoot via Snapchat to let my brother know what was going on. Mainly I was giving him the big reveal and telling him what I decided to give up for Lent.
And
I decided...
dun dun dun dun
to give up peanut butter.

Yes, this is my shocked face. Yes, I don't know how I'll manage. Yes, I must be crazy. Yes, I will do this. No, I don't need any of that below.

So, I hope everyone had a wonderful start to their Lenten season, and if you're thinking about it, send positive vibes to my non peanut butter eating self.
Oh, and Harrison is giving up pizza! A college boy giving up a survival food, so he may need the positive vibes more than me!
