Home, Home on the Range! Memorial Day Style!

Friday night I went home for the much anticipated 3 day Memorial Day Weekend break! It was FABULOUS! I was sooooo happy to see this house as I turned in! The square part of the house is what the core was, my parents actually bought and moved the house when my Mom was expecting me. They moved it to this location and then over the years Dad has majorly built on. Off to the far right side is their bedroom that he added and behind the core is the family room, dining room and new tv room. Its a really big house when you see all of it. Which I love. Enables us to not be on top of eachother all the time :)
 When I arrived Friday night my trees greeted me! For the first time in almost 7 days it wasn't raining. Unfortunately this did not last long. I was really hoping to be able to sit out on the deck and read but alas that was not meant to be. So Instead I sat on their fabulous couch and read two books in two days! It was GREAT! I love to read!


The farm. The cows weren't close to the fence and it was drizzling and cold so I wasn't going to chase after them. I have this major pet peeve of people saying they are "Country" when they were raised in town and haven't met a manure pile in their entire lives. DRIVES ME NUTS! I may not be the most countrified girl, but I grew up on a farm, I can sniff out 5+ kinds of manure and identify them in 1-2 sniffs, I have baled hay- which i would like to forget! and have always had my own cow. So please people, Don't say you're "Country" when you've never lived on a farm.


I took this for April its a field of wildflowers aka weeds, that the farmer will likely soon be getting rid of. but its pretty!!


And here we are Sunday afternoon. More rain. We actually had a tornado warning but thankfully it didn't come near us.


These are the only pictures I took all weekend because I did not do my hair or makeup or really get dressed in normal non lounging clothes for the whole three days. It was FABULOUS!!!!! I slept in each day, took a nap each day, had yummy salads and burgers on the grill, oh it was GREAT!! And with Dad being incompacitated with his ankle we all just kind of chilled out and that was really nice. My parents work so hard and are always on the go it was nice to just relax and spend some quiet time with them. I actually left feeling refreshed and ready to take on the week!

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

Life in Phone Pics

 Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact that my new phone takes so much better pictures than my old one?! I have been using my phone for almost all of my pics! And bonus, no purple hair! Above is a new dessert I made. A Smores Cookie Bar. It was yummy. I had some and then realized I would eat the entire thing if I kept it. So I gave 90% of it away to my students. This just cracked me up. Last weekend when I was elevating my feet I obviously had the lights off and yet my toes were so neon pink that you could still see them in the darkness!  My toes weren't the only thing pink on my body. My sunburn was of an epic proportion. now it has started to peel. Everywhere. Even my arms. yuck. I'll spare you from that! Oh well, at least my hair looked cute here!  Yes, I am really showing you a picture of my cabinet. Last night I decided to totally move all but one of my cabinets. Erm. or rather the insides of them. My dishes and glasses used to be in th...
