Other happenings..

Brace yourself for a hodgepodge of pics of the last few weeks! This is what happens when I don't blog as often as I should!
 A few weeks ago it was Sweet Sydney's 16'th Birthday! I had a present and a balloon for her! As well as a stationary bike! It was mine until I gave it to my Grams, now after surgery and during chemo she is not able to use it and wanted it out! I found out that Sydney bikes TONS as in like 12 miles a day outside tons, so I asked her if she would like a stationary bike! She jumped at the chance and I got it back from my Mom and gave it to her at the same time as her gifts!
 She was pretty excited!
Opening her gifts! She is such a sweet girl and such a blessing to me! She has a natural talent for music and I'm so excited to see how far she goes!
 This week I FINALLY made it to the pool! I have been wanting to go since it opened Memorial Day, but couldn't find my suit, and then every time I would get done with lessons and want to go it would be cloudy! Boo! Finally Thursday I was done early and it was still nice so I hopped over and stayed there for 2 hours! It was wonderful! So very relaxing and the sun felt so great! I haven't been able to be out in the sun without burning for over 6 years, thanks to some medicine I have been on. But I've finally been able to go off the medicine and now i am back to my normal non burning skin! I plan to take advantage of the pool as much as possible this summer!!

For awhile I was the only person at the pool! Wow! Talk about nice!! I got in the big pool and did some laps and then just floated on my back. That was such a beautiful moment i wanted to bottle it. Floating in the beautiful water, total silence, clouds slowly dancing through the sky. I never realized one could Worship in a swimming pool but at that moment that's what I was doing! It was just such a display of God's Handy work! 


Speaking of God's handiwork, he has been busy this week showing off!! I don't know why but I have always loved the sky right before a storm rolls in. To me it just show's God's power and strength. I don't know why but I love it. Every time I see a sky like this, I just stop and stare up at it and have a moment of worship. I often start singing "How Great thou art" because it just seems to fit the sky and moment so well! I'm thankful for those moments when I can just stop and look up at the sky and see God's creation and just be awed at his awesomeness!!!!

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

 I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
