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!!!!

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
