It's me, Charity

 Time to post the random pictures hanging around my phone before it's a new month! I like this one of Em and the Mads at our most recent lunch date. Just perusing the menu...  Madi spent most of the lunch date under the table/booth. I looked down and saw Em's foot and a tiny foot next to hers. I laughed.  I've had some frozen fruit and have been experimenting with different smoothies. This one was a blueberry,grape, and raspberry sorbet smoothie. Pretty tasty! Not to be drank around people though as the berry skins stick to your teeth! awkward.  I went to the library for one book. Came back with 11.  Purdue is apparently ranked #4 on the top 10 colleges to meet singles guys. It made me laugh. alot.  Pretty stormy sky one afternoon.  SO many things are wrong with this picture...  My attempt at Apple Cinnamon bread was a success! It tasted toooooooo goood. I want some now. :(  Got a FABULOUS new fall haircut f...

 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...

 I am in denial that Madi is 3. It cannot be 3 years since we were terrorizing the halls of St E and scaring little medical students, while telling Emboz that she needed to push Madi out in the next hour because Jboz and I both had to get up early for work the next morning. (Are we good friends or what?! Regardless of my denial, we still partied it up tonight! Do not be fooled by our sweet smiles in the picture above. Right after we took this B.A. said something that warded her a smack from Minnie Mouse. I did not realize that Minnie's bow was actually a box, a hard box, to make her bow light up. So I heard this CRACK when I thumped it on B.A's head! I felt sooo bad!!! She did not cry but I wanted to for her! It sounded like it HURT!!  Jboz and her niece in the photo booth!!  Such a cute lil stinker!  Uncle Dan wrapped the Madi's present with bubble wrap. That's right, bubble wrap. I think the most disturbing part of this is when he was telling m...

We are in the FINAL HOURS of voting for the 2013 Reader's Choice awards here in my town! My Piano Studio is nominated in the Best Music Lessons Category! This is HUGE Y'all!! I can't even tell you how crazy excited I was when I got up last week and saw that! (However my bible study gals can!!) If you could do me a huge favor and go to this link  http://contests.jconline.com/contests/readers-choice-2013/  and vote for Music from the Heart once on every single electronic device that you own, I would love you forever!!! I still cannot believe that my Piano Studio was nominated! I am blown away and so thankful for what God has done in just one short year!

Labor day weekend I was heading out to my parents farm, and stopped to drop off the trash at the dumpster before I hit the road. Much to my surprise I saw this cute little night stand and a big chest of drawers and a long dresser. I have been wanting a new nightstand for my room so I immediately grabbed this up and put it in my truck! I knew my Mom could paint it black and it would be super cute to match my black and white bedroom!  I had to stop at the bank before I got on the interstate and while I was there all I could think about was the long dresser that was sitting still at the dumpster. I really wanted it but had no clue how I was going to get it in my truck myself. After some frantic texting I was able to coerce Emboz into coming over and helping me load it into my truck! Needless to say my Mom was rather surprised when I showed up with an SUV full or furniture for her to paint.  I am so blessed with parents who have many talents. My Mom is the QUEEN at ...
