Audra's Happy Merry Birthday Christmas!

 One of my Christmas traditions is to go to Audra's house for dinner the week before Christmas to celebrate her Birthday which is TODAY! YAYS!! and Christmas! This year we lucked out in the photo department as her hubs was there, so we rousted him out of his man cave-ing to be our photographer! Worked sooo much better than using my self timer! Poor Cubs never really got the whole self timer thing. He would look at us like why are we smiling at a camera that no one is behind? Bless his heart.
 Now that Auds has her new house she has not one, but two trees to take our pictures by! Hurray! I love hanging out in her fancy living room, these chairs are sooooo comfy!!!
 Our gifts were the same exact size, and wrapped in very similiar paper. Great minds think alike!
 Cubs was REALLY into the gift opening process! What a good helper!
 Can you see the slobber marks on the box? hahah.. Poor little Birchbox!! After months, ok years, of me telling Audie all about #birchbox I decided it was time to gift her her own subscription! We'll see if the Mary Kay lover is a convert or not!
 Great minds really do think alike as she gave me some awesome Burts Bee's skincare stuff! I'm a big fan of Burts Bees, so I was really excited! I get super crazy dry skin in the winter, my hands get so dry that they crack and sometimes bleed. Ye-ouch!  I have been slathering several of these products all over my hands and fingers! Sidenote, I love how Cubbie is smiling at me here!
 Happy Cherrybear with yummy skin stuff! I do love a good girly product!
 And Cubs loves ripping paper and presents apart. Look at him going to town!
 Who? me? What are you speaking of? Cubbie your innocent look, it's not working my friend!
He just cracks me up! Just laying on the floor playing like a little boy! He's full of personality.. and then some!

Happy Merry Birthday Christmas Audie! I am so thankful for your friendship, and your wise and Godly council! I am looking forward to seeing how God works in our lives this next year!!

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...
