Northview Block Party

 Finally getting caught up on happenings on the ol blog! 

A week ago we had our Block Party at my churches new location! We finally are in our new building and it's beautiful! So we had a block party to celebrate! I invited Audra and Addie, and Addie's Nana just so happened to be in town visiting so I finally got to meet her! My friend and Piano Student Sarah met us there and we had a great time! I also ran into another student and FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE!! Who am I???! I will blame it on the heat!

 I'm not sure if #SelfieSunday is a thing, but I'm trying to make it one on my Instagram. After church Selfies in front of my window give the best light! I'm also really into wearing dresses (Sundresses mostly) to church this summer. It is HOT outside!


 By Far Addie's FAVORITE part of this shindig was the Puppy she met. Moses. Yes, the Dog's name was Moses. And he was ADORABLE!
 I couldn't seem to get a great picture of her loving on him, but suffice it to say she.was.a.fan.
 Addie and her Mama. And her Nana in the background! Let me just tell you, they had some amazing Chocolate Chunk Cookies. I am still thinking about those cookies. They were just that good! And under the tent was sooo much cooler than out in the hot sun!
 By this point, Addie Jane was kind of done.
 She hid it well. HA!!
 We were struggling with the pictures that afternoon. I will again blame it on the heat!
 Me and Sarah! You can't tell, but Sarah and I both got our faces painted! We took some super awkward pictures under the tent that I will spare you from seeing. #YoureWelcome
 Sarah got a Melting Ice cream cone, with a cherry on top! And I got a pink, white and blue butterfly! Upon seeing myself in the mirror on the drive home I got "If I were a Butterfly" stuck in my head and have been singing it ever since. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, click HERE.

 After I got home I attempted to get a better pic of the butterfly...
 Which was a fail, but doesn't my hair look nice? I curled it that morning! I'm trying to figure out hairstyles for church that don't involve me washing it that morning and then spending 9,890,780,678 hours blowdrying it. Naturally Curly hair-NOT wash and go.

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...
