I love Boys!

Well if you have been paying attention to my twitter feed, you will know that today I found out that I am going to be an Auntie to a precious little baby boy!! I am SO excited to know who is coming now! Now I will start a countdown to the birth!! :) 4 more months!!

I'm really happy for my brother, Kevin and my SIL Liz. They will be fabulous parents and I can't wait to watch this new season of life that my big bro is entering into! I started thinking about how weird it was going to be to have a new little member of the family, since its really just us 6 (Mom &Dad, K&L and me and Grams) but then I realized I always thought it would be weird to have a sister in law and my brother be married (seriously, when did we become old enough to get married and have kids??!!) but when K&L got married it really was like finding a missing member of the family! Liz completes our family and now we are going to add a baby to it, the best of K&L and I'm really excited.

Honestly I am a bit nervous. I was hoping for a girl, just because Katie has boys and I wanted some variety, and foofo stuff! :) But I am somewhat relieved to find out that its going to be a boy! I've been seriously worrying about how to be a good, Godly Aunt. I don't really have extended family. Well.. I have them, but I don't have them if you know what I mean. And I've never had an example of a Godly Aunt so I'm somewhat lost as to what exactly I'm supposed to do and what is called of me. The knowledge that this child is going to grow up and will look to me for advice and as a role model seriously scares the ever lovin tarnation out of me!! So at least being an Aunt to a boy who won't be modeling my behavior as much as a girl will maybe ease me into this Aunthood.

I will even admit that I have googled how to be a Godly Aunt and I haven't gotten very far so if anyone has any advice or tips, PLEASE leave them for me!!!

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...
