Weekend Wrap-Up

 I had a lovely weekend! Sunday I was really excited as the former American Idol contestant, Joanna Beasley, was at my church to lead worship! I go to a church that is one church-with multiple locations. Typically we have a video of our Lead Pastor Steve Poe preaching on the big screen, and each campus has their own worship. The main campus is Carmel is super big, so all of the special guests usually go there. So we miss out alot at our small campus here in Lafayette! 

Our worship leader just left to be a pastor in MO, so we've had a variety of fill in's while we try to fill his place. Well today Joanna Beasley just happened to be our fill in! And a pretty awesome one at that! She has a beautiful voice and was super nice and so easy to talk to! I  asked her for a picture as she was walking by and complimented me on my purse. So we took a picture and chatted and she was just a nice normal person!

 After church I hurried back to my house, good thing I live only a few mins away! Downed a sandwich really fast and shimmied into my bathing suit! I spent a glorious 3 hours at the pool! It was BEAUTIFUL outside!! I plugged my earbuds in and rocked out to some Florida Georgia Line while I tanned.

I posted this pic on fb and said i was trying to get some color. I did get alot of color. Just not the color I was planning on.
 I finally made myself lay on my stomach (I hate doing that!) and tan my back and the back of my legs. The small tan I have had has had a line stopping at the whiteness of my back legs. Bless my heart.

I had planned on staying for maybe 2 hours. Well after 2 hours I hopped in the wading pool to cool off and refresh myself before I went back to my house. Well then a little boy with special needs came over and we started playing and splashing eachother and he was just giggling and giggling. It was the sweetest sound! He was having the time of his life! And I just couldn't stop that for him! So we played for an hour and then his Dad was taking him home. I looked at my arms and chest and realized I was red, and hoofed it home. Albeit a bit too late. It was worth it though!
This weekend, Friday night actually, I posted some stuff on Craigslist and another site. When I got up saturday I had a message from a lady wanting to buy my coffee table set that i've been trying to get rid of for a year! I sold that Saturday, and Sunday evening I drove over to a meeting spot and sold 11 purses, again that i've had since i moved here, to another lady. I snapped this picture of the sun beams as I was sitting in line at Wendy's for s Frosty cone. Which btw was very yummy!
This picture was taken early in the evening. As I write this right now i am MUCH MUCH redder than this pic. And yes, it HURTS!
 I basically look like I'm wearing a red turtleneck. Since I went to church before the pool I had my makeup on, which has SPF in it. So my face is as white as it always is, and the rest of me is burnt. I don't know why but it really amuses me! I struggle.
My poor pink legs. They are red now. I need to work more on tanning my feet apparently.

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...
