Meeting Addison Jane

Last week something happened that I have been waiting, hoping and praying for, for a very long time! My dear friend Audra had her first baby girl, Addison Jane, and I got to meet her and hold her for the first time!!!! I was BEYOND excited!!!!

I can't come up with words to adequately describe what it was like to hold her for the first time! She is such a little cutie, and she was so light! and so tiny! She dressed in a special festive outfit for our first girls lunch and my birthday lunch! This might be my favorite new picture :)

Or maybe this is! A self portrait with the three of us!!!!! So exciting!! And yes, I have mad Auntie Skillz, I can hold a baby and take a picture at the same time. 4 years of practice with Snugglemuffin :)

After lunch we went to the living room and snuggled and sweet little Addie Girl just slept and slept in my arms.

Cub Cubs Wasn't too happy about his snuggle buddy snuggling someone else!

You just can't take enough pictures of babies sleeping. They are so precious!

Sleeping Beauty.

It cracked me up how Addie liked sleeping with her arms up. Doesn't she look like a doll? I kept staring at her, she was just so perfect that she almost didn't look real!

And then, right before I left, she was thinking about waking up and grabbed onto my finger. She was holding my hand! erm, well finger. It was so sweet, I just about cried! Sweet little Addie Jane! I am so excited you are finally here! I can't wait to get to know her and her personality and watch this precious little girl grow!

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...

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo! My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable. My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size! Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!! That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

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...

It's me, Charity
