40/52

Holy Moley! How is it week 40 already??!!

#ChristmasIsComing !!

 Speaking of Christmas, last week 266 Christmas cards left the studio to go home to my students for them to decorate for our service project. This is pretty much my favorite thing we do each year! I can't wait to see their creativity and to see the faces of some of the recipients!!
 So Monday started off great. All the cards were divided up, packed up and ready to go, my house was clean, I was organized, I was drinking Dunkin Donuts coffee out of my Charlie Brown mug....
 Life was good!

And it was.

Until 8:10 pm that evening.

Then began a scary time, where I ended up saving my neighbors life.

I didn't get to sleep until 2 am that night, and woke up the next day, still really worried. Thankfully that evening a family member came by to thank me and update me on what was going on.

I slept MUCH better Tuesday night, but it was a crazy week. I was still exhausted from my lack of sleep and all the fear and worry, and still wrapping my mind around what had happened.

 I think I took this picture on Thursday. It's October and we had near record breaking heat this past week. I am tired of sweating.

 Speaking of sweating, I was sweating in this jean jacket after church today. I wore my favorite sundress HOPEFULLY one last time this year, and when I left for church it was cool, so on went the jacket. When I came out of church it was like walking into a steam bath.

 Dear Fall, We love you, please come back with temps in the high 60's and low 70s.

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...
