48/52


 Whew! Last week was a WEEK!! But I made it through and I'm quite happy to be on the other side!

Monday was super busy because it was the day before the recital! 9 lessons, and all the last minute plan for the worst prep. Tuesday dawned COLD and windy and SNOWY. Ugh. It was not ideal weather, but thankfully it didn't get terrible. I snapped this selfie in the parking lot at TSC waiting for Jboz and Bethanne to meet me so we could all carpool together.
 That is one happy and now relaxed teacher!! I was starving by this point! HA! Jboz was my assistant for the 3'rd I think year in a row and once again I don't know what I would do without her!!
 And my sweet sweet Bethanne! She is a senior this year and while I hope and pray this isn't her last year as our photographer, I thought it would be appropriate to do something special to acknowledge her. So Jboz and I put our heads together and did some sneaking around :) We managed to sneak in a bouquet of flowers, in one of my bags, while riding in the same vehicle as B.. Man I was sweating it! I also had a speech prepared, and I had to check about 9 times to make sure I had left it off of B's version of the program notes.  But we pulled it off!!!! And it was one of the best moments of the night!
 We finished up at the recital site and then swung by Bick Creek Pizza to pick up our dinner that I had ordered ahead. We were a little late, but the pizza had cooled down to the perfect temp where we could eat it without burning our mouths!! I had one piece while driving and then took B home, and got myself home, put my slippers on, sat down on my couch and sighed a very relieved and happy sigh while I had some more pizza. See again STARVING from barely eating all day from my nerves.
 Wednesday I could have used a day off. I was tired! But Alas, I had students and an Allergy shot to get, so on went my day. It was definitely a glasses day, the day after the recital!
By Thursday afternoon after going to Bible Study in the morning, I just wanted to be cozy. So I had some hot apple cider in my Christmas mug as I taught.

Friday was AMAZING. I slept 13!!!!! hours and then had nowhere to be, noone to see, ahhh it was wonderful!!

Saturday my parents came by in the afternoon and my Dad was able to clean the part on my furnace that was not working properly. Now my furnace is working great, just in time for more really cold weather.

And that brings us to Sunday! I had to rush out the door to meet someone at church so no picture before church. We had a great service celebrating our two year giving initiative and seeing what God has done with the money that has been given!

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...
