Post 101

Celebrate!! It's post 101!! Happy Monday to you!!

P.S. I just couldn't help but put a picture of 101 Dalmatians! I know... I'm a nerd ;)

Crunch and Munch

I'm a BIG fan of popcorn... We make it the old school way and it is the best! A few days ago I discovered this wonderful new snack...



This popcorn really changes everything you ever thought about popcorn! It is AMAZING! Go try some today!

It makes me happy... until the bag is gone ;)

Snip and Cut

So this is the new hair! I cut it off to give to Pantene! They donate their wigs to women with cancer. I got a total of 10 inches off, but it only takes 8. Think about doing it yourself! I love the new look!

What do you think?

Forever

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall
In love

In a restless world
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give
My heart

And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

Papa, Daddy, Father

Call him what you please, but mine is the best!

In my eyes, my daddy is the second best man who ever walked the earth. (Jesus comes first, of course! And C.S. Lewis is third for now--until a future husband fits in somewhere!) I’ve been my daddy’s “pumpkin” since Day One. Though you should never get into an argument with him, he is particularly fun to engage in a battle of the wits. I’m very much like my daddy. We are both laid back with a touch of perfectionism in our vocations. We both laugh at our own jokes (even if no one else does!), and our mutual dream is to refurbish an old car.

Give three cheers to your Dad!

Now your daddy might not have won a prize for the best dad of the year. I understand that fathers aren’t perfect, but let’s not forget we are not perfect, either. God has put your daddy in your life for a special reason. Learning from him is not only beneficial, but is commanded in scripture. The Lord reveals wisdom through your father, however insufficient you think he may be at times. As a polished cornerstone (Psalm 144:12), you can receive the blessings of an honoring spirit. Just as we are born with the capability to sin, so are our dads. Search the scriptures to know how you should love him!

Maybe you have grown up in a strong Christian home with a loving dad, or maybe your dad has not been a major influence in your life. We must put trust in our Heavenly Father that all things are working for our good.

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28

Think about this: maybe your choice to honor, love, and respect your daddy can be an encouragement to him—-giving him the boost to become more honorable. The Lord might be calling you to be the “big girl”!

Big Girl steps can be scary! Try this one. This week find something that makes your dad smile! It might be his favorite dessert or even a big hug from you! Make him smile and choose to honor him!

Happy Daddies Day!!!

I'll shop here!

This is a great new site I found! Love it!

It's On!

Hey you crazy, white, fuzzy bugs! You are not welcome to feast on my blackberry bushes! You are making my life not so happy right now! I've worked hard for those blackberries. Consider your life coming to an end, because you are about to tango with spicy Tabasco spray!!!

Down with the bad bugs!!!!

Tea for Two and a Few

My wonderful cousin is getting married! This was her tea! As you can see, I was the happy punch girl! ;) Nathan filmed all the lovely ladies and it was a very merry event. My grandmother told me three times that she is going to do the same kind of event for me, once a fellow comes and finds me :)

Perfectly Situated

Over the weekend we went to my cousin's bridal tea. While we were in deep South Alabama, we found this perfectly situated town. I want to live there!


I want this house. And yes, it was for sale... just my luck when I can't buy it. :/ Can't you just see me sipping sweet tea on the front porch and children playing in the yard...

Lazzzzzy Summer Days

Do you remember when you were a child during summer time? How the days seemed oh, so long. The best thing was to run through a sprinklers and eat and ice cream cone next to you dog.

So summers as a young adult might be a little different... but it has it's perks. The best thing to me is taking a nap durning a hot afternoon and waking to the sound of air conditioner and Mom busy in the kitchen.

I love summer projects weather it's repainting, covering an old settee, or cleaning out something, it always seems more pleasant when you have a big slice of watermelon to reward yourself with after your done.

Do you have any special summer projects this year? Or maybe you like to entertain. These are perfect little ideas for your summer bash!

Where is she?

... Hello Happy Bloggers!

Sorry I have not been blogging! Life has been too crazy to keep up with. I'm thankful for these few lazy summer days. I have only a few classes to teach!

Here is what I've been up to.



A big thank you to those who have kept Alabama in your prayers! We were so blessed! We were within less than half a mile from the EF5. God is good! Please keep our dear friends, the Lees, in your prayers. Mr. Lee passed away in the storm while praying over his family as the house came down around them. To find how you can help, visit here.
