    Gah! Girl I'm so excited for you, you deserve this and so much more. It's hard to believe that just last year we were in Starbucks talking about this sort of thing and here you are!

    Congratulations girl. I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Monday Musings (5/4)

Image
~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting. ...

Thankful Thursday (2/27) -- It's Kind of a Big Deal

Image
Thankful Thursday.  I think today I have something incredible to be thankful for.  No, I know it.  DESPITE the fact that The Husband and I had an argument this morning in the car (which resulted in a decidely-sour mood for a few hours thereafter), and DESPITE the fact that Jack refused to eat lunch and therefore went down for his nap on a basically-empty stomach (which, again, frustrated me to no end), we saw something that took our breaths away hours before all of that took place.  Jack, would you like to share? If he could nod, I know his head would bob in the affirmative.  Did you catch it?  If not, here's what The Husband and I saw on this gorgeous, chilly, Southeast Texas day in the warmth of a dimly-lit room.  So, there you have it. The secret we've held onto for months now.  If this little one holds fast and true to the due date we've been given, Jack and Baby #3 will be almost exactly 14 mont...

Being Sure

I am not superstitious. Really, I'm not. I'm cautious , but I'm not superstitious. I do, however, tend to not get my hopes up often. My sister and I are alike in this. We don't let ourselves get intensely excited about things or events coming up because we don't want to be let down if things fall through. I never thought much about that outlook on life until one day when I was talking to the boyfriend, and he said that was a sad way to think. And he was right. He was absolutely right. How can I, as a child of God, not have hope? I have a set of devotional cards on my desk at work, and I'm terrible about changing the cards. It's not laziness or lack of motivation; it's simply forgetfulness on my part. It sits right in front of me day after day (among the papers, the multiple stamps, the pink ink pad, the maroon stapler, the black tape dispenser, the daily planner, the whistle, the almost-empty jar of Nutella, the wicker basket of assorted writing utensi...
