Emery Grace....

I absolutely love the holiday season. I love all of the festivities..... all of the wrapping of gifts, shopping, coffee and the christmas tree is a plus too.

This year we had another special little treat, my niece Emery had a christmas program last night and we were able to go see her. It was so cute! She did a great job, such much so that I didnt even notice all the other kids :) The cutest thing: she kept look over at all the family and spontaneously waving to everyone during the performance. It was so sweet to see so many kids singing about our savior Jesus Christ.
I hope you are taking time to just marinate in this wonderful season!
Emery is in the middle, she waves at 3:11
Hope you enjoy!

Hello Again!!!!

I have had several moments where I miss writing in my blog- I have had times where I think I go through withdrawal and after much thought and much prayer, I feel like it is time to make a come back and get back at writing. I really enjoyed having this as an outlet and really miss that I no longer have a place to vent, celebrate, just jabber and most of all I miss showcasing the randomness that makes me..... me!


So to do a quick catch up- since I have been gone:


We have been fishing a few times and I caught my biggest fish so far at our special little lake.

We took the youth on the Fall Retreat - we took 17 youth and it was so awesome!

We held an awesome dinner called the celebrity dinner. It was so much fun- we had lots of people show up and dressed up for the evening as different celebrities and the pastors did a dance off... haha! SMH can really get down huh.

(the walk of fame- it had some of the church leaderships names on them)
(the red carpet leading into the event.. the huge cameras had strobe lights in them so it gave the effect of flashing cameras -tttoooooo coooooolllll)

We had an awesome progressive dinner with the Womens ministry we split the meal up and had one course per house, lots of fun!

We went to visit family in Dallas and then on the way home we went to visit my mom and my nieces and nephews too. This was a first for us to get to spend time with both sides of the family- so fun! My mom made some killer enchiladas.

My tomatoes and peppers on my patio are growing.

I almost have my christmas shopping complete (just 2 more to go)!!! Thank you Jesus for online shopping bc I have no time to go to an actual store right now.


hmmm what else can I share in a nut shell:


I saw the following 2 bugs just outside of my front door:


More catching up and updates coming soon......
Im so happy to be back!!!
