Thoughts

I have this little book that has 365 inspirational thoughts in it called,

God's promises-Day by Day

I thought it was quite appropriate for what is going on right now.

Here is Monday's:

"He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters." Psalm 23:2

"Note the two pronouns preceding the two verbs. HE makes me...HE leads me...Who is in charge? The shepherd. The shepherd selects the trail and prepares the pasture. The sheep's job-our job-is to watch the shepherd."

-Max Lucado

Traveling Light

29 + 10

You are probably wondering what the title of the blog means..well, I celebrated my 29th birthday yesterday and I think I gained 10 lbs over the weekend. I am exaggerating a bit, but today it sure feels like it!

My parents came into town this weekend as well. Brad and I were able to get away on a date night Saturday night for Valentines Day, so my parents took the kids out on a date. They took them to Lollipops to play. I was able to go for a bit before heading down to Cheesecake Factory for dinner with Brad and than off to Married Life Live at Brownsbridge.

The kids had so much fun running around and getting all their energy out.

(So did my mom and dad!)

Carsyn loves this car that runs down the track. Big girl can do it all by herself!

After church on Sunday, my parents took us all out to eat at Applebee's for lunch. Yummy! While I was at practice during the afternoon, the kids and my mom made this delicious 3 layer chocolate cake. When I got home, they we so excited to dive into the cake.

On Monday, which was my actual birthday, after our last basketball game for the season, we went out to eat at Provinos. Hence the reason for my weight gain!

I couldn't have asked for a more fun eventful weekend!

Monday Memories

I took these of my best girl friend and her fiance, at the time, a little over 3 years ago. I have been working on a project for her and her husband for a late anniversary gift. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
