Thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! We had a busy, but wonderful day today celebrating with both sides of our family! My parents live out in the country where there are actual trees around their house... not like the puny ones we have hangin' out in our neighborhood! So, after lunch I asked, or forced, my family to head on ...
Helping Hands
My heart is full to the brim! My sweet friend Jennifer planned a day of service for our Sunday School class at one of the local women's shelters. It was such a blessing to see our girls in action today, and I'm so thankful they gave a day from their break to do this with us! I totally meant to bring my actual camera, but forgot. ...
Working out back…
When we moved into our house 3 years ago, we knew that something had to change in our backyard. It had little to no patio, roof-wise, but WAY too much concrete. With the Texas heat, the roofless patio and hot concrete made our backyard pretty much miserable. So, we decided to start sprucin' this area up!And, I now introduce you to ...
Bedroom Makeover
While Jared and I are waiting for our little jewel to make her appearance, we have been doing some things around the house. Knowing that our life/finances will completing be consumed with our child, we wanted to make sure we got some of our wish-list items taken care of before that happened! I have redone our bedroom probably 6 times ...
Getting a 2nd Opinion
Alrighty y'all, I'm here for a little update from the appointment we had today. We went to a doctor who came HIGHLY recommended by a family at church. He is actually the Chief of Neurosurgery at Baylor in Dallas and is Matt Chandler's neurosurgeon. This was a total God thing because we have a lady from church who works for Dr. ...
Our little scare…
First of all, I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has lifted us up in your prayers over the past few days. It has kinda been a whirlwind, and rather surreal at moments, but I wanted to take a moment and just explain what we know as of right now {mostly because we live in a small town where rumors spread like wildfire and things ...
in the life…
I have been the wife of a student pastor pretty much from day 1 of my marriage. Although Jared wasn't the student pastor when we got married {he was actually the custodian, remember those fun times, Jare?! :)}, he worked with junior high students at our church. I knew from the get go that I was marrying a pastor, shortly after I got ...
New York, day THREE!
Alrighty, I think I'm to Thursday now! Thursday morning we woke up around 11 again {PTL for black-out curtains!} We went into Times Square for lunch and a little shopping/perusing. Then, hopped on the Subway to go to the Bronx Zoo! I will say that it's winter, so not all of the exhibits were open, BUT there were very few ...
Our last day in NYC
Friday was our shortest day in New York. Our flight left in the afternoon, so we actually had to wake up before 11! After catching breakfast at one of our favorite diners, we headed to SoHo to grab some Georgetown Cupcakes!On the Subway we decided to plug in our headphones like all of the other riders :)Made it to the yummy bakery (the ...
