Meet Kelsey and Dwayne Gibbs To Be

-
Ooooh we're just so excited about this! I've been keeping a big secret from my dear friend Kelsey for a few weeks now and I am so relieved that I don't have to hide it anymore! God is so faithful and blesses us more than we will ever ever deserve. I know these two will live a life pleasing to Him. We are so happy for Dwayne and Kelso as they are recently betrothed (said in an english accent). :) We had a little surprise/birthday party for them so that we could all get together as friends to celebrate. It was so great to see some of our old Murfreesboro friends who drove all they way up to White House! 
I decided I'd just whip up a little cookie cake for them and it seems that everyone enjoyed it since there was none to take home! We played some games, fellowshipped, and laughed as guests trafficked through. I couldn't resist getting my sweet friend some sweet smelling flowers and of course the latest bridal magazine! I can't wait to help her as much as she helped me as my maid of honor. I mean this girl made homemade bows for our wedding, helped address invitations, bag jelly beans, kept me accountable, kept me from going insane, threw showers for me that had around fifty people (again, sorry for inviting 200) and even DIED MY VEIL IN TEA to make it match my dress. Now that is commitment... i'm sure there were strange tasks I requested that she didn't feel like doing and- she did them. I will always admire her self discipline, creativity, thoughtfulness, faith, and commitment to her many hobbies. Congratulations you lovely two and thank you for being a part of my last twenty million blog posts...without you guys and food I don't know if I'd have much to write about. hahaa

As usual...highlight real yay!!!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th

What to Think

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.   Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.  The Lord is at hand;   do not be anxious about anything,  but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.   And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.   What you have learned and  received and heard and seen  in me—practice these things, and  the God of peace will be with you. ( Philippians 4:4-9, ESV) If there's one thing I find myself dwelling on lately, it's when will I have a normal day? There's something about predictability that is comforting. Every day after lunch I have to have some coffee... and

Fall Afresh On Me

Fall Decor At Our Tennessee Home I apologize in advance for this crazy and loaded blog post. I tried blogging about one topic and then it just exploded. So, enjoy! Fall Afresh? What does that mean? It happens to be the lyric of one of my favorite songs lately.  If you haven't heard of Bethel Music or Jeremy Riddle, here's a song that just might bless you. I love the lyrics! "Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me, come wake me from my sleep. Burn through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow." That is my prayer!! I grew up singing hymns mostly so I knew this song came from this hymn , just in case you were unaware!   I've been thinking a lot about seasons, particularly fall since it's my first fall away from home. This song just so happens to have the word fall in it so I just had to share it with you!  I'm so thankful for the meaningful relationships we had in Tennessee. One special lady even surprised me just yesterday by
