Showering Kelsey

-

 Hello again! I hope that you're enjoying this almost fall-like weather! We had such a great weekend showering one of my best friends; Ms. Kelsey Inman! Just in case you don't know already, it's amazing how the Lord has allowed us to be in the same city! Kelsey was one of my maid-of-honors, we became friends at MTSU, and we now serve at the same church together here in White House, TN. Her first official showers were this weekend; Pampered Chef and a church shower. Can you believe we packed fifteen women in our house? I'm so grateful that we had just enough space to shelter everyone! Our great friend and Sunday School teacher Kebel came over to represent Pampered Chef... and I was the host! If you haven't gone to or hosted a PC shower yet, I highly recommend it! I didn't realized how much PC stuff I already had until I was looking through the catalogue; I definitely have to thank my Mom! A lot of my sister's have had PC showers and my Mom has been known to pick up the tab. She knows the way to my heart... baking supplies! 

Needless to say, we had a blast! We all got to pick out what item we wanted to purchase for her and give  her our favorite recipes. We also had a gourmet meal cooked right before our eyes with amazing PC gadgets. The house smelled of garlic, onion, lime, jalapeño, and of course...chocolate! It was so yummy! I decided to give her a classy apron too...seen above, isn't it cute? I know she got some amazing stuff! Also, who knew that being a host gives you a lot of free stuff too... I can't wait for all of our orders to come in!

The second shower was at our church! As staff/pastors wives we hosted a friendly little gathering to celebrate the lovely couple. I provided some homemade yellow cake cupcakes with almond cream cheese frosting. Everyone kept asking what the "G" was for but eventually remembered that her future last name will be GIBBS of course. We also had a very tasty mocha punch... YUM! Oh, I'm so excited for them to get hitched! Love you guys!

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
