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...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
