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...

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...
