I love this lamp.  I love crosses.  I love windchimes. Enough said.

Happy Birthday, Lela!!! :D :D :D

Today we celebrated Lela's birthday!!  We love her more than words can say and thank God every day for the blessing He bestowed upon us when He sent her to our family.  Becca had bought a new purse for Lela and in keeping with family tradition, you cannot give a purse as a gift without putting something inside of it.  Becca chose to give Lela a little cash and of course, Lela was very much okay with it. Happy Birthday and God bless you, Lela!!! xoxoxo

I Hate It When..

...my family leaves to return back home to IL.  It leaves me a tad melancholy and lonely.  I took this photograph of Amadeus this morning as Kendra was their things ready to go.  It makes me smile!  You can just see the orneriness oozing out of him.  I love that kid but I hate goodbyes.

Snuggie + Chocolate = LOVE :D

Happy St. Valentine's Day!!!! 

So, I was lavished with gifts today. Chocolate, snuggie, more chocolate, jewelery, new blouses, and the company of a good friend and my family!! (even my sis, Anna, made it over and it has been FOREVER since we have spent time together!)  What a wonderful day!

You may laugh but I was excited about my 'slanket'.  Most people refer to them as snuggies but I feel slanket (sleeves + blanket = slanket) a more appropriate name.  Regardless, I live in the midwest and it keeps me cozy.  (Me + cozy = happy!!)  Tonight was perfect.  I wrapped myself in my new Blue Slanket (brings out the color of my eyes-hahaha!) and munched on an assortment of chocolates while watching tv in our COLD now TOASTY (thank you, snuggie) basement with my family.  I have to say today fell into the priceless catagory.  :)
