What a Blessing!

Last week my family and I went to Camp Canaan in Somerset, KY. We go there every year; but this year was even more special. My Grandmother got the opportunity to go with us this year! My Mammaw took me every year when I was a kid. I learned so much, enjoyed so much, was blessed so much; and now I got to return the blessing. My Mammaw is 71 years old, and I'm so glad the Lord has let her be a part of my life this long.

Teens having fun!

Last Sunday we had our church teen class over for lunch. We had pizza, chips, cookies, & pop. We also watched a movie called "Facing the Giants". I love that movie! We also goofed off, and my husband and the guys of the group practiced playing some music together. They seemed to have a pretty good time. Teens are so intimidating to me. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because when I was a teen I never seemed to fit in anywhere with anyone. Oh, well. Hopefully we can be a good influence and an encouragement to these great young people.

I DID IT!!!

I did it and I'm sooo excited!!! I've gotten everything organized, cleaned, and decorated in my master bedroom. It looks and feels so nice. And I love the fact that I can walk thru my room in the middle of the night, and not worry about falling and breaking my neck.
My next projects will be to get started on homemade Christmas gifts! That's going to be so much fun!

Let's get ORGANIZED!!!

By nature, I'm a very unorganized, chaotic person. I seem to do things 'spur of the moment' and only if I'm in the mood to do things do they get done; which by the way, drives my husband insane! Sometimes I drive myself insane. I mean, really. Why does it seem soooo difficult for me to plan ahead, and organize, and keep everything tidy? I like organization. I really do. I just can't seem to accomplish it. But, I'm really going to try. My master bedroom is in desperate need of, well, a lot. It's my 'catch all' room. My bed is drowning beneath scrapbooking supplies, scraps of fabric from my last several sewing projects, (none of which I have completely finished, yet.), yarn, projects I have planned to complete for Christmas gifts- you name it, I have it somewhere in the deep abiss that I call my bedroom. I want my room to be romantic and warm, yet functional. So keep your fingers crossed, girls, I'm goin' in- and by God's help, I am going to get this mess organized!!!

I'm glad that's over!

Sophia's surgery went very well, thankfully! She's already breathing and sleeping better at night. She is starting to have some pain, though. Hopefully we can coax her to drink plenty of fluids, otherwise she'll have to go back to the hospital to get hydrated via I.V.
Please keep her in your prayers.

What a snore...

No, really! I mean my little girl snores bigtime! so we took her to an e.n.t. specialist. We found out that her toncils are abnormally large and that she needs to have them removed. She will be having surgery on July 1st. I'm going to the library tomorrow to rent some books & cartoons that we do not already have, & Sophia has gotten to pick out 100% fruit popsicles as well. She's very excited about getting to eat as many frozen treats as she would like! Hopefully the surgery will go well...please pray!
