Blessed!

So, I was driving today and just thinking...clearly. I mean, this is far from me trying to turn off my television with my car keys or thinking my washing machine is outside. It just became heavy in my heart today in realizing how blessed the Lord has made my life. Even though things are CRAZY right now with the Holidays right around the corner, and I'm in the middle of planning my daughter's first birthday party, the Lord has continue to provide happiness and patience to me. God knows I need that right now. The transition with Sean's new job was a little tough, but with these blessings we have been able to work through it, and still take at least one night a week for just us.

I want to be able to forward on these blessings and I know the best way to do that is to share with my loved ones what God has done in my life. I've realized that no matter how far away my family is, they still love me, and they are still here! I hope that God puts peace in their hearts about the space between us too.

Fighting Back My Bittersweet Tears...

Here it is...Her FIRST haircut...well, this is how we started out...

I would say she is pretty happy here!

Words cannot express this photo. I have a feeling that I will be getting a lot more of these looks as my life goes on.

Here is the end result. Such a sweet baby girl. She did so well...as long as we kept yogurt bites and books in front of her :)

It's Fall, Y'all

It's my favorite time of year, again! We have kicked off the fall with planting some mums in the front and back yards, going to the pumpkin patch and of course, watching football Thursday-Monday! Although I have no pics of my mums, or tablescape, I've got plenty of our little stinker so far this fall!
