LOVE

Hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day! We made cookies and played all day! Chris brought Chuy's home for lunch...he knows the way to my heart! It was a great day!

How did you spend your Valentine's day?

10 months

My sweet baby girl is 10 months old today!  Where does the time go?  This is the same age that Ella was when we moved to Louisville and it brings back so many precious memories!  It also makes me so thankful for the time we have had in Louisville.  We have been so blessed to have made such great friends and be part of such a wonderful church (I love my church!).  It has been beneficial to our family in so many ways to be here in this season of our life.  It has strengthened mine and Chris' marriage, has made us better parents (I hope :) )  and has most importantly been sanctifying to our relationship with the Lord.

2 Timothy 2:21 says:

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.

My prayer is that God will continue to work in us to be set apart and ready for the work He has called us to.  That we will put off anything that does not honor God and that we will be a vessel used for His glory and His kingdom.  

And....

Here is Ava, the big 10 month old!

Here is Ella at 10 months old, the day after we moved to Louisville! Can't tell a bit that they are sisters.  :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!  

She's my sister, I love my sister.

My sister was on homecoming court last night at Snead State Community College! I am so proud of my little sister and love watching her grow into a beautiful young lady and see her growing with her relationship with the Lord. She makes me proud to be her sister and the example that she sets. We really enjoyed being able to attend and spend some time with family!

Ella also found Ginny-Lynne's crown from her hs homecoming and said she was "Princess Linny".

friends

We had such a fun weekend!  We went to Northern Kentucky to surprise my best friend from college, Jennifer.  We love visiting her and her husband, Nick, because it always feels like a vacation!  They spoil our girls and Ella loves going to their house and playing with their dog Lincoln.  Jen and I have been friends for almost 10 years!  I was thinking about that this weekend while we were visiting and how blessed I am for her friendship.  There is a quote that says "A true friend knows everything about you and loves you anyway." Jen is definitely that friend.  She probably knows more about me than anyone, besides my husband.  I always joke that I enjoy being around Jen because she makes me feel good about myself because she laughs at my jokes....which are never funny.  But she gets me!  I have really been thankful for the time we have had in Louisville and being able to be so close to her again!  We never take many pictures because we are always caught up in hanging out!  But, I managed to snap a few of them with the girls.

So, do you have a friend who laughs at your jokes even when they aren't funny? 

Be blessed!

Today

Well, I abandoned ship on my old blog.  I decided I had neglected it long enough and I wanted to begin fresh and new.  I get so inspired by everyone's blogs and then go to write and feel intimidated. But, if nothing else, this can be a place to share life's comings and goings.  The joys of our busy family.  I have made a resolution to post at least once a month!  We shall see how this goes!!


I leave you with this cuteness.  Who says a rainy day has to be dull?

That girl looooves her rain boots!  She would wear them everday!  
Be blessed!
