Daybook

In the great outdoors...It has been wonderful the last two days! Low temps and humidity have been really nice. I've sat outside in the middle of the day without sweating. In July! Wow, so thankful!

Within our walls...We still have sickness within our walls. 

A heart of thanksgiving...I'm so thankful for the cool weather, pain relievers, and wellness.

A heart of prayer...I'm reminded that the convictions I have that don't matter eternally, shouldn't be used to bully or judge people. And the same for others convictions. I'm praying that I won't be so judgemental.

Random observations...I hate Mosquitos, gnats, and any other flying bugs.

My silly children... Samuel isn't feeling well today. He is achy and feverish. As bad as I feel that he isn't his normal self, I have LOVED lying beside him in my bed and watching tv, talking, and laughing. He's a really great kid.

Thoughts from the kitchen...Tonight we're having tator tot casserole and for dessert, s'mores dip. Yummy, I hope!

What I'm reading...I have read four books in the last week. I love summer, I read a lot!

Sounds of the moment..I'm writing this at 5:15 so the news is on. Sad news today, a Malaysian airplane crashed, probably shot down and Israel is fighting in Gaza. Many lives have been and will be lost, Jesus is the only Hope.

What I'm wearing...T-shirt, black yoga capris, and white socks

A favorite thing from last week...We went to the movie and saw Echo to Earth, or is it Earth to Echo? I don't remember, but it was surprisingly good.

On the calendar...Next Monday I'm meeting my friends Dana and Jill for a girls day. I'm so excited about this, I miss them so much. They are great friends that I've had all of our married life. They are precious.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
