Great day!

Today started the first day of our mission's month! We had a church wide prayer breakfast to pray for all of our missionaries! :)

Afterwards Avery and I went with Sheldon's Mom and dad to Tampa for a consignment sale! Granny found out I was going to she snuck a few bucks into our account so I could get some Summer clothes for Ave :) she's precious! Really missing my family in Texas this past week... It's hard when you don't have plans for the next time you'll see each other. Airline prices sky rocketed for us over their spring break which is preventing us from neon able to plan something! Working on a few Orders this next week, trying to get some things done before Avery and I leave for Springfield for my dear friend Carrie's wedding :) hopefully I can post some pictures in the next few days of what I'm accomplishing! :) happy Sunday y'all! Hope each of you have a good church home you attend and are being fed regularly! If you need a good boost check out the Proverbs 31 Women's blog... I love love love their daily devotions! :)

Working hard!

 Well last time I posted I claimed that I was back to blogging and I apparently was lying lol :) 

I got pretty busy getting things accomplished for the Christmas Markets I was apart of and slacked off yet again... More recently I was preparing for a girl's conference I was asked to speak at in Louisville, Ohio! I had such a great time and it was truly an amazing experience to speak to that many girls! I am extremely passionate about total purity in girls lives so that session came naturally for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it! :) Here are a few pictures from the weekend!

In the coming weeks I will be posting pictures of some recent orders I've had! 

Thanksgiving

It's been way too long but I should probably start this up again because I always enjoy it! :) Here are a few photos from Thanksgiving! :) Enjoy!
Thanksgiving day was absolute bliss... I was nervous for various reasons but as ALWAYS God totally worked every single aspect out! :) I had a real chance to get to know my soon to be sister in law and it was so awesome getting to just hang out with her! We found out we have more in common than we thought so that was fun!

This weekend is our 2nd Christmas Market as "A Very Southern Belle" I have ten orders just from facebook so after this weekend we hope to open our very own Etsy! :) God is opening so many doors for me and I'm thoroughly excited about what He has for us!

SEWING!

Well, for forever I've been talking about finally taking my Singer Prelude out of the box that it's sat in for 2 1/2 years and finally I did it last night! I've already made two things! I'm so excited about them! :) I'm not too fantastic since I haven't sewed since high school (almost 7 years ago) :)
The END... not sure what I will tackle next but I'd really like to find some sweet fabric while I'm at HOME at Hobby Lobby so that I can make either a convertible car seat cover or even a diaper bag!!!! :)

TRYING!

I'm trying to get better about writing on this thing! lol... I'm not very good at being consistent with things ha ha! If I tell you I'm going to do something I'm gonna do it but... random things I have issues with keeping up with. Examples... All housework: dishes, laundry, craft table clean, toilets eww... lol (I do have about one day a week or so when I go nuts though) ; any kind of diet; blogging; I start things and don't finish them (have gotten significantly better in this area since being married) and MANY more things that I have issues with keeping up with.

ANYWAYS...

Yesterday was a good day... one of my good friends Nicole came to town visiting her family and she came by with her two sweet children Maddalyn 2 and Jackson 7 months. Jackson was born exactly one week prior to Avery! :) We had a good time catching up... She's such a sweet heart and I really miss her living here!

She came back last night along with Tiffany, Megan, Krits, and Trav to hang out and watch the Bachelor! :) I always have a good time when they come over no matter what we're doing... Whether it be Megan's ridiculous impressions of people, Kristi's dancing or Travis' crazy facial expressions I always end up with a sore stomach from laughing soo hard! :) Happy the Bachelor is finally over and glad Tenley can find someone better! PRAISE the LORD! :)

This week starts our mission's conference with three missionary families! I love Mission's week every year! It's so much fun getting to know the families when they come! One family that will be here, we know from our church in Springfield. It'll be nice getting to hang out and see them again. They have three precious children two that I haven't met yet! The oldest was Avery's age when we first met them! So crazy! :)

I guess that's about it... not a whole lot else going on in our life right now... 10 days until Texas!

OHHHH I won a giveaway!!! Isn't that nuts? I seriously never win anything... I'm not gonna post what I received BUT it was definitely very gracious and will go towards a new carseat for Avery! YAY!

Go to my friend Kristin's blog to check out her photography skills! She's also the girl I purchased my camera from! :) We met in college, she's a doll and we share the same birthday! http://kristinpartinphotography.blogspot.com/
