I just read this on Abby's facebook and thought it was so sweet. These are my parents (her grandparents) and my dad is an awesome husband and adores my mom! I am so thankful that he has been my role model for what a husband should be. I married someone just like him which thrills me!!!

My Nana and Poppy!


Yesterday while nana and poppy were gone my aunt Heather found this scrap book that my nana had made of all of poppy's card's that he had gotten her over the years. And oh my goodness!!! It was the sweetest thing, nobody could read these precious letters without crying at least a LITTLE! I also went wedding dress shopping with Christina today..(she found the one!) So I'm thinking about love. But ya..Poppy wrote the sweetest notes to my nana!

The ones that were the most meaningful were the most recent ones because he talked about how love grows over time. Love is what happens after all the fuzzy feelings are gone and that unconditional love is there. It's when you think about the other person much more than yourself. It's when you stay when you feel like leaving the most. He talked about how he loved her just being in the same house with him and how he never wanted her to leave his side. He talked about how beautiful she was and how she would always be his best friend. He said it made him sad to go be a Doctor everyday because it meant he had to leave her for a while. He even takes off Friday's now because he misses her too much! It sometimes talked about how they have worked through the rough times and that has made their love stronger. I'm telling you, these were the CUTEST letters ever!!! Then he said in one of them how only Jesus could make something so beautiful happen. And he said only years can make this beautiful love. Sometimes poppy said that the fuzzy feelings at the beginning trick people into marriage and then later they realize what real love is, but most people don't get there because maybe they give up when it gets rough. These letters were so adorable, I can't even tell you how sweet they were! He would just leave her notes around the house telling her how much he loved her! What a sweetie pie my poppy is!

That is the kind of love I want!! I believe in my heart that this special love is out there, because Jesus is so amazing and he would put something that incredible on this earth. And because of the desires of my heart, I know that God will bring me that man one day. I was so cynical for a little bit there, but yesterday my heart was completely softened to males!! Maybe they aren't so bad. Maybe when the right fit comes it will all be different. I sure hope that someone will love me so much that they don't even like to leave for a day at work. I hope that one day someone will call me their lifelong best friend. I sure hope that maybe I can get notes around the house about how great I am! haha Who doesn't love to hear how great they are? lol! As weird as this sounds I long for my love to come so bad that I miss him! And I have no idea who on earth he is!!! That might be strange, but I'm sure a lot of girls feel the same way.

Anyways, basically my Poppy has now softened me to men. I am no longer cynical and I believe that there is a love perfect for me out there. And we will be best friends and never leave each other. And he will be so handsome and I will feel safe in his arms. When he holds my hand, I'll know I belong. And i'll love him and scratch his back and draw him cool pictures and we will laugh really hard all the time and it will be just great!But that's not for a looooong time. Patience, God please give me patience to wait on my man! Some of the best things in life we have to wait for. And if this note is still on here when I'm old old old and getting married at age 30...I hope that my love knows I was missing him. I'm so cheesy :)..and I love every minute of my cheesiness!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
