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...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
