Beth Moore is challenging siestas on her blog to memorize 2 Bible verses a month. Well, I'm up for the challenge! This is my favorite verse right now! I just love it. I've had this note card by my computer desk for months now. I have it somewhat memorized but not completely embedded in my heart and soul like it needs to be so I thought I'd start out easy and memorize this one first. I can't imagine a better verse for me. First of all, it talks about how God delights in us. I LOVE that!!! And, I'm a pretty fearful person so Him calming my fears really appeals to me. But, not only does He calm our fears, He does it with LOVE!!! And, I am such a music person. I love music so much. It's one of my favorite things in life so thinking of Him rejoicing over little ole me with joyful songs makes my heart want to explode! I just love this verse so much. The mighty Savior part is pretty awesome, too. I already think I know the verse I'm going to memorize for the 15th....Jeremiah 33:3. I love that verse, too. I want to know it as well as I know John 3:16.

I am finally better!!! YEA!!! No more cold!!! I got stuff done today. I paid bills, which is something I dread so much but the feeling I get when I'm through is always such a relief. I got my New Year's cards in today so I got a lot of those addressed and sent out AND I even went to the A. Club and exercised today!!! I have missed exercising this week. I haven't exercised since last Sunday and really needed it. I sleep better when I exercise and just feel better all around. And, tonight, Mar and I finally got out and did something fun. We went to Kobe, our favorite restaurant, and then we went to see the Tale of Devareaux. It was a cute little cartoon. There's not a whole lot of movies out there that won't pollute our minds so when there's a cute cartoon out or any clean movie (so rare!), we'll go see those. We ended up sitting with the Ford's at Kobe. That was kind of fun. Turns out dad delivered one of his kids so that was neat. Our waiter was funny tonight, too. It was just a good date night.

This is one of my favorite pictures! My dad is always wearing a funny hat. He is not the least bit concerned about what anyone thinks of him and I love that! All the grandkids call him Poppy which I think fits him perfectly. I also think this picture is funny of Hannah beside him. :) I love my family.
Bye y'all! More later.

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...

Bye Bye 80's kitchen!!

Well, my kitchen is mostly finished!! It's completely painted!! I am so excited to have a brighter updated kitchen.  It just feels completely different.  I'm not completely finished but here's what I've got for now.   The cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Linen White and the walls are Benjamin Moore clay beige. I'm so glad to see the florescent oak square light gone!! I replaced it with chandeliers I got at a flea market!! :) We also hired an electrician to put more canned lighting in because after the florescent square was gone, we needed more lighting. I painted 48 cabinets and drawers and the body of the cabinets (don't know what the official name for that is) and was so burned out by the time I finished the island that my sweet husband suggested we hire a painter to paint the rest for me! I am SOOOO glad he did!!!!  See the faith, truth, love window frame beside the pantry door? Well, my super talented sister-in-law, Sabrin...

Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
