My mom is doing so much better!!! She is home now and healing. We are so thankful! Here she is with Rosebud the day she got home from the hospital. She gave Rosie a present for her homecoming. :) People have been so nice...they have prayed, brought tons of food, sent cards, etc. It feels so good to see people love the way people have loved my family through this.



Mar and I went to the Love and Respect video conference at our church this weekend. It was GREAT!!! We've read the book and it was really good but the conference was even better. Emerson Eggerich is a really talented and entertaining speaker. We really enjoyed it! Hannah and Justin went, too, which was fun. I did, however, leave early to do this:

Eat lunch with friends from junior high and high school. :) It was fun to see everyone! At one point, Kendra and Darcy were talking about pilates and they said that while people are in Pilates class, they have gas a lot!!! :) I thought they were kidding but they weren't. They said that everyone who takes Pilates knows this and that people in class just expect it. Kendra said that her friend said to her, "Okay, if you pass gas while you're doing this, don't be embarrassed, it's only natural". HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still laughing thinking of this. I knew Lamar would LOVE hearing this and he laughed hysterically, too. I can only imagine!!! I have really wanted to do a Pilates class but now I'm not so sure!!!

Guess what I finished today???!!!! I finished reading the whole Bible!!! It took my 2 years but I did it!!! I only missed 2 days in the last two years. I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn but this is HUGE for me!!! I have never read the whole Bible even though I have said I was going to a few times. This time I really did it!!! I didn't put a time limit on myself and just went at my own pace so there was no pressure. I also read a lot of the commentary at the bottom so that took longer but I get so much more out of it when I read that. I read the NLT Life Application Study Bible. Now I get to start again. Maybe it won't take me 2 years this time but if it does, that's okay. Well, I'm off to bed! More later!

What an awesome accomplishment, reading the bible in two years!

By the way, I really want to read that book - I'm hoping my library has it! :)

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...

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...
