"If I perish, I perish". Esther 4:16

Okay, so my sweet niece, Molly is getting married on January 9. She is marrying the sweetest guy who loves the Lord so much. It is the sweetest story. Anyway, Molly came to our small group in our Esther Bible study last week. I noticed she got up and left the room for a few minutes and then came back. I didn't think much of it. Right before Molly got up, we were talking about the verse in Esther about her saying, "If I perish, I perish" and how she was willing to give up her life to obey God. Later on that afternoon, I hear Macy upstairs in her room laughing hysterically. I didn't think much of that, either, because she laughs a lot (which I'm so thankful for). After that, she comes downstairs and starts telling me about what she found so hysterical. When Molly bought Logan's wedding ring, she got to have something engraved on his ring for free...part of the package, I guess. Anyway, she got a call from the jeweler during the Esther Bible study, which is when she walked out. It turns out the jeweler was about to engrave Logan's ring and they needed to know what to put on the ring. Molly, caught off gaurd but inspired by Esther's bravery and obedience to God, just told the jeweler to put Esther 4:16..."If I perish, I perish" on the ring. So forevermore, Logan's ring will say, "If I perish, I perish". :) HAAAA!!! So romantic!!!
Here are just some of the fam at Molly's shower yesterday. That shower was great....WONDERFUL food and a ton of people. Molly got so many wonderful things. Molly's the 3rd one from the right on the top row.
Speaking of the amazing food, this was the most amazing dip ever!!! The only thing is that I didn't know it was a dip...I thought it was a casserole. I didn't see the little name by it and just grabbed me a big serving of it. It was seriously the best "casserole" I had ever tasted. I savored every single bite...absolutely DELICIOUS!! I started talking to my table about how great the casserole was and then realized that everyone else had chips with theirs. Turns out, the most delicious casserole I have ever had was artichoke dip and not just any artichoke dip....Paula Dean's artichoke dip. The sweet hostess gave me the recipe (I'll put it on my recipe blog later). I am telling you, this dip is TO. DIE. FOR!!! I even got another helping...without the chips! :)
And here is my sweet daughter and aunt enjoying the dip.

Just a few of Molly's bridesmaids...she's having 14!! :) That's what happens when you have a huge family!

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...
