Valentine's Day has always been my favorite holiday! I just LOVE it!!! I love all the colors, the chocolate, and it being a holiday about love.  Well, Lamar and I were in a fight yesterday on Valetine's Day.  Actually, we were in a fight all weekend and are STILL in a fight.  My heart is not the same when things aren't right between us.  I REALLY tried hard to not feel sorry for myself yesterday when I got on Facebook and saw all the great things all the husbands were doing for their wives.  Driving home from Big Cedar yesterday, I started thinking about widows and how God is their husband and how they have the best husband ever. That got me thinking that God could be my Valentine. After all, He is perfect and loves me even when I'm bad.  He knows me better than I know myself and He loves me no matter what!!! Well, right about the time I started thinking that, it started snowing!! :) I thought, "WOW, a man may be able to give chocolate and roses on Valentine's Day but God can give SNOW!!!! I felt so loved.  Then, when I got home, it started snowing big flakes! I love snow!! I have seen more snow this winter than I have in my whole life combined. I just love it! Macy was home when I got back.  I ended up telling her that Lamar and I were in a fight and I hadn't even heard the words, Happy Valentine's Day (obviously feeling sorry for myself), so she said, "Let's go see Dear John".  HA! :) I said, "ABSOLUTELY!". I had no idea that she had a study guide due and had planned on working on it during that time. She gave up doing that to be my Valentine.  It meant so much to me.  Then, when we got home, she said she was going back to school and I said goobye to her.  I then went upstairs to walk on the treadmill.  After I had been walking 20 minutes, Macy pops into the room with Godiva chocolate for me! :) She knows how much I LOVE Godiva but I haven't actually had Godiva chocolate in years! I'm giving up chocolate for Lent so I have today and tomorrow left to enjoy chocolate and you better believe I'll be enjoying that Godiva! :) Macy was so thoughtful.  I sure do love that girl! God used her to make my Valentine's extra special and He also gave me snow!!! Yesterday will be a Valentine's Day I'll never forget. :) 

I just have to add more thing about May May.  We were talking yesterday and she told me that she had gotten a lot of money lately because of her birthday and Valentine's Day. Then she started telling me about how she was going by a restaurant the other day and saw 2 older couples eating inside. She decided to go in that restaurant and pay for their meal!!! She walked in and told one of the men that she wanted to buy those 4 people their meal and not to tell them who it was from. The guy looked at her like she was crazy and said, "Okay" and smiled.  He then found their waiter and he brought Macy their ticket and she paid for them! I bet they would have been surprised that a college teenager bought their meal! :) She blessed them and I am so proud of her!! I am thankful that she has such a giving heart!!!

I hope things are better today! I appreciate your honesty; life isn't always wonderful and it is good to be real and let people know that it's ok! I wish I knew Macy better, she seems so amazing!

I hate to hear that you and Lamar aren't getting along,you need to quit now,give him a big smooch,and forgive one another just as He forgives you. You two are two peas in a pod,jack and jill, forrest and gump,your together. Don't know what the fussin is about,but we need to see your smiley faces again.
Your daughter is amazing,what a big heart she has for others.

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...
