Well, we're putting our house up for sale. We are going to downsize. I think it's the smart thing to do because it's just me and Lamar in this big house almost all the time. Macy is here on some weekends and for 3 months in the summer but we still have a really big house for just 3 people. It's rare that I ever even go upstairs. I decided to just start looking online at houses and the day I did, I found this adorable house. Not only is it white with black shutters with dormer windows but it also has a front porch. It has my name written all over it. It's in our price range, too, and in a good neighborhood. They are asking less than $100 a square foot which is very rare for a cute house in a good neighborhood. It's also 2,700 square feet...not too big and not too small. Anyway, Lamar called our realtor today to make an appointment to see it. We were going to go on Friday. Well, Virginia called back to say it already has a contract on it. :( I'm disappointed but I trust the Lord 100%! Look how cute this house is, though.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this house!!! I could just see me sitting on that front porch in a porch swing with Charlie Bear by my side. Also, I really really liked the inside. Oh well. God knows what He's doing and where we're supposed to be. He also knows when and if our house will sell. There is a house on our street that has been for sale for over a year. It has a contract on it now, though. I love the neighborhood we're in now. I've always loved this neighborhood. It's the safest I have ever felt. I also like our house a lot. I understand about downsizing and that is what we need to do, though. I'm a little sad about it but the house above made me feel a little better about it. I trust the Lord completely, though. He knows things that I could never know and I trust Him with our future.

Little princess had a swimming lesson yesterday. Her instructor was a man and the other 2 kids in her lesson were boys. Rosy does much better with girls and she's already scared of the water some. She got in the water, which was good, but then she wouldn't jump to the guy and I personally don't blame her. I thought he moved too fast for her. Hannah and I went in the office and cancelled her other appointments. She's going to learn but maybe with a girl instructor, like me or Hannah. :) I taught Macy to swim, after all.
I was doing the dishes today and looked out the window and saw this pretty bush with pretty pink flowers. It was a nice surprise. I had to take a picture. We're not going to be in the house forever so I want to cherish things like this. See the rose to the right of the picture...that's a rose from the beautiful bouquet on top of Ree's (my grandmother) casket. We all took a rose. It's been sitting there since December and I think of Ree every time I see it.



I have had a problem with all my plastic storage containers for awhile now. I can never find the top that goes with the bottom.  Today I was putting up the dishes and saw some more tops hidden away and decided to put the tops with the bottoms. 
Much better!!! :) Now I won't have to scramble around looking for a top to fit the bottom! YAY! I threw away the extra tops and extra bottoms that didn't have a pair.  I really need to start organizing my house and going through stuff to give away, throw away, and to keep.  There is supposed to be a curb side pickup for anything people want to give away sometime this week....I think it's the 9th but I put up the sheet while I was cleaning and now I can't find it. That happens to me quite a bit.  Hopefully, I'll find it. 

I realize I've blogged twice today but I need to catch up.  After getting my blog made into a book, I realize how much I love having a place to go back and read about our lives. If I don't blog, I don't remember the small things like I do when I blog.  I still have to put up Easter pictures and write about that so I may blog 3 times today!! :) Lamar's at his Tuesday night meeting...he just started a few weeks ago and really loves it. I'm headed to go walking. I've been waiting until it's a little cooler.  Right now it's 80 but it's just going to have to do because Lamar will be home soon and I want to be able to spend the evening with him.  Off to walk! :)

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...
