Macy goes back to college....sophomore year.

Well, Macy has gone back to college.  The house seems so quiet.  I'm so happy where she is, though.  This was a tweet the other day from Ouachita....."For the fourth straight year, Ouachita Baptist University has been ranked the No. 1 Regional College in the South by U.S. News & World Report." I'm glad Macy is at a good school!! Here are some pictures.
Macy and I went to see Nanny McPhee on Friday and then went to Bravo, which was EXCELLENT!! Macy got the best steak I have ever tasted. It was dripping in butter sauce!! SO good!  
I got some kind of seafood dish that wasn't my favorite.  Next time, I'll get what Macy got. The atmosphere was great, though. 
For those of you who saw my last blog post, look at the difference in Macy's room!! Here's a picture of it before. I can actually see the floor!! I think Charlie Bear knew she was about to leave because that's the only time her room is clean. :)  
We left our house around 1:30 and headed to Arkadoo. :) I forgot to get a picture of Macy's room before we started moving it around.   I got one the second I remembered to, though...so here's a kind of before picture.  Macy is in the new dorm this year and it's really pretty!!! Here Lamar and Ryan are stacking the 2 desks on top of each other.  Macy's roommate had an injury so she couldn't come to college this semester so for now Macy has a room to herself.  She's excited about it...who wouldn't be?!
Andy always comes and helps us move Macy in.....she's such a sweet friend! We saw Abby there, too, and went and got ice cream with her...even though she didn't eat any. :) Addy and Ryan helped, too, which was REALLY nice of them...they had to travel 4 hours with carpet and cinder blocks (that we found out aren't allowed in the new dorm) in the back of his truck. We ended up not using the carpet, either...the wood floors were too pretty to cover up.
Her room all finished. :) 
Her cute little chair. 
I love her desk area.  
The whole room...still have to get curtains. 
Andy and May May. :)  
Cute little desk. 
Same pillows as last year but I love them! :)  
Awesome bathroom!! Macy gets her own sink!! :) YAY!!! Pretty!! 
Macy's little suite...when you walk in, the bathroom and sinks are to the right and her dorm room is to the left...they have their own little area. They've got it made!  
Saying goodbye. :( Good thing she's just an hour away, especially since she forgot ALL her hang up clothes!!!
Charlie Bear and I sent this picture to Macy today to tell her we missed her.  Charlie Bear is frowning...he's usually smiling. He loved having Macy home this summer.  He would go outside her door every morning to say good morning to her. He would whine outside her door to let her know he was there.  I felt so bad because when we got home last night, CB didn't greet us at the door. I found him in the office having a seizure. It makes me so sad to see him get older. He was okay after a few minutes. I felt so bad, though, because he loves to greet us at the door and he couldn't move when he saw our car pull in through the office window.  I sure do love my sweet guy! His birthday is in a month...he'll be 11 years old. He sure has been a great friend.

We should have a little bit cooler temperatures this week.
The high on Thursday is only 89!! WOO-HOO!! This heat has been horrible this summer. I've gotten a heat rash from exercising out in it. I have never in my life been so excited for cooler weather. A few weeks ago when I was walking at 7:45 pm, the heat index was 111!!!! I just want to be able to enjoy being outside again...being outdoors in God's creation is one of my favorite things and it's just been too hot lately to enjoy it very much.  Well, I need to go work on getting more things together to give away....there is a truck coming tomorrow to our neighborhood and all we have to do is put our give aways out of the curb.  I organized the linen closet this weekend (cannot believe I didn't take before/after pictures...it was impressive, believe me!) and have a lot of sheets, blankets, etc. to give away.  I'm going to slowly organize and get give aways together over the next few weeks. That way, next time when the truck comes, I'll have a lot of stuff for them..AND I'll be more organized!!! 

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...

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...

He is Risen INDEED!!!

Happy Easter!!! Ahhhh...I'm just SO SO thankful that Christ ROSE and we are free!!! WOOHOOOO!!! I alway love the Easter service at church at this was no exception. The worship is always my favorite and every year I wish I would have gone to both services. This year our church had the Arkansas Symphony up there with them and the music was just so beautiful! All the songs were such wonderful songs about Christ rising again. And there was a huge wooden cross on the stage that was so beautiful. I, of course, had to take a picture but the picture doesn't quite do it justice. It was just so beautiful.    Brandon preached the sermon and it was so good, too. After the sermon, we sung an old hymn that I love.....Because He Lives. Easter was even more special today because Kevin and Macy were with us. This was their one year dating anniversary and they have now been married 15 days! This weekend was their first time here since they have been married. We got to see them last weekend...
