Beautiful Breckenridge Mountains

Mar and I woke up this morning around 6:30.  I got my shot and then we talked in bed a little and I read Mar my Bible reading plans from my Bible application on my phone. I use that app all the time! I just love it!! It's the youversion app.  After that, I got up and took a shower and prayed again for Macy. I've been trying to pray for her a lot lately and it's been a real blessing to me.  I can see God moving and working.  There is a lot of power in a parent's prayer.  Then, I got a text from my sweet friend, Hope, telling Mar and I to listen to a great teaching from International House of Prayer.  We listened and it really spoke to us, especially Mar because he had been reading the exact verses the night before that they guy was talking about.  Mar was so touched, that he sobbed. I love his tender heart.  I also am so thankful to have friends like Alex and Hope who encourage us to love the Lord more and grow in Him.  We have been praying for years for friends like them and it is so good to see God bring them to us!!  
When Mar opened our bedroom window this morning, this is what we saw. It was so beautiful. I had to go out and take a picture. 
We took our time this morning and then decided to take a ride to Keystone to get pictures of the gorgeous views. It's just so so pretty!! Here's our daily self pix! :) 
So pretty!! We got out of the car a few times and walked around on the side of the road and took pictures.
Thank you, Lord, for your gorgeous creation!!! 
Just beautiful and pictures still don't do it justice!
Mar-e-doodle.
Then, we drove to Frisco to take pictures.  I love the sun shining on the mountain tops.
SUCH pretty mountains! What a charming little town.
Then, we headed to Subway to eat a late lunch and I wanted to stop by and get May May a present so we went in a few shops.  I then decided that I really needed :) to try the Red Velvet Cupcake from the cupcake shop.  It was okay but didn't compare to LR's cupcake place or Paula Deen's red velvet cake.  I still didn't have a problem eating almost all of it. It started snowing while we were walking around the shops which was wonderful. :) 
Then, we drove to other parts of Breckenridge and just looked at the views everywhere. It is just so beautiful everywhere you look....all around you there are mountains. This was right by the new condos One Tree Hill (or something like that) and I was just amazed by all the snow on this little place (I have no idea what this is...maybe a trash receptacle).  The trash receptacles are inside little cabins here where the animals won't get to the trash, I guess. 
After we got back from sight seeing, we hopped into the hot tub.  We have such gorgeous views. Mar's gotten so skinny! I'm so proud of him!!! 
God really spoke to me this morning in Jesus Calling. I LOVE this devotional.  My dad got it for me, too, so it's extra special. It's so good and seems to always speak straight to my heart with the issues I'm dealing with at the time. Today was no exception.  Yesterday, I was feeling a little restless, bored, and very tired. I felt like our day was wasted because we didn't do anything all afternoon.  I knew I was feeling that way because of the cortisone cut in half.  After reading today's devotional, I felt so much better!  I always feel so loved when I know God is speaking. He watches us and cares for us and will speak to us...we just have to listen!!!  Well, I'm going to sign off.  We'll probably hop in the hot tub one more time and then we'll go to bed.  We are getting up early to go dog sledding! YAY! :) 

More tomorrow! ;)

I LOVE Jesus Calling, Heather! It really does always speak straight to the heart. It is amazing how each day is so relatable to whatever my situation is! Only an all-knowing God can work like that!

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...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
