I cannot believe it has been over a month since I have blogged! I had no idea it had been that long.  Here's a quick blog post in pictures showing the last month.
I just liked this picture because my Sunshine is in it. :) I love that baby girl!! 
Madie had her surgery!! She did great! Today it has been 3 weeks since she had it.  She doesn't look like someone who just had brain surgery in this pix, does she?! 
Abby graduated from college with a degree in elementary education AND she already has a job as a first grade teacher at Little Rock Christian! GO ABBY!! She will be a GREAT teacher!!! 
Banny got dedicated at church on Mother's Day.  Macy got me a dozen cupcakes for Mother's Day and hid them in all the places I go in the house. It was really fun! :)  
Ellie graduated from high school!! Hard to believe our youngest graduated and we no longer have any kids in high school!! She'll be going to LA Tech fall in Ruston. 
Mar and I celebrated our 12th anniversary at Santa Rosa Beach, FL.  We went to the Melting Pot the day after our anniversary (on our actual anniversary, we met Katelind and her family in Seaside for dinner).  We got our own little room with a little booth.  It was so neat because the one picture in the room was a picture of a cross at sunset.  It was so symbolic for me! I know that God has been watching over our marriage for 12 years! If it wasn't for Him, there is NO WAY that we'd still be married! I am so thankful for my sweet husband. I seriously cannot imagine a better husband. He is amazing and I am so so thankful!!! 
I celebrated my 40th birthday at Santa Rosa! The perfect place to spend a birthday!!! We had a big family group in Santa Rosa with us.  Hannah and her kids drove down with us and we met Shanny and her family there.  I LOVE the beach so much!! Andy stayed at our house with the dogs.  It rained almost every day in LR and was sunny every day in Santa Rosa. 

I went ELEVEN days without exercising!! It was such a great break! Last year when we went to the beach, I woke up early and exercised every day. This year, I decided I wasn't going to stress over it and it was such a freedom for me! Mar loved it, too! He said he got to spend more time with me. It's so funny because every single person that I have told how long I went without exercising had the same response: "Good for you!". I thought that was funny! Anyway, I finally went walking/jogging yesterday and it felt so good! It wasn't hard, either! It was even easier than usual.  I am a little sore today, though, which is really strange! I'm never sore.  I guess going 11 days with no exercise will do that to you. I haven't gone that long without exercising in at least 4 years. I loved the break and even thought about never exercising again but then I remembered that my body is a temple of God and that exercise in good for you and healthy. I also really enjoy it but it was kinda fun taking a break. 

Nancy Hamilton is coming to help Macy organize her room on Saturday! If you're reading this, say a quick prayer for Nancy right now!! I don't know that she has any idea what she's getting into. I'll tell ya, though, she's as good as any professional organizer out there.  She wrote me a long message all about it and she is GREAT!! She is coming in the morning to look at Macy's space. I told Macy to have her room clean and her trash thrown away.  Maybe Nancy won't be so taken aback if her room is clean. :) If Nancy survives the organization of Macy's room, she will never consider any other room a challenge and will be ready for the show Hoarders!! I have never actually seen that show but have heard all about it!!

Okay, I am exhausted! I have been tired all day for some reason (maybe the exercise yesterday and my hormones are out of whack, I think) and need to head to bed.  SOOO tired! I was supposed to walk with Katelind at 8:00 tomorrow morning but had to cancel because I am just too tired.  8:00 just seems way to early when I'm this tired.

More later...hopefully not a month 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...

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...
