I am so behind on blogging. I love to blog where I'll rememeber things that have happened. I take pictures all the time because if I don't take a picture of something, I'll tend to forget it ever happened.  If it weren't for Facebook, I would blog a lot more but I put a million pictures on FB and write, write, write.  There is just something in me that has to take pictures and write.  Anyway, all that to say that Macy just got back from Africa and I really need to blog about her trip!! It was her second time to go.  She went two years ago, too.  Ellie and I have been looking at her pictures this morning. It's so neat to hear about what happened on her trip and the way the Lord used her group.  I need to do a whole blog post about that (and hopefully I really will) because her trip was really neat!!!
I have gained about 10 pounds in the last few months. I am estimating. I haven't weighed myself since February and refuse to do so. Last night, I had a dream (nightmare really) that I had to get on the scale and I had gained 27 pounds and I was so devastated and was sobbing!! So, this morning when I woke up, I got on my exercise bike first thing! I have still been exercising this summer but I haven't been doing my daily 4.3 mile power walks because it is too dad gum hot!!! I have been doing a lot of zumba and Just Dance on the Wii but it's not the same.  I LOVE yummy food so I HAVE to exercise or not indulge in all the yummy desserts that I tend to indulge in.  I realized this morning that if I am not as disciplined in one area that I'm probably not as disciplined in the others, too.  Like, for example, I am exercising less...probably 3 times a week on average instead of almost every day.  While I have been exercising less, I have been eating more (hence the weight gain). I have also noticed that when I exercise a lot, I indulge less in food.  I think it's because I'm more disciplined.  Who knows! What I do know is that all my "fat" clothes are tight and I need to get it together!!! Speaking of getting it together, we've been doing the Bible study Breaking Free and it is GREAT!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the videos!! The video last night was my favorite so far.  It was on breaking free from addictions. I could relate to every single word she said and had happy tears in my eyes the whole time because God is just SO SO good!! I just feel so loved by Him.  He has saved me from so many things!! I love our Breaking Free group.  We meet at Hope's house, which is a great setting......so warm and homey and our group is all women that I love!! Macy, Ellie, Abby, Madie, and Katelind are all doing it with us, which I love because it's so much family!!! Molly came last night for a little bit, too.
Ellie, May May, and Kara on the first night of our Breaking Free study.
Mar and I doing Just Dance. It's a great workout and lots of fun!!!

Ellie is living with us this summer!! We love it!! I don't know if I already wrote about that or not but I probably didn't since I haven't updated much. We love having Ellie here!! She is working at Mar's office and so is Macy.  It's been so much fun to get to spend so much time with Elle!! She will be going to college this fall at Louisiana Tech.  Macy has decided that she doesn't want to go back to Ouachita this fall.  She has wanted to go to AR Tech for awhile because all her close friends are there. She feels like she has a group there that will challenge her spiritually, SO, she has applied to Tech for the fall. We are going to look at a house that is for rent there tomorrow. God will have to open a lot of doors...like He will have to provide a roommate and Tech will have to let her live off campus but I totally trust Him with whatever happens.  We'll just see.
A couple of weeks ago, Mar asked Ellie if she wanted a piece of watermelon.  She said she did and this is what he gave her as her piece.....half the watermelon. HA! HA! :)

Wrote this post yesterday. I've been in Russellville all day looking at apartments/housing for Macy. I'm not going to proofread this....too tired. 
Happy Friday!! :)

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...
