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...

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...

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...

 Oh y'all, I have GOT to start blogging again. I don't remember things unless I write about them. I blogged for so many years and can remember those years because I wrote about the things that happened and usually put pictures with what I was writing about. Now, I can't remember a lot of things. For example, used to I would have blogged about a dresser that I redid. It was ugly and I painted it and made it cute. Now, it's my favorite piece of furniture but I didn't blog about it so I have no idea what paint color I used!! I know it's documented somewhere but I sure can't find it. If I would have been blogging, I would have just found my post and I would have for sure written down the paint color. And that's just one example. Hopefully I will start blogging again where I can remember! Here's just a few pictures of the latest that I happened to have on my laptop.  Here's our granddaughter, Eloise. Isn't she precious?! She is such a sweet...

We are getting a GOLDEN RETRIEVER puppy!! We get our choice between these three boys! I am SO excited! I can't wait to have another Golden in our lives and I'm SOOO happy for Reggie. We are either naming our little guy Moses, Brinkley, or Smitty. His middle name is for sure going to be Bear after Charlie Bear. I think we will probably go with Moses even though I think Bear goes better with Brinkley. I like Smitty because it's a nickname for Smith, my maiden name. But, I like Moses because it's a great Bible name and I'm all about names having meaning. I also love the name Brinkley because I think it's such a pretty name. Lamar and I say our movie is "You've Got Mail" and the Golden Retriever in that movie is named Brinkley. We won't get our little guy until the end of January. I can't wait to meet our little cuddly bug!! SO excited! 

I am not decorating for Christmas this year. We are in the process of moving. We are making small loads to the new house every now and then but the movers are actually coming to move the big stuff on Dec. 27th. SO, no Christmas decor this year. Because of this, I am living vicariously through my precious friend, Hope! And if you'e going to live vicariously thorough someone, especially with decorating, she's your girl! HA! Look how beautiful her house is! It's a blessing to just be in there. It feels so Christmasy and homey! Just take a look at some of the pictures I took last night.  She has initials on this little tree for all the family members. I don't think the image quality is very good because I uploaded these on the blogger app from my phone. We had prayer group last night at Hope's and she got everyone candles.  She put a verse on each person's candle.  She said she got me this candle because I bring sunshine to her...
