Easter Blessings

Until recently, I had never noticed something special about this picture. Something rather remarkable to be honest. Until recently, I had always admired this picture and considered it to be, well, cute. But today, I think of this picture as one of God's little reminders that he is always present in our lives. To everyone else, this picture may include two people, a street sign, and some power lines, but to me, I see a sign of faith and spirituality. I like to think that the cross pictured between us is a reminder to keep faith and Jesus Christ in our lives and marriage. I like to believe that I know a Lord who, despite our faults, is ever guiding us to be a better spouse, friend, and overall person. I like to think that this symbol reminds me how many great and wonderful people and experiences I have in my life because of my faith and trust in God. It can be very easy to feel alone, disappointed, and angry, but on this Easter Sunday, I am reminded how truly loved I am.

Our Nest

This pillow is absolutely perfect for my sweet home . I am so grateful to have a cozy place that Cody and I can call all our own.

You Made That?

Men and their tools. I will never understand it. Maybe it's like us with our shoes? Who knows? Anyway, I can't nag Cody too much. He is pretty talented with his woodwork skills. Most of the time I'm not sure what he is tinkering with out in the garage, but sometimes he seems to surprise me. Like when he comes in the house with this little happy. Check out what he made. He even helped with the chevron pattern. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't think there is anything that man can not do. 

Mississippi Magazine

Definitely worthy of the coffee table . I anticipate this little treat every month and fall in love with this state a little more with each issue. I appreciate how it showcases the many talents of Mississippians. It really is uplifting and enjoyable.

Oh JT..

May I just say that if I wasn't married to my hunky husband, I would totally be Mrs. Justin Timberlake. I think my thirteen year old self would also agree.  Hehe.

Look What I Found

Just another reminder that our sweet Boston is always with us. After having a somewhat blue week, Cody and I stumbled upon this burlap. After my initial gasp of excitement, I immediately scooped it up and took home two yards. Most of you know that Boston's nursery is decorated in antique bicycles, or velocipedes, if you want to get technical, and I am always on the lookout for any small trinket that we can add to the decor. I have faith that God will bless us with a second child who will surely love these symbols and the remembrance of our son. 

AT&T Nailed It..

If you were not already aware, this week is Spring Break. Hallelujah, we made it! Teachers all across Desoto County are doing anything but NOT thinking about our classrooms. If truth be told, though, the majority of us (teachers) think about our babies and hope they are having a great break as well. Lucky for me, the quirky AT&T commercials pretty much sums up what a typical response would be from one of my second grader kiddos.  After seeing this commercial repeated every ten minutes on TV, I feel like I"m back in the ole classroom. I tell ya, those babies may give me gray hair at times, but they sure are funny. Lord, the things I have heard. This is an example of a conversation that could occur on any given day. (I can totally relate to the man trying to keep a straight face.)
