Ahhhhhhhh:)


I watched this movie tonight on tv {I can't believe I don't own it}.. it's about the millionth time I've seen it...It's just one of those movies that I really NEVER get tired of watching. One of my favorite lines in the movie is when Kate Winslet is talking to Jack Black about why she came to LA , she says and I quote:

"I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade." ---ah!

I would like to say most of us gals have probably experienced what she's talking about but I hope that most of you haven't. If you have thank the Lord for those things fading!:)

If you haven't seen this movie go watch it.. you won't be disappointed! Great flick!

Nothing too exciting went on this weekend in my life...I'm going to get my hair did tomorrow:) I love going to the salon, there is nothing like it! Have a blessed week whatever you have going on. Know God is in control and let the weight of life be lifted in that truth!

~Peace

Kari Jobe "Sweep Me Away"

I thought this song was especially appropriate since Easter is tomorrow.. It's a good reminder of what the Lord did so long ago on the cross for all this Earth. My Savior has RISEN and I owe him everything I am and have! THANK YOU FATHER:)

"Father, I love your ways
You came in Your mercy and dies in my place
All I can do is bow
Because of Your goodness and Your sovereign grace

That You sweet me away, sweet me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters
Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters

Tears rolling down my face
Because of Your love and your sweet embrace
The peace that just overflows
It's here that I know You have been waiting to

Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters
Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters


(Sweep me away, sweep me away)
Just You and me Lord
Sweep me away
(Sweep me away, away in Your love)
Sweep me away in You love
Oh , away in Your love, sweep

Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters
Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters

Just You and me, just You and me
Sweep me away, oh Lord

Your grace, it covers me
Your love, it covers me
Oh God, You cover me

Your grace, it covers me
Your love, it covers me
Oh God, You cover me"

S.B. 2009

Well Spring Break was a bit of a let down. It felt like it ended on the Tuesday after it started because it rained and was freezing cold outside. I think it rained for like three straight days...=( We needed the rain don't get me wrong but it prevented us from getting out and doing ANYTHING! Hopefully it will pay off and there will be a billion bluebonnets!! Luke and I were going to take a trip to San Antonio and go to the river walk and roam around the city but as you already know that was shot once the rain came. The only plus to it being rainy and cold outside was that I got to spend some QUALITY time with my love=) We had many opportunities to cuddle up on the couch with a blanked and catch many a flick... It was so nice being with Luke for a few days STRAIGHT without any work or school or other obligations there to interrupt us. There is no one that I enjoy spending time with more than that man.. We laugh and just enjoy each others company and it's so nice to have someone to do that with.




In addition to doing that with Luke, my mom and I made Chelsey's 200 wedding invitations OURSELVES! Unless you just want to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on invitations making your own is a great alternative. That way you get to pick exactly what you want color and pattern wise and how you want it to look and plus it's more personalized AND is a fraction of the cost! There are so many great idea's out there for the taking. There are all sorts of card making books that give great ideas and you'd be surprised at what's out there if you just have the time to look. Here is one website that I like The only downside to making your own is that you have to go out and find all the supplies.. colors of paper specifically can be a pain...otherwise it's a great way to cut cost.. I mean because honestly most people will throw them away or lose them.

How did your S.B. turn out??

Memories............

So I substituted 2nd graders today and we went to the museum at Baylor.. we of course had to ride the bus over to Baylor and I haven't been on a bus since I was in high school..

Being on the bus just made me remember all the times that I stepped on and rode the "yellow dog" as my dad likes to say=).. and smelling the smells and being tossed around on the bumpy ride (most people hate it but I always enjoyed it)..made me miss playing volleyball and especially basketball.. isn't it funny how a smell can trigger your memory..??

I remember being in sweats or shorts and piling onto the bus with my two ton sports bag filled with EVERYTHING I could possibly want/need.. my ipod and pillow and a blanket were a MUST! It was nice mellowing out for a short or long while, depending on how far we had to drive to face our opponents and preparing for the game I was about to play usually surrounded by my sweet friends at the back of the bus far away from the annoying underclassmen:)~ The ride home usually consisted of some sort of silliness and talk about the boys we liked or dreading how much we were going to have to run the next day at practice. Those were some of the most fun memories to me. No it wasn't anything EXTRAORDINARY but it was simple times and simple fun. I will always miss playing basketball and wish I had pursued it in college.

You never know what you are going to encounter each day that will take you back in time.....

It's hump day yay!! Weekend come on and get here!
