Sweet...:)

A friend of me and Heather's sang this song for our family about a week before we left.

Mary is the one singing, Miriam is sitting on the side. Sweet of them. We have known their family ever since 2001. We might not of survived Africa without them...lol. They were a HUGE help. :)

Best Friends Forever...

Heather Grace, Happiness, and Candace Elizabeth

{We met in 2008 or '09....can't remember....but I know that was one amazing year...which turned into more amazing years...}

She's beautiful inside and out!

ate Heather's No-bake Fudge Oatmeal cookies like we drank water (and got S.I.C.K on 'em)...

we always sat together in church...like always...(when possible)

went swimming...and froze! 
celebrated birthdays! 
stayed up late to watch P&P....twice, than got up at 5am to watch it the 3RD time...

 The Smile

I had an extra smile

When I left the house today

I thought I'd give it to someone

I passed along the way

I tried to give the smile away

But incredibly

Each time I gave it to someone

They'd give it back to me

So now I have a bunch of smiles

What am I to do?

I think I'll keep a couple

And then give the rest to you!

Today...

Is full of possible...

Matthew 19:26

Wear perfume...

Observe and listen...

Be charming...

Laugh...

Wish people a lovely day...

Olaf knows how to have a lovely day! Lol

{Quotes I Love} :)

•

The first to apologize is the bravest,

The first to forgive is the strongest,

The first to forget is the happiest.

Be the girl you want your daughter to be

Be the girl you want your son to date/court

•

May we be consumed with the Creator of all things, than with all things created.

•

Compliment people.

Magnify their strengths,

Not their weaknesses.

•

A negative mind will never give you a positive life.

•

You are amazing, remember that.

•

You NEVER wear glasses!! :)

This morning me and Stuart were looking at the drawing/painting that Abigail had done of our entire family, and I commented on how Abigail should of given me glasses.
Stuart: "Why?? You don't even wear glasses that much!!"

*note- I've worn glasses since I was eight or so, and have pretty bad eyesight...lets just say, I'm kinda blind...in a blurry sort of way.

    

One More Shot....?? :)

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my new blog. For those of you that know me, you know I have had two blogs before, which obviously didn't work out..hehe! 

I love sharing stuff with people, but over the internet more than in person, unless, well, let's just say, unless I consider you close. :) If you want, subscribe! Not that I'm an amazing blogger or anything...cause I'm not! :) 

I'll be posting on a variety of subjects! From biblical, to writing, to artsy, to chocolate!! :)

                                          I would love to have y'all's comments!!

This pic is a few *NINE* months old!
