life lately

If you were a fly on the wall around

our place lately, here's what you'd see...

1.  Dorky & cute poses for the self-timer. 

2.  Delish apple pork chops. (made by the hubs with love)

3.  Pink champagne for Valentines.

4.  Multi-tasking. (posing + tooth-brushing, duh)

silliness...and a birthday

This sly sheep cracks me up, so I figured

I would share the joy.  (and get that

dang song stuck in your head too!)

And...on a totally unrelated note, 

I want to wish my lovely Momma 

a very happy birthday!   I love you, 

and am so grateful for the amazing

 lady you are and have challenged 

your daughters to be!

rest

We had one of those quiet, blissfully sleepy weekends.

You know the type - full of movies and naps.  

Leave the house only when necessary. 

Plenty of cuddling on the couch.  Lots of 

laundry and catching up on little 

household jobs.  Stay in pjs as long

as you'd like.  Rest.  Time together.

Happiness.  :)

happy list

1. Sunshine.
 There's nothing like a bright,
sunny skies to lift my spirits! 

2.  Interesting art.
Loving this clever and beautiful
take on postage stamps.

3.  Morning gym dates.
Good conversation and company
makes for a good start to the day.
(Oh, and the actual working
out part isn't bad either...)

4.  Good music.
I switched out cds in my car
this morning, and re-discovered
this gem of a song.  Wonderful.

5.  Vacation countdown.
We leave for warmer places in about
two weeks, and we're currently
obsessing about packing and
other fun things.  :)

busy, continued.

Life has been so busy lately around these 

parts.  I feel like someone hit the fast-forward

button and every day is just blurring by, 

which is total craziness.  It's been a struggle

to just take every day on its own without

being completely overwhelmed, but

God has been so faithful to provide the

peace and rest I need.  Psalm 16 has been

a huge source of joy & strength lately - 

go check it out if you could use some too.
