A heavy heart

Sometimes things in life happen that we don't understand and never will. We ask over and over why? Why did this happen? Why now? What was so bad that they didn't see another way. These along with thousands of other questions were asked yesterday and will continue to be be asked for a long time to come. Tragedy hit our family yesterday and it's something that we'll never understand. Things could have turned out way different than they did and that would have been worse. I'm not saying that what did happen was good in any way, but I believe that God has a plan and I'm going to leave it at that. 

Driving to work this morning it was so foggy and seemed fitting with my mood for the day and life in general right now. I know that life will resume and go on like it always does. I know that my sister and nephews will go on with their lives while trying to deal with all that has been thrown their way. I know that with pray and God, He will see us through it. I know that he never gives you more than you can handle, even though it may seem like it. 

Project Life Week 32 & 33

Happy Sunday and first day of Fall. I for one am ready for the season to change, I'm beyond ready for some cooler weather. How about you? I wanted to pop in real quick and share weeks 32 & 33 of project life.

Week 32 was about being lazy, a journal, visit to the dentist ( I hate the dentist and I'll be going once a month over the next several months ack!!), a birthday celebration, I wore a dress to work (never happens) and our little trip to see Bruno Mars.

Week 33 was all about recovering from the concert, David starting his new job, movie night, at the new house to scope out the progress, 61 degree weather during August?!?!? what the what.... crazy I know, chocolate cupcake for breakfast (yummy) and men at work. David and his uncle running the water line. Both weeks were pretty busy and the weeks are going by so fast.

I'm still behind and still playing catch up, but I love this project and am so glad that I've done this over the past few years and look forward to continuing to do it. How about you? How do document your life?

The Flea Market

 

This past weekend my sister, mom and I went on a little two hour road trip in search of this flea market that my sister was told about. So we piled in the car Saturday Morning and took off. We always have fun when we are together, laughing, making fun of each other, gossiping and singing at the top of our lungs so two hours in the car really doesn't seem that long.

 

We finally got to the place and was ready to get our shop on.



This sign is SO me. I just had to take  picture of it. And really if it wasn't for last minute the chances of me getting anything done would be pretty slim. ☺

 

The one thing I really wanted was these old wash tubs and the stand, but It was for display only. Made me really sad, because this would have been great sitting on our new back porch. So now I'm on the hunt for one that is for sale.

 

We spent about three hours wondering around this very over priced flea market. I was the only one who bought anything and I spent fifteen dollars. (I'll have to another post on that DYI).

 

Then we hit up Lowes and a few other places before we landed at The Outback.

We finished the day off by sharing a yummy treat before we headed home. It was a great day and I loved that we got to share it with each other. Hope your weekend was just as great.

 







Project Life Week 31

Hello project life week 31 and hello Monday. Wanted to share this really quickly today before I head off the new house (something about the plumbing.... always something).

This week started off with a little go cart and ice cream before we headed home from Hot Springs, AR. I loved the shower curtain in our hotel room, just a nice little reminder. I love the yogurt from McDonald's.

And the week ended with me needing a major chocolate fix and not wanting to make anything so I ate just chocolate chips and peanut butter with a spoon. I mean is there really anything better when you need a fix? I think not. :) I also had my first iced caramel mocha from McDonald's. Let me just say that I am NOT a coffee drinker. I love the way it smells, but I have never been one to drink. For whatever reason I got this idea that I wanted to try an iced mocha so off to McDonald's I went. Yeah, I'm still not a coffee drinker. LOL Then Friday FINALLY rolled around. It was a long week followed by loads and loads and loads of laundry that still hadn't been but up from when I went to the laundry mat on Wednesday. This was bit of a crazy week and I was glad when it was over. I hope you had a great Monday!!

(ha I just realized that I didn't stamp the dates for this week on the date card. LOL I'm off to fix that right now).

Celebrating 8 yrs

Good morning and happy Labor Day!! I love when a holiday falls on a Monday because that means I get to sleep in and either do nothing all day long or plan something fun. I still haven't decided what we'll do today but so far I'm leaning toward the do nothing. I did want to pop on here and share a recent layout that I did. I had these instax from when David and I celebrated our 8th anniversary back in May, just laying around so I figured it was time to do something with them. This page was very simple to throw together and didn't take long at all which is always a good thing since we are still in the trailer and my space is limited. I CAN NOT wait to get this house done so I'll finally have my scrapbook room back. Hope your Labor Day is a great one.
