Slowing Down

Sometimes you just need a breather. Alone time. I know I've been needing some. This is my special place, and I've been looking forward to simply sitting in the sand, feeling the wind, and feeling the icy water on my toes. This is another one of my God places. Quieting my heart, I feeling simply surrounded by his love. This was my favorite part of the day. 

I found this verse while sitting there and can't help but share its comfort:

“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;

I will take hold of your hand.

I will keep you..." Isaiah 42:6a

Prop Secrets

Secret prop I've been working on today, for a cute little boy. Yes, that's why you can't see it very well :). Oh, how few my words are tonight. I'm going to stop trying to make them come and just sign off :)

Once Upon...

Stories that begin with "once upon a time" are always the best kinds of stories! They'll take you away to another time and place. So long as you've kept your imagination with you. But if you've forgotten what it's like to dream and to laugh. To fly, and run as fast as the wind. To go on adventures and be the beauty or the hero. Well then, what a terrible loss that would be. 

Game Day

After a month of working on Grand Prix cars, my brothers finally got to race them today. All three of them. A pirate ship car, a candy cane car, and a sword car. And, a few of them brought home trophies :).

Later in the day, Luke and I headed out to a football game. The flags were forgotten and so they ended up playing tackle which resulted in a very skinned up Luke..

The Best Days

Though not feeling the best today, I was pleasantly surprised at finding a love letter in the mail from my sweetheart. These are the best kinds of days! And, what made it even better was a date to a little, romantic restaurant. I have the best man in the world! He's so sweet to me. It makes my heart sing :)

This was our attempt at a self portrait, in very low lighting with a 50mm lens.. Doesn't work too well :) But it was fun!

Dentist Day

Some would call today a bad day and others a good day. It was a dentist day. If needles aren't involved, I unlike my mother, love to go to the dentist. And, leaving without having to come back in a few days makes it all the better. :)

No, I'm not this enthusiastic about the dentist normally, but it was the most exciting thing that happened today... :)

Tried something different with editing today too...

Oops...

I'm going to share an embarrassing story with you all. This pie was not meant for my family, but we ate it...all of it. *sheepish grin* I made it for a neighbor but the tapioca didn't seem to dissolve like it was supposed to. Having never made this pie before I wasn't sure if it even tasted good either! And, with all the "what, you didn't make that for us?? from my brothers, how could I resist cutting a slice. Pie number two for the neighbors starts tomorrow and this time it's getting over there. Oh, did I mention it was delicous?? =D
