FuN-Filled Weekend!

Loving this fall weather! Chloe is staying with her grandparents most of the weekend. Me & the Hubs are going "junkin", hoping to find some good deals & unique pieces! Friday hoping to scope out some sales by myself & then Saturday going to scope together for some GREAT finds!



Sunday we are going with our family & church to see the Movie "COURAGEOUS". If you have ever seen "Facing the Giants" or "Fireproof" this is by the same producers & has tons of rave reviews online about this movie. I've watched several trailer clips, seems to be an Encouraging, yet Challenging movie, while blessing the soul as well. I happy to know I'm watching the movie with my Dad & my Husband, as this movie is about the VERY Important role Fathers have in their childrens lives & their spouses as well.
Very Anxious & Excited about this weekend, I think it's going to be GREAT!!

Birthday Weekend....Very Blessed!

I had a Great Birthday Weekend! Saturday we got to do one of my FAVORITE past-times, JUNKIN'!!! We got some really good deals, several "Moving Sales" & a few Community-wide yard sales!
That night we went out with my parents/sister to a Seafood place off of Lake Hartwell. I've been hearing rave-reviews & wanted to check it out myself....I give them a A+++!!! Shrimp, catfish, hushpuppies....Mmmmmmmm!!! (Good!!!)
Sunday, my actual birthday ( September 25th), We went to church, ate lunch with both sets of my grandparents, my aunt/uncle/cousin & my parents/sister. They sung "Happy Birthday" to me at the restaurant, I think Chloe was more thrilled than ever, she was smiling ear-to-ear the whole time. That afternoon they all came to my parents & gave me gifts, ate cake etc.
I am SOoooooo Blessed at the family-orientated family I have, so thankful to be able to celebrate my 29th birthday with both sets of my grandparents! (Even our little doggie, Oreo, got to come up to Habersham )

Not the gifts, or the recognition for the day, but the feeling of LOVE that is all around is what made my day so special! The cards with the special messages melted my heart as well....29, is going to be a good year, I just feel it!!!

29.....and HOLDING!!!!

Sunday, the 25th is my 29th Birthday!
It is very hard for me to believe when I tell people I will be 29, where has the last 10 years went, seemed just like yesterday that I was telling people I was almost 20 years old. Alot has happened in the last 10 years though, and I know it has made me the person I am today. College, Career, my Husband/Best Friend, a Beautiful Little Girl, just to name a few.
Age to me is just a number, so "29 and holding" is just a common quote for the age, looking forward to what the future holds for me & relying on God each step of the way!

~ LOVIN' The Weather ~

This cool, crisp weather is SOoooo Nice! It just seems as a fresh a new breath into the tired, sun-crisped weather we had over the summer, everything seems a little lively & energized!
Last night Chloe & I took a walk with Oreo...I shall we say Oreo drug us throughout the neighborhood. Got most of my fall decorations out, now on for planning some fun fall activities!

PeRfEcT Weather For....

This weekend looks to be alot cooler, great time for looking for some good garage/yard sales. Everyone doing their fall cleaning, I'm on a misson for some unique pieces, always fun to dig through another persons junk to see if it can become your treatsure!
So in the morning after dropping Chloe off at school, extra cash in pocket, I'm setting out for a junk-fest adventure!

{ADDICTED with Pinterest}

Okay, if you've never been on Pinterest you wouldn't know the obsession that it intells. I've been on there since Spring time and LOVE it! There are some many neat ideas to try, great quotes to remember & use...hair styles that are likeable....You name it, PINTEREST has it.
I've gotten several recipes off of there, waiting to try but sound so scruptious! Craft ideas for kids, home decor how-to's....I can't say ENOUGH about this "Awesome" website!

S-T-R-E-S-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!! I can't breath ( not literally but I feel that way)! Work has been Non-stop, desk covered for weeks now, more & more stack up for me to do, but not just doing that work, phones ringing off the hook, customers constantly coming in....I'm going to SCREAM or go bald from pulling my hair out!!!!!!!!!!!!

There used to be 3 of us ladies at my work doing this work, now 2 and I'm stuck with most of the missing girls duties, no pay raise, no pats on the back...Yes, I am thankful to God for having a job but it really works a toll on you when you feel like your head is spinning constantly.

Spring/summer months at my work are the worse so sort of anticipating the coming cooler months, to take some loads of work off of me. And to top it off when I get home our new puppy/dog has been digging to China in our backyard....like I need something else to worry about or have to deal with.....BREATH, BREATH, EVERYTHING WILL CALM DOWN EVENTUALLY.......Oh, so I Hope!!!

{OPEN DOOR}

We decided a few months back with many prayers, that we felt led to teach a Sunday School class. I was preferring a kiddie class, no older than 10 years old, but a few weeks later we were asked to teach the 7th - 9th grader class. I was in awe, WHAT ??!!! I thought for a mere second that I was just going deny the offer, but then I thought about those kids, and thought about the sponges that they are & if no one is willing to accept the challenge of teaching those youngsters what they would feel.
I've never taught a class at church, this will be the 1st, but with God's help & many prayers I'm confident that I will be fine. My husband, James said he will be there for support, but I'm the main teacher. I knew I needed to accept this OPEN DOOR because as a Christian I know that God leads, & he is waiting to see if you will Follow!
So on for studying my lesson for Sunday morning......
