{so excited about spring!}

We are so excited about it being the first day of spring! 

Why, just look at Happy Henry's face! 

My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!

Song of Solomon 2:11-13

Praise You King of all Kings for Spring!

This is how we spent our Saturday this week. 

Congratulations Glen & Tami Evans! 

It was one of the most simple and beautiful weddings I have ever been to. 

Just gorgeous and what a beautiful couple! We wish you both many, many blessings! 

My gorgeous friend Athena planned the event for Tami and she did an amazing job! 

You are so talented my sweet friend! I wish My lil ole phone camera was able to capture better just how beautiful it was! The photos are kind of blurry but I think my readers can tell it was a day filled with fun, love and laughter! I can't wait to see the professional images! ;) 

{my journey to silver, giving in to the gray}

Okay folks! 

I am giving myself a personal challenge...

I have been wondering for years now what my hair looks like underneath all the color that I have put on top of it for twenty some years.

FOUND MY FIRST GRAY AROUND THE AGE OF 20...

Every month it gets harder and harder to cover the gray {silver I like to call it}.

Plus, they are just turning bright orange when they get color on them
and they are multiplying like crazy!

So, I guess it should take six months to a year for this task to complete itself.    UGH   SIGH

I hope I can hang in there!

I hoping it will be more like the beautiful ladies below than a witch     YIKES! 

I could sure use some prayers for

  strength and perseverance 

through this challenge and that my vanity does not get the best of me. 

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.

Proverbs 16:31

Help me Father to enjoy what you naturally gave me and to find joy in this 

journey to find my silver. Help me to find my worth only in you. 

Help me to discover that my age is just a number and to embrace aging gracefully 

and not compete with younger women or to try to make myself younger than what I am. 

Help me to enjoy the wisdom that has come from you over the years and to be a Titus 2 women. 

Titus 2:3-5

New International Version (NIV)

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

I hope you all join me on this journey to silver ;) 

I will update my progress and share any tips along the way. 

If you have tips on going gray gracefully, I would love to hear them! 

{i've got spring fever, yes i do}

I've got spring fever, how bout you!!!!

As I sit here today in my mix-matched PJ's in front of my computer, I have my back to the window because I am trying to imagine that it is not so gloomy out here in Louisville :(


I am dreaming of wearing something springy and fashionable!

My toes are frozen and I swear there just might be some frost on my glasses...


I have major SPRING FEVER!!!!

My kiddos are getting antsy for warmth and running around outside and I am just ready to go, go, go!!!

Two folks across from our lil ole apartment are moving and I just wanna go jump in the

truck incase they are going somewhere warm and exciting!!! 

So for now, I will just post pictures of SPRINGY STUFF to make me feel like I am there.

COME ON SPRING!!!

We love our Saturday's! 

We got up very early Saturday for some reason? 5 AM

Always my Happy Henry though, no matter how early! 

My Sweet Samuel slept till almost 8! That's my Boy! 

When my Hubby got home we decided to take a road trip to visit the Capitol of Kentucky, Frankfort. 

It is only about 35 minutes from our home here in Kentucky and a very beautiful drive. 

The Capitol building is just gorgeous! 

It is a little over a hundred years old. 

This is the view looking from the Capitol down to the downtown area. 

The Governor's Mansion is right next to the Capitol Building, makes it very convenient for him

 {or her}  ;) 

Downtown Frankfort is really cute! 

Lots of quaint little shops and places to eat or sip coffee. 

While we were in the capitol, we stood on the steps of the capitol building and prayed over the many folks entering that building to make decisions on abortion in this state. We prayed for God's Will to be done and for the holocaust of abortion to end in this state. We prayed for the many babies lives ended and for the Mother's whom made those decisions. That they would repent of this sin and find comfort in the Father's arms. As I held my sweet Henry standing there and reflecting on the Sovereign Grace of God that Saved him from being slaughtered, I wept for all of those that were not. 

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13)
