Love Times

so, last weekend was Valentine's day weekend! busy weekend.

Friday

Friday (the 11th) was my cousin Ashley's wedding day! so they had planned to have a very small ceremony and just hold a big reception with all their friends and family on a seperate day. anyways, friday was the recetion and i went early that morning to help decorate. they had those flat mirrors that you lay on tables and they came with big stickers on them. my job was to peel the stickers off. i used a razor blade, and me being me, i slipped and cut my finger. it started bleeding, but im used to cutting myself at work all the time, so i just ignored it. but then it was gushing blood and it wouldnt stop, so my cousin (the bride's brother) took me to the ER. i ended up getting 3 stitches and found out that instead of cutting my finger i actually sliced the tip off. yikes.

anyways...that night at the reception, which was beautiful by the way, the DJ announced that the groom had a surprise announcement. he walked out with a minister, and next thing you know, here comes the bride in her beautiful wedding gown! they got married with all of their friends and family right there! it was beautiful.
okay, so that was friday.

Saturday

Saturday morning, me and my sister hollie drove to Arkansas to see our other sister valerie, her husband nick, and their perfect little boy caleb. we had so much fun! we played cards, baked and decorated sugar cookies, watched a movie, and the best part...we played with caleb! :) he is so much fun! he loves to kick and smile and talk.

Sunday

Sunday morning we went to church and watched nick preach. he is such a great guy! amazing sermon, and wonderful people in the church family. after that, we had lunch at a scary place. but it was yummy. then me and hollie left for home :( back in wichita, we stopped by our grandparents house to spend some time with some special people. we enjoyed them, and gave them some of the cookies we made.

Monday

Monday night (valentine's day), me and hollie had a date with our darling grandpa. he took us to cracker barrel for the first time, it was amazing! he told us about his childhood and how different things were back then. i love listening to him, he is so wise and great :)

ummm, that was my weekend! i have some great people in my life :) ive been real blessed. God is great!

take care, stay healthy, sweet dreams.

hello, happy wednesday, everyone! i hope your brand new year of life is going greatly :)
i have already learned a bunch this year, due to my stronger passion of spending time in my new bible :) God has a way of opening my eyes to stuff. the biggest things he's taught me is that the more you see life through his eyes, the smaller the world seems. i've started to see what's important and most things people spend their time worrying about or getting upset about, really dont matter. sometimes it can be frustrating to be on a different page. to see things super differently than other people. thats where patience comes in :)

anyways, ive had a bucket list for a while. i put things on it that i not only want to do before i die, but things that are realistic to achieve. i made a scrapbook of the list, so that all i have to do is add pictures to it when i do something.

ummm Valentine's Day is coming up...this year it will be my first one spent single in a while. so to make it actually enjoyable, me and my sister hollie are going to Arkansas to see our big sister and brother, and our nephew Caleb. :)

okay, thats it for now i think. enjoy your february!
